This book is an expose on the state of public health in the capital city of Mexico, highlighting the appalling living conditions during the early 20th century. Drawing comparisons with other cities around the world, the author presents statistical data on mortality rates, demonstrating that Mexico City had the highest rates, nearly triple the average of other comparably sized cities. The grim statistics delve into the causes of death, emphasizing diseases born out of poor sanitation and lack of nutrition. The text condemns the prevalent unsanitary conditions, the lack of access to clean drinking water, and the overall neglect by authorities, leading to a shockingly high infant mortality rate. The author calls for the urgent need for sanitary reform and education to improve the health and well-being of the city's inhabitants. Ultimately, this book serves as a historical record for the deplorable state of public health in Mexico City and offers a stark reminder of the need for adequate sanitation and healthcare.
