Tarred roads or tobacco? Debates on the cause of lung cancer, nineteen-twenties to nineteen-fifties: Debates on the cause of lung cancer, nineteen-twenties to nineteen-fifties
Until the twentieth century lung cancer was an uncommon disease of obscure causation.Then, as its incidence increased, questions arose about the factors responsible. Some blamed the introduction of tarred roads, others the fast-spreading habit of cigarette smoking. From the nineteen-eighties Richard Doll repeatedly expressed surprise that he and Bradford Hill had been able to establish the complicity of tobacco rather than road tar or vehicle exh…

Pedestrians, Motorists, and No-Fault Compensation for Road Accidents in 1930s Britain
In 1930s Britain an average of almost 7000 road deaths and many more injuries were recorded each year. Most fatalities occurred among cyclists and pedestrians. In the course of the decade the Pedestrians’ Association pressed for the no-fault compensation of road accident victims other than motorists and their passengers. A bill, initially welcomed by ministers, passed the House of Lords but failed to progress further owing to last-minute governme…
Mad Dogs and Englishmen: Rabies in Britain, 1830-2000
Britain eradicated rabies (hydrophobia in its human form) in 1902. Even at its height rabies was of minimal statistical importance in terms of human mortality. At its peak, in 1877, it caused only 79 deaths. Between 1837 and 1899, when the last known death from the indigenous disease occurred in South Wales, it took as few as 1,225 lives—and some contemporaries regarded even this figure as exaggerated. Such numbers barely register in comparison w…
The Arrival, Spread and Impact of Myxomatosis in Scotland during the 1950s
Myxomatosis is a highly infectious disease of European wild rabbits. Discovered in the 1890s, it was introduced in Australia in 1950–1 and France in 1952 for the purpose of rabbit control. The French outbreak spread across much of Europe, including most of the United Kingdom. The first Scottish outbreak, started intentionally, occurred near Durris in July 1954. By the end of that year myxomatosis was widespread. Rabbits are not native to Scotland…

Myxomatosis in 1950s Britain
In 1953 myxomatosis, a viral disease of rabbits, broke out in Britain for the first time. It rapidly killed tens of millions of the animals from Kent to the Shetlands. Many farmers and foresters welcomed a disease that virtually eliminated a longstanding and serious agricultural pest. Others were horrified by the sight of thousands of dead and dying animals. With meat still rationed, consumers rued the loss of a cheap and nutritious foodstuff. Ro…

Irving John Selikoff and the Strange Case of the Missing Medical Degrees
Between the early 1960s and his death, Irving John Selikoff (1915-1992) was the dominant figure in the field of asbestos and health. He was particularly important in helping to establish a causal association between relatively low and spasmodic exposure to asbestos dust on the part of insulation workers and excess mortality rates. Through scientific and other activities, he played as large a part as anyone in destroying the American asbestos indu…

British Government Inspection, 1832–1875: Some Observations
Many historians now recognize that the establishment of central government inspection was of great importance in advancing mid-nineteenth-century social and administrative reform.

Parris, in many respects MacDonagh’s critic, acknowledges that inspectors ‘played a leading role in legislation, including the development of their own powers’.…

Beveridge, Workmen's Compensation and the Alternative Remedy
The passing of the Workmen's Compensation Act 1897 did not affect an injured worker's rights to sue for damages at common law or under the Employers' Liability Act 1880. However, the evidence suggests that these alternative remedies declined in importance until the 1930s when certain court decisions and acts of Parliament gave them renewed significance. For several reasons Beveridge was antipathetic towards unmodified retention of the alternative…
