"The Health Master" by Samuel Hopkins Adams is a story set in the early 1900s that looks at the new ideas of the time in health and medicine. It tells the story of Dr. Strong, a forward-thinking doctor who believes that preventing sickness is more important than just treating it. When Mr. Clyde sees Dr. Strong help someone on a streetcar, he is impressed by the doctor's knowledge and decides to hire him to take care of his family's health using new methods. The book kicks off with the importance of keeping clean, avoiding illness, and recognizing that everyone is responsible for keeping the community healthy as the characters work together to face the problems that happen.
