Meet Your County Council: The West Riding of Yorkshire - [None]

Edition : 1st Edition
Binding : Soft
Condition : Very Good
pp80. Quarto. Printed card cover. An account of the council's functions, with photographs, diagrams etc. Fascinating in every way - most horrifying statistic, perhaps: 73 people died from syphilis in the West Riding in 1947, and the accompanying figures can be broken down to show that between 1 in 5 and 1 in 10 cases were fatal. No wonder the following year's NHS was welcomed.
