The purpose of this article is to highlight the significance of a book and a social medicine movement, both of which appear to be almost unrecognized outside of German-speaking countries. The book is Krankheit und Soziale Lage (Illness and Social Position). It was edited by Max Mosse and Gustav Tugendreich and was first published in 1913. (A new edition was published in 1977 by Jürgen Cromm and page numbers here refer to the third reprint of 1994.)1 In order to put in context the book and the movement from which it emerged, the historical background is discussed, but there is no intention to provide a thorough historical analysis of developments in this period. After consideration of the purpose of the book, the chapter on tuberculosis is discussed in detail, and finally reference is made to the contribution of eugenic ideas to social medicine at this time.
