Bates illuminates the present by re&ctbg on the past and also gives meaning to the past on its own terms. She makm dear the particular codgurations of social welfare, medid dens and human need in the late nineteenth and early twentieth cenruries that shaped the responses to tuberculosis. At the same time, without &wing explicit comparisons, she tempts readers to consider the parallels between mberdosis and AIDS.

For some the lure is a life on the cutting edge of scienrific research; for others it is rhe simple opportunity to do good; and, for a few, both are me. In sum, disease is about bargains. And while the particulars of any illness must be understmd in historid context, its mnsmndmt feam must also lx explored.
