Disease Beset Indians After Whites Came
Washington report by J. G. Townsend and Joseph W. Mountin of the U S Public Health Service explains that infectious diseases arrived with white settlers and African slaves, spreading in Indian communities with little immunity. Measles and whooping cough hit Indians harder than whites, while heart, liver diseases, cancer, insanity, and nervous disorders were common. Infant mortality and tuberculosis were markedly higher, linked to poverty and substandard living conditions among Indians.
