dc.description.abstractAt the start of the yellow fever epidemic of 1793 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the first public health doctrines were being formulated into proper legal documents as the city struggled to stem the outbreak. This paper argues that the origins of discriminatory rhetoric in public health can be traced back to the racist ideas of Matthew Carey and Benjamin Rush.en_US
