"The Health Master" by Samuel Hopkins Adams is a health-related narrative written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the character Dr. Strong, who embodies a modern approach to medical practice, emphasizing prevention and public health education in his unique role as a household health guardian for Mr. Thomas Clyde’s family. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Mr. Clyde as he travels on a streetcar and witnesses a commotion involving a man who appears unwell. This incident draws the attention of Dr. Strong, a striking figure whose intervention reveals a deeper understanding of health than those around him possess. Their subsequent conversation lays the foundation for Mr. Clyde’s decision to hire Dr. Strong to oversee the health of his family using a prevention model inspired by principles derived from the "Chinese plan." The opening chapters establish a clear focus on the importance of hygiene, disease prevention, and the social responsibility each individual holds towards public health, while exploring the dynamic between the characters as they navigate health-related challenges together.
