In this paper, trachoma and blindness, leprosy, and parasitosis, which had been involved in the problems of public health in the early years of the Showa Era, were described. 1. Morbidity rate of trachoma in the beginning of Showa declined as compared with that in the Meiji and Taisho Era. There may be main factors of the declination of morbidity rate that emphasis was laid on the trachoma in physical examination for school children and conscriptee, that preventive measure against trachoma required small expense and that the mass examination for trachoma was simple and easy. Blindness was closely related with trachoma. 2. The goverment organization of the National Leprosarium was proclaimed in 1927 and Leprosy Prevention Law was widely revised in 1931. Since then prevention of leprosy have been made it a principle to isolate the patients in the National Leprosarium. 3. It appeared obvious in the beginning of the Showa Era that higher morbidity rate of parasitosis was 40%-60% in urban and 70%-80% in rural area. Parasitosis Prevention Law was proclaimed in 1931. However, the morbidity rate showed no decreasing tendency. Major countermeasures against parasitosis in those days were the stool examination for paraites, administration of anthelminthic, and popularization of new type of lavatory improved by the Ministry of Home Affaires.

本稿は, 開国後の来日宣教医および来日アメリカ人医師の第1号であるヘボンが本国に送った書簡を中心に, 彼が行った救療事業について述べたものである。ヘボンが行った救療事業は, キリスト教宣教の手段であった。ヘボンは1861年4月から9月までの神奈川宗興寺における6ヶ月間と, さらに1862年12月に横浜の居留地39番に居を移してから1879年春までの合計18年間, 救療事業を行った。ヘボンの書簡の中に記されている内容は幕末・維新期にかけてのわが国の民衆の疾病状況あるいはヘボン自身が行った手術などを詳細に知らせてくれる。ヘボンの行った救療事業は完全無料であり, 当時わが国に欠けていた社会事業を補完するものと考えてよい。
