About the author

Chicago (Ill.). Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium. Dispensary Department was not a single writer but the dispensary branch of the City of Chicago Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium, a public institution devoted to tuberculosis control. In Nurses' Papers on Tuberculosis (1914), the department is credited as the author of a collection of papers prepared for the nurses' study circle and published by the city.

The volume brings together work by nurses including Rosalind Mackay, Anna M. Drake, May MacConachie, Elsa Lund, and Frances M. Heinrich. As presented in the book, the department included a large staff of field nurses and focused on education, visiting nursing, and practical care for patients and families affected by tuberculosis.

Because this is an institutional author, there does not appear to be a single personal portrait to use as an author image. The name represents a municipal medical department and its nursing staff rather than one identifiable individual.
