Abstract
About 125 years ago on February 20, 1848, one of the most important and most admirable studies in the history of social epidemiology was begun. Although much work has been done in the field of the relationships between social factors and health the study we are talking about here remains unique in its hypothesis, its realization and its conclusions.
