Abstract
The author discusses the articulation of sanitarian ideas (1910-1930) with Brazilian social thought from the same period. Propagandists for the public health movement labored to wage campaigns of almost missionary fervor against endemic disease in the backlands. At the same time, a stream well-known to the national social imagination encountered the very ballast of nationality in the hinterlands and backwoods regions of Brazil. These two systems of ideas contributed to the formation of a reformist current in the National Congress and also to the formulation of a public health policy on the part of the State machinery during the First Republic. The author examines the social, political and institutional bases for sanitarian thinking and suggests hypotheses to account for the political deflation of the sanitarian movement in the period after the Revolution of 1930.
