Halliday Sutherland

Halliday Gibson Sutherland was a Scottish medical doctor, writer, public-health pioneer, and outspoken critic of eugenics and neo-Malthusian population theory. Trained at the University of Edinburgh, he became known for his early work in tuberculosis prevention and treatment, including producing The Story of John M’Neil (1911), which is considered to be Britain’s first public-health education film. Sutherland’s medical career included running tuberculosis dispensaries, developing open-air treatment programmes for children, and publishing widely on public health. One of his books with the venerable Catholic publishing house Sheed & Ward was banned in Ireland, which increased its popularity everywhere.
