Summary/Abstract: In 1807, the greatest health threats to soldiers and civilians resulted from the conducted war. That is why we notice increased incidence and mortality in the base of the fighting French and Polish armies in Pomerania. However, these were not threats on the scale seen before when dealing with plague outbreaks, and later, during cholera epidemics. Health threats mobilized the authorities and the medical community to act. The ordinances issued at that time and the organizational efforts undertaken were directed at both immediate disease control and prevention, as well as creating the foundations for future sanitary and health relations.
