Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book is a collection of abstracts on a range of topics published in medical journals over six months from the end of 1862 to the beginning of 1863. The collected entries in this volume range from the importance of ventilation and municipal sanitation as it relates to epidemics, to case studies on tetanus, cholera, smallpox, yellow fever, and diphtheria. Of particular interest is the detailed analysis of conditions at London hospitals which showed a clear correlation between the number of new patients added each year to the size of a hospital and its mortality rate, which suggested that hospitals were often overtaxed by new admissions and unable to provide proper care. Many of the entries in this volume continue to be relevant to medical practice today, demonstrating how much of our current medical knowledge has its roots in the 19th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
