Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book addresses the contagious and epidemic fevers which plagued Brescia, Italy, from the autumn of 1815 to the spring of 1817. Contagious and epidemic fevers were widespread at the time, often misdiagnosed and treated with excessive and inappropriate bloodletting, which led to countless deaths. The author was among the first to challenge this practice, asserting the origin of these fevers was due to contagion and not miasma. He describes in detail the pernicious symptoms of these fevers, rejecting the dominant theory that they were amenable to treatment by the then highly fashionable Peruvian bark, known as cinchona. Instead, the author's preferred method of treatment was bloodletting and other less drastic interventions. A fascinating and prescient work, this book challenges prevailing medical knowledge of the time about the nature and treatment of epidemics and fevers, reminding us of the ongoing struggle against the spread of infectious disease. 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.…
