This book is a comprehensive examination of the emerging field of the study of consumption, otherwise known as tuberculosis, written in the late 19th century. Tuberculosis is a contagious disease, and author's main focus is to educate the public on the ways in which it can be contracted and prevented. A study of the progression and actions of the bacteria which cause tuberculosis, this book contextualizes this disease among other communicable diseases, describing shared and unique symptoms. Thematic depth is achieved by balancing technical medical discussion with accessible language that patients and their families can understand to better support sufferers. The insights offered in this book are significant as a deeper understanding of the disease's actions in the body leads to more effective treatment and preventative measures.
