Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bestselling history of medicine, enriched with a new foreword, concluding essay, and bibliographic essay. Erwin H. Ackerknecht’s A Short History of Medicine is a concise narrative, long appreciated by students in the history of medicine, medical students, historians, and medical professionals as well as all those seeking to understand the history of medicine. Covering the broad sweep of discoveries from parasitic worms to bacilli and x-rays, and highlighting physicians and scientists from Hippocrates and Galen to Pasteur, Koch, and Roentgen, Ackerknecht narrates Western and Eastern civilization’s work at identifying and curing disease. He follows these discoveries from the library to the bedside, hospital, and laboratory, illuminating how basic biological sciences interacted with clinical practice over time. But his story is more than one of laudable scientific and therapeutic achievement. Ackerknecht also points toward the social, ecological, economic, and political conditions that shape the incidence of disease. Improvements in health, Ackerknecht argues, depend on more than laboratory knowledge: they also require that we improve the lives of ordinary men and women by altering social conditions such as poverty and hunger. This revised and expanded edition includes a new foreword and concluding biographical essay by Charles E. Rosenberg, Ackerknecht’s former student and a distinguished historian of medicine. A new bibliographic essay by Lisa Haushofer explores recent scholarship in the history of medicine.

Book excerpt: "The Nation has lost sight of its public health goals and has allowed the system of public health to fall into 'disarray'," from The Future of Public Health. This startling book contains proposals for ensuring that public health service programs are efficient and effective enough to deal not only with the topics of today, but also with those of tomorrow. In addition, the authors make recommendations for core functions in public health assessment, policy development, and service assurances, and identify the level of government--federal, state, and local--at which these functions would best be handled.

Since then they have multiplied so steadily that, besides extensive State-hospitals for the iusane, there are found, in every large city of the Union and in almost all of our chief towns, institutions of this class for the treatment of disease, for the relief of infirmities, and for the proper care of wounds. It is to such curative establishments that the term " hospital" is usually restricted in this country, though in Great Britain, as in Europe generally, it is applied indiscriminately to nearly all charitable institutions. 1 The term "apothecary" is derived from the Greek airnOi/Kq, shop or storo. The keeper of a warehouse, or magazine, was formerly called an apothecary. During the early periods of history, physicians undoubtedly prepared their own medicines: but, in the progress of time, and the development of the sciences in every country, it seems to become necessary, or at least adds to the convenience of the physician, to intrust the preparation of medicine to the hands of persons skilled as apothecaries or pharmacists Galen had, in Rome, a drug-shop in the Via Sacra, which was destroyed by fire in the reign of Commodus, about A. D. If 1, when the Temple of Peace and other edifices were destroyed. The art of preparing medicines became a distinct branch in Alexandria, in Egypt, towards the beginning of the fourth century B. C, and to it some physicians devoted themselves. It continued as the employment of particular individuals, and thus the pursuit of the physician became separated from the art of the apothecary. Mantias, a pupil of Herophilus in Alexandria, is credited with being the anthor of the first pharmacopoeia. Heras, of Cappadocia, wrote a work on pharmacy, (B. C. 49.) Throughout...

This book was released on 1999-10-17 with total page 874 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize "A panoramic and perfectly magnificent intellectual history of medicine…This is the book that delivers it all." —Sherwin Nuland, author of How We Die Hailed as "a remarkable achievement" (Boston Globe) and as "a triumph: simultaneously entertaining and instructive, witty and thought-provoking…a splendid and thoroughly engrossing book" (Los Angeles Times), Roy Porter's charting of the history of medicine affords us an opportunity as never before to assess its culture and science and its costs and benefits to mankind. Porter explores medicine's evolution against the backdrop of the wider religious, scientific, philosophical, and political beliefs of the culture in which it develops, covering ground from the diseases of the hunter-gatherers to the more recent threats of AIDS and Ebola, from the clearly defined conviction of the Hippocratic oath to the muddy ethical dilemmas of modern-day medicine. Offering up a treasure trove of historical surprises along the way, this book "has instantly become the standard single-volume work in its field" (The Lancet).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contributions to the Annals of Medical Progress and Medical Education in the United States Before and During the War of Independence The difficulties attending a compilation from such scattered and varied sources prevented its completion in season for Vienna. Prepared dur ing the intervals of active professional work, it makes no claim to a methodical or exhaustive treatment of the subject; it however furnishes a mass of biographical and historical information now for the first time collected, which must make it a valuable contribution towards a history of the rise and progress of medical culture in this country, and most useful to other inquirers in the same field. Its brief biographies of the early medical practitioners Show how often the learned professions were united in the same learned man, who was at once physician, pastor, and teacher, and how medical science was at first traditional, the old practitioner instructing his one or two student-assistants in his own theories and methods and they in turn handing them down, with the added results of their own experience, to their successors.
