Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hints for the Control and Prevention of Infectious Diseases in Camps, Transports, and Hospitals Spread of scarlatina had been tested in a case of that diseasewhich occurred from exposure of one of the soldiers who visited the infectious quarters of the Massachusetts regiment which we have mentioned. In this instance, the case of scarlatina was removed a short distance from the lines of the encampment the hour that the evidences of his disease appeared, and a rigid domestic quarantine of the sick man and his clothing was established. His nurse was the only other victim of the infection. After a detention of a few weeks, when these four regiments were sent forward to the field, the one last mentioned had its full quota of men; while the three others had only about two-thirds the number of soldiers who, a few weeks previously, had gone into their encampment in full health - except the single company in which the measles first appeared.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Infectious Diseases The publication of the Deutsche Klimt: at the beginning of the twentieth century corresponds to an epoch not only in the progress of time but also in the history of medicine. Time, as one of the editors of this great work has well said, moves on without regard to arbitrary divisions such as days, years or centuries and its progress is not measured by milestones. Human knowl edge advances in the same way. If there appear from time to time to be sud den bursts of improvement they will be found upon careful study of the facts to be the manifestations of previous forces acting quietly and progressively just as the orderly succession of the seasons is the result of unnoted but irresistible and continuously acting cosmic energy. Long periods of patient research precede the great discoveries in medicine and broad generalizations rest upon many carefully studied facts. The great events of medical history by which we mark its general progress bear a sort of analogy to the divisions by which we chronicle the passing of the ages. They are the dates of knowledge. The later years of the nineteenth and the opening of the twentieth cen tury constitute one of the most brilliant and impressive of these epochs. To celebrate it important scientific publications, especially in medicine, have been issued in several languages. It is no disparagement of others to say that the Deutsche Klinik, the sum of the collective labor of the Master Minds of Medicine in Germany, stands, as a summary of existing knowledge and as a permanent record of the medical science of our times, in the foremost rank. Those to Whom this work is known in the original will welcome it in its English garb and convenient arrangement. Those to whom it first comes in the translation will find it not only the literary embodiment of the most advanced science but also in a surprising degree adapted to the everyday needs of the practitioner, the student and the teacher.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sources and Modes of Infection We need to measure more carefully the relative importance of different sources of disease and different modes of infec tion. It is not so important to know that typhoid bacilli live in water for weeks, as it is to know that 99 per cent die in one week. It is not enough to discover that diphtheria bacilli can be recovered from articles in the sick-room; we must learn how often they are found and how often disease is traced to such a source. We have for years been much alarmed because tubercle bacilli are found in milk, but since a serious effort has been made to measure the actual danger, the alarm has greatly diminished. Doubtless the house ﬂy has been the cause of typhoid fever, but in what percentage of cases we are profoundly ignorant. Healthy carriers of diphtheria have certainly transmitted the disease to others, and we should earnestly try to determine the amount of diphtheria caused in this way. The attempt is made in the following pages to estimate roughly, with the very imperfect material now available, the relative importance of different factors in the extension of infectious diseases. The conclu sions must to a large extent be merely tentative, and as indicating lines for further study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Treatment of Acute Infectious Diseases To the layman the word "physician" connotes a therapeutist; one whose professional end and aim it is to cure the sick. If he thinks of the physician at all as a student of the science of medicine or as a diagnostician it is only in the sense that he is busied with matters that shall lead to the prevention, cure or alleviation of disease; and yet every practitioner of medicine, seeking assistance in the exercise of his art, feels the disproportion of the much that is offered him of the cause, the course and the consequences of disease and the little that is afforded of the practical application of this knowledge to its legitimate uses, getting the sick man well. As a teacher of therapeutics I have always felt that this branch of medicine has been unduly neglected both in the college curriculum and in the text-book. With the text-book my experience has been that it either speaks in generalities assuming knowledge on the part of the student or physician, when such an assumption should annul its very reason for being, or it catalogues and compiles endless measures and procedures without effort to exercise a judgment of their relative values. The few exceptions to this statement make themselves conspicuous. Successfully or not, it has been the attempt of the author to avoid these extremes of error. Each chapter has been made to deal with an individual disease in a thoroughly practical manner; each little detail of procedure being explained so that the reader may actually apply it. Moreover, the reason for the procedure, as based on our latest information, both with respect to physical therapy and drugs, the author has sought to give. Constant and confusing reference to the literature has been avoided, but an effort to give due credit has been made. The book, finally, must be looked on as an expression of the author's individual opinion and will he didactic rather than critical. A summary at the end of each chapter is designed to add to its usefulness as a ready reference for the busy practitioner and as a review to the student.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Sanitary Science and the Public Health: With Special Reference to the Causation and Prevention of Infectious Diseases The last quarter of the century has witnessed the firm establishment and fruitful development of these several conceptions. The principal theories to which they have given birth have been thoroughly tested, and stand to-day for the most part as accepted scientific principles; while their applications to the practical conduct of life have everywhere been followed by results of extraordinary in terest and importance. Public hygiene and state medicine have become subjects compelling the attention of states men and affecting the welfare of nations. Sanitary law has been endowed with unusual privileges and powers, and sanitary regulations controlling the commerce of the civilized world are debated in international congresses. Sanitary science and preventive medicine, terms practically unknown before this century, have become almost house hold words. Sanitary arts of great range and importance have grown up; vast sums are annually spent for private, and especially for public, sanitation; and human life has been made safer, longer and probably happier.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Infectious Diseases: A Practical d104book To discuss bacteriology in relation to the infectious diseases, or to attempt to give any descriptive account of the processes connected with immunity, would be quite foreign to the purposes of a book which concerns itself with the actual state of health of the infected individual. Every student of to-day has ample Opportunity Of acquiring during his curriculum the main elementary facts connected with both subjects, and the latter in particular, with its complicated experiments and its chaotic terminology, does not lend itself satisfactorily to. Condensation. It has been proved that many of the diseases to be discussed in the following pages are due to the invasion of the human organism by specific bacteria. It is reasonable to assume that the others, whose etiology still remains Obscure, will be found to depend on a similar cause. The infecting micro-organism, however, need not necessarily be a bacterium. Microscopic animal parasites have been proved to be responsible for malaria, and some observers hold that both small-pox and scarlet fever are probably the results of protozoal infection. The spirillum of relapsing fever is also held to be of this nature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Typhoid Fever: Its Causation, Transmission and Prevention Few people, according to vital statistics, die of old age; almost every one dies of disease; and when your turn and mine shall come to shuffle off this mortal coil, we shall have the unwelcome and involuntary lot of more than two hundred different diseases. The human body is a machine. Occasionally it is put together wrong; the various parts do not work in harmony. More often the machine is improperly operated; it is driven too fast, or it is given too much fuel, or not enough. Derangements due to these internal causes are termed "constitutional" and "local" diseases. There is another group of diseases which attack the body from without. They are the infectious diseases, or contagious diseases, parasitic diseases, zymotic diseases, as they are variously called. Alike in the fact that they are all caused by living organisms, they differ in many ways. The organisms themselves are different. Each has an individuality of its own, which the bacteriologist has come to recognize and to understand. There are differences in biological character, in habitat, in mode of development, in means of transmission, in the manner of attacking the body, in virulence, in longevity, in powers of resistance against remedial measures.
