Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this informed and entertaining essay, John H. Ellis describes the efforts of physicians and laymen to keep illness at bay during Kentucky's first 200 years. Medicine in Kentucky is part of the Kentucky Bicentennial Bookshelf, "a celebration of two centuries of the history and culture of The Commonwealth." John H. Ellis outlines the practice and development of medicine in Kentucky from the state of medical practices during the colonial era and the paucity of trained practitioners, to the frontier doctors of the early days of Westward expansion, to the founding of the first medical school chartered in the West, Transylvania University. Ellis also details some of the commonly encountered diseases, the various types of practitioners (allopaths, herb doctors, Thomsonians, and homeopaths), and the various, generally short-lived publications and medical societies of nineteenth century Kentucky. He highlights two native Kentuckians, Joseph Nathaniel McCormack, principal architect of the current structure of the AMA, and Abraham Flexner, whose "Medical Education in the United States and Canada" is one of the great landmarks in the field, whether one feels that he laid the foundation for modern scientific medical education or merely set in concrete nineteenth century scientism as the basis for medical education. Although dealing principally with Kentucky medicine, it reflects also on the happenings in medicine across the country.

B. Marshall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-10 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introductory Lecture Before the Medical Class of the Kentucky School of Medicine, on the Truth of Medicine as Evinced by Its Origin, Progress and Present Condition But even through the period referred to medicine did not retrograde, nor yet stand still. The Asclepiadoc were far above the generality of their time, in education and intelligence, and could not avoid obtaining some medical information and acumen from the experience afforded by the vast number of patients who consulted them; and we find, therefore, that when public opinion forced a change in the system of secresy, which was rigidly oh served in regard to the mysteries pertaining to their religious worship and practice of physio, that the science had'made considerable progress. In the then existing state of the world and society, theconfinement of the practice of medicine to the temples was most propitious forthe science, and greater progress was made there, and less of absurdity and error accumu lated upon the truth, than if it had been open and common to the public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kentucky Encyclopedia's 2,000-plus entries are the work of more than five hundred writers. Their subjects reflect all areas of the commonwealth and span the time from prehistoric settlement to today's headlines, recording Kentuckians' achievements in art, architecture, business, education, politics, religion, science, and sports. Biographical sketches portray all of Kentucky's governors and U.S. senators, as well as note congressmen and state and local politicians. Kentucky's impact on the national scene is registered in the lives of such figures as Carry Nation, Henry Clay, Louis Brandeis, and Alben Barkley. The commonwealth's high range from writers Harriette Arnow and Jesse Stuart, reformers Laura Clay and Mary Breckinridge, and civil rights leaders Whitney Young, Jr., and Georgia Powers, to sports figures Muhammad Ali and Adolph Rupp and entertainers Loretta Lynn, Merle Travis, and the Everly Brothers. Entries describe each county and county seat and each community with a population above 2,500. Broad overview articles examine such topics as agriculture, segregation, transportation, literature, and folklife. Frequently misunderstood aspects of Kentucky's history and culture are clarified and popular misconceptions corrected. The facts on such subjects as mint juleps, Fort Knox, Boone's coonskin cap, the Kentucky hot brown, and Morgan's Raiders will settle many an argument. For both the researcher and the more casual reader, this collection of facts and fancies about Kentucky and Kentuckians will be an invaluable resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the many books written over the past century about the Old South and the American Civil War, a very few explore the scientific history of the South or the medical history of the war itself. In the first volume of this impressive biography of Joseph Jones, Mr. Breeden does much to illuminate the development of scientific thought and of medicine in the nineteenth-century South. Jones was far in advance of most of his fellow physicians. The thoroughness of his research, the tenacity of his effort, and the brilliance of his findings won him respect while he was still a very young scholar. When the war came, he showed himself fiercely patriotic as a soldier but coldly empirical as a scientific investigator of many infectious diseases. In the course of the biography the author illumines the development of modern medicine in this country and the state of the nation's medical schools in the middle of the nineteenth century. The greater part of this volume is devoted to Jones's wartime service, which was mainly behind the battle lines in the hospitals and prison camps. The growth of the problem of gangrene among the wounded—a horrifying result of overcrowding and lack of sanitation—is examined in particularly telling detail; the ravaging of the Andersonville prison camp by this and other diseases was the subject of some of Jones's most controversial research, and his written report as a reluctant witness in the trial of the Southerners held responsible. At the outset of the war, Joseph Jones was an energetic and well trained young doctor with considerable experience in teaching and research; by its end he was perhaps the foremost expert on infectious diseases in the South or in the nation.

This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introductory Lecture Delivered at the Opening of the Kentucky School of Medicine As to the effect upon the medical profession, it is a capital error to assert, that the rapid multiplication of Medical Colle ges is the cause of the great increase of the number of Medi cal Students. The reverse is the fact. The astonishing growth of the population, and the consequent demand for Physicians, with the success which attends the larger number of those who engage in practice, are the chief reasons why so many young men crowd the halls of medical instruction. There is no more respectable and esteemed member of a community, than an eminent Physician or Surgeon; and it is not surprising that the dignity and importance of his character, should fasci nate the youth of our country. Additional Medical Schools, then, are founded, because of the overflowing current setting towards those now in operation. This being the state of the' case, the question to be decided is, whether one set of gentlemen in a particular locality shall receive all the honor and profit accruing from teaching medi cine. Or whether another set, equally deserving, and fully as competent to instruct, shall' be permitted to participate in these emoluments. It is obviously for the interest of both the general community, and the medical profession, that free competition should be tolerated in this as in every other branch of business; and that such is the prevailing opinion is manifest, from the annual granting of acts of incorporation by the Legislatures of the different States of our Union.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address Before the Boyle County Medical Society of the State of Kentucky: At Its Third Anniversary Meeting Held at Danville, Kentucky, January 5, 1869 The plain truth is, that those who intrust themselves to our care, have the right to require of us a knowledge of our profession fully up to the advances of the day, and for the lack of the possession of such knowledge, ih volving human life and health as it does, we stand re sponsible before God and in the presence of the law. Ours is not an exact science, but is making regular and rapid progress toward a position in which it may be ranked with the fixed sciences. While this rapid march continues, to cease to advance is to retrograde, and the day the practitioner of medicine ceases to be a student.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introductory Lecture Addressed to the Class of the Kentucky School of Medicine: Session 1853-54 If as Cicero declares, true glory is the renown which arises from many and important services to one's friends or country, or the whole human race, no one has more or better opportuni ties than the physician, of encircling his brow with its bright est halo. In the exercise of an art which must from its very nature, bring you into relations of the closest intimacy with all descriptions of persons, you cannot fail to form friend ships, based upon congeniality of tastes and accordance of men tal and moral constitution, such friendships as standeth Srif fly in storms, and which, if properly cherished, will afford abundant opportunities of securing whatever of person al gratification or worldly renown may spring frdm many and important services to friends. The vulgar notion that daily familiarity with sickness, sorrow and death, tends to harden the feelings of physicians, and divest them of the more delicate sensibilities, and sympathies of our common human ty is utterly fallacious. It is true. They learn to suppress their feelings and to sustain, in the language of the Poet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
