Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Report of an Investigation Into the Causes of the Diseases Known in Assam as Kala-Azar and Beri-Beri Wernick wrote a paper on the Japanese variety Of 6677-6677, which, as I gather from Pekelharing, was devoted to proving 6677-6677 to be a pernicious anaemia. Pekelharing devotes several pages to demolishing this view, pointing out that anae mia is by no means a necessary, or even common, symptom of 6677-6677 (as he had seen it), never apparently suspecting that he and Wernick may have been observing two entirely distinct diseases, and that their differences might be accounted for by the dissimilarity of what they had to Observe rather than to errors of observation on either side. Now, pernicious anaemia is, clinically, by far the most. Salient symptom Of anchylostomiasis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traces the decades of medical & chemical research that solved the puzzle posed by beriberi, a mysterious disease that is caused by the lack of a minute quantity of the chemical thiamin, or vitamin B1, in the diet. Western doctors working in Asia after 1870 saw it as the major disease among those who ate white rice, while people eating brown rice, where the grain still contained its bran & germ, remained healthy. Research finally enabled the synthesis of thiaminÓ, which is now used to enrich white rice & flour in most advanced countries, but not in poorer countries where the disease has been endemic. A fascinating chronicle of a history that encompasses public health, science, diet, trade, expanding empires, war, & technology.Ó Illustrated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive account of the history and treatment of beriberi, Kenneth Carpenter traces the decades of medical and chemical research that solved the puzzle posed by this mysterious disease. Caused by the lack of a minute quantity of the chemical thiamin, or vitamin B1 in the diet, beriberi is characterized by weakness and loss of feeling in the feet and legs, then swelling from fluid retention, and finally heart failure. Western doctors working in Asia after 1870 saw it as the major disease in native armed forces and prisons. It was at first attributed to miasms (poisonous vapors from damp soil) or to bacterial infections. In Java, chickens fed by chance on white rice lost the use of their legs. On brown rice, where the grain still contained its bran and germ, they remained healthy. Studies in Javanese prisons then showed beriberi also occurring where white (rather than brown) rice was the staple food. Birds were used to assay the potency of fractions extracted from rice bran and, after 20 years, highly active crystals were obtained. In another 10 years their structure was determined and "thiamin" was synthesized. Beriberi is a story of contested knowledge and erratic scientific pathways. It offers a fascinating chronicle of the development of scientific thought, a history that encompasses public health, science, diet, trade, expanding empires, war, and technology. From the preface: This is a medical detective story: beginning with the investigation of a disease that has killed or crippled at least a million people, and then following up clues that ranged much wider. One outcome was the production of a synthetic chemical that we now, nearly all of us, consume in small quantities each day in our food. The detectives had a variety of professions and spoke different languages. Their work ranged from studying the health of laborers in a primitive jungle to the painstaking dissection of individual grains of rice under a microscope. The integrated story of their struggles and successes, culled from old volumes in scattered libraries, forms the subject of this book.

Excerpt: ...The ghee has lately been increased from to 1 ounce daily. Potatoes, 12 tolas--i.e., 4$ ounces--have been given twice a week in lieu of other vegetables.' The proportion of rice in the recruits' dietary was by thesemeasures considerably lowered, although in all probability it was to the change in the sort of rice--from the inferior kutcha to the better cured stuff--that the rapid dwindling of the epidemy which followed these measures was mostly due. Further worth noting, as opposing hypothetical, infective, or miasmatic sources of beri-beri is Colonel Leapingwell's statement that 'the recruits occupy separate huts, two men for each hut, distributed through the different companies. They mess in the recruits' mess separately from the other Sepoys.' In the next two years very few cases occurred at Vizianagram. Captain R. Bryson, who in 1901 identified the disease as identical with beri-beri he had seen in China, noted that n cases admitted to hospital for 'oedema' were probably beri-beric, and that a similar number had been so described in 1900. Four cases whom he himself treated in 1901, were all fed in the recruits' mess. 'It was suggested by my predecessor that the rice should be obtained from elsewhere, but this was found not practicable.' A ' second' sort of rice was used. In reference to the epidemy in the detachment at Trincomalee, Lieutenant-Colonel R. A. Quill wrote that ' the barracks occupied by the detachment are ideally constructed and situated buildings. Heretofore they have been invariably occupied by European troops, among whom no case of beri-beri has ever been reported. There is no overcrowding, nor any insalubrity which can be detected.' The diet of the men at that time at Trincomalee was: No more beri-beri was reported. At...
