Download or read book Disease Medicine and Society in England 1550 1860 written by Roy Porter and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-09-14 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his short but authoritative study, Roy Porter examines the impact of disease upon the English and their responses to it before the widespread availability and public provision of medical care. Professor Porter incorporates into the revised second edition new perspectives offered by recent research into provincial medical history, the history of childbirth, and women's studies in the social history of medicine. He begins by sketching a picture of the threats posed by disease to population levels and social continuity from Tudor times to the Industrial Revolution, going on to consider the nature and development of the medical profession, attitudes to doctors and disease, and the growing commitment of the state to public health. Drawing together a wide range of often fragmentary material, and providing a detailed annotated bibliography, this book is an important guide to the history of medicine and to English social history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely acclaimed when first published, this lively social history of Hogarth's England went into a second edition with a new preface and updated notes and guide to further reading. 'This panorama of eighteenth-century English life ...Methodists and melancholia, village cricketers versified to glory and homosexuals pilloried to death, he has an eye and a word for everything in the pullulating scene.' THE SUNDAY TIMES 'Social history is ever flourishing, but the number of really original contributions is relatively small. Mr. Jarrett's book is one of this number; he is an historian of established reputation in general history who sets out to describe the eighteenth-century scene from his own examination of original sources.' ECONOMIST 'Jarrett's comprehensive learning, his graceful style, and his instinct for the telling detail make this an excellent book to dip into, to read in installments and to keep for reference.'NEW YORKER 'Jarrett digs deep into the diaries, letters, memoirs of the period, gives anecdote and incident as a counterpoint to the illustrations, examines the age's attitude toward children and education, the role of women, marriage, pleasures, politics, life and death ...A brilliant study.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1987. Even as the professionalism of medicine progressed, many sufferers continued to rely on what would now be termed "fringe" practitioners - quacks, backstreet surgeons, bone-setters, Thomsonian botanists, holists and naturalists. Many types of fringe medicine were popular in particular circles or reflected the political or religious preoccupations of their practitioners. Anti-establishment radicals might favour natural medicine, Christian Scientists would reject the medical aid, "Physical Puritans" would concentrate on homeopathy, hydropathy and vegetarianism to create health rather than counter disease. Some diseases, particularly venereal ones, allowed practitioners to play unscrupulously on the guilt of their patients. The end of the period saw professionalism establish itself in many areas, for example with the foundation in 1852 of the Pharmaceutical Society, and conflicts of fringe and orthodoxy became the fiercer. The essays collected in this volume all present new research on this fascinating and diverse period in the history of medicine.

Excerpt: ...he got quite well, and several years afterwards came into the hospital for another malady, but without any recurrence of the dropsy. Both these cases exhibited, to a remarkable extent, a sign to which I have already alluded as not unfrequently present in peritoneal dropsy--namely, a dilated and tortuous condition of the superficial epigastric veins. This venous enlargement is probably compensatory, and serves to open up a new and enlarged channel for the blood which cannot be returned through the hepatic circulation. Hence I am disposed to regard great enlargement of these veins as a favorable sign; and I should be more inclined to tap where that enlargement exists than where the veins remained small. Tapping may be performed with better prospect of success when the liver is enlarged than when it is contracted; and it affords least prospect of benefit when the obstructing cause to the venous circulation is extrinsic to the liver, as when it consists of a tumor, or of chronic peritoneal disease. Upon the whole, the conclusion at which I have arrived is, that tapping, though a remedy not lightly to be adopted, is one not lightly to be rejected; and although in the majority of cases it does not result in an ultimate cure, yet it is not to be regarded as affording no hope, but, indeed, often tends to prolong life. LECTURE XI. On Ascites. Gentlemen: As there is now in the hospital (March, 1853), a case of great interest for the purpose of clinical analysis in connection with the subject of dropsy, and especially of abdominal dropsy, and as the patient has within the last few days been subjected to the operation of tapping, of the issue of which we are as yet uncertain, I will avail myself of this opportunity of calling your attention to the...

Book excerpt: Beyond the intriguing questions of why a semi-retired sea captain should want to establish a home for abandoned infants, and why it took him seventeen years to do so, the story of the Founding Hospital itself is well worth telling. For it is a story that touches upon many aspects of eighteenth-century social history: morals and manners, music and medicine, economics and education, clothing and cuisine, politics and poverty, art and architecture, the apprenticing of children and the role of women.
