Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Hydropathy (Not the Cold-Water System): Including Plans of Baths and Remarks on Diet, Clothing, and Habits of Life A patient came to us early this year who, for a swelling in one of the glands under the ear had had blisters, then incisions, destroying the action of the gland, then excruciating caustic applications, until a cancer was formed of five to six inches in diameter. We have prolonged his life, and given ease, .but I see no hope of saving his life. The Prince Consort was quickly poisoned; the Prince of Wales has escaped, with long and terrible suffering, by his youth and strength the Earl of Chesterfield, at the age of forty, quickly sunk under the same disease, and the young Marquis Graham of a simple in ammation of the bowels. The brother of an, eminent baronet came to me three to four years since for disease of the heart from under the first medical men of the day, who gave him no hope of life; and indeed, he was very near death, not from any disease of the heart, but from the effects of drugs given to quiet the heart's action. I could assure him of quick cure, and in six weeks he left us, thoroughly well, and has, although, as he told me since, been more pressed with cares and anxieties than for many years, remained perfectly well and gained half a stone weight. Yet, as in the former case, his brother, the baronet, a perfectly healthy man, for some slight general derangement of the system put himself confidently in the m.d.'s hands, and has lingered out a miserable existence of three years, when death closed the doctor's account and the baronet's delusion. People have only to make observations amongst their relatives and friends and see that what I state is true. The last case I have heard of is Mr. Platt, the m.p. For Oldham, dead from no organic diseases Travelling in France, feeling unwell, sent for the M.D., whose nostrums soon finished his career. Surely the time will come when mankind will observe and act on their own reason. Another case I name in this book. A ax manufacturer had by enterprise and great industry, accumulated a handsome fortune at the age of fifty-four, and retired from business to enjoy the fruits of his labour, after having escaped the perils of changes in trade and monetary panics. But there was a danger to the frustrating of all his plans for a quiet enjoyable conclusion of life he had no idea of, and that was the very source he looked to for cen tinning life, but which proved his destruction. He went one day to a public dinner, ate of viands made to gratify the palate, not to support life. In the night, at two a.m., awoke with violent sickness; sent for his doctor, who, having no common-sense specific to relieve the burdened stomach, gave arsenic to stop the sickness, which was a natural effort of the organ to expel the indigestible matter. The arsenic stopped the sickness, but laid the foundation of cancer of the stomach, of which he died a year after his seizure. He came in his extremity to me, but after a week's trial I gave up the case, and sent him home to die a distressing death.

Download or read book The Burdens of Disease written by J. N. Hays and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of the original edition of The Burdens of Disease that appeared in ISIS stated, "Hays has written a remarkable book. He too has a message: That epidemics are primarily dependent on poverty and that the West has consistently refused to accept this." This revised edition confirms the book's timely value and provides a sweeping approach to the history of disease. In this updated volume, with revisions and additions to the original content, including the evolution of drug-resistant diseases and expanded coverage of HIV/AIDS, along with recent data on mortality figures and other relevant statistics, J. N. Hays chronicles perceptions and responses to plague and pestilence over two thousand years of western history. Disease is framed as a multidimensional construct, situated at the intersection of history, politics, culture, and medicine, and rooted in mentalities and social relations as much as in biological conditions of pathology. This revised edition of The Burdens of Disease also studies the victims of epidemics, paying close attention to the relationships among poverty, power, and disease.
Download or read book The History of the London Water Industry 1580 1820 written by Leslie Tomory and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did pre-industrial London build the biggest water supply industry on earth? Beginning in 1580, a number of competing London companies sold water directly to consumers through a large network of wooden mains in the expanding metropolis. This new water industry flourished throughout the 1600s, eventually expanding to serve tens of thousands of homes. By the late eighteenth century, more than 80 percent of the city’s houses had water connections—making London the best-served metropolis in the world while demonstrating that it was legally, commercially, and technologically possible to run an infrastructure network within the largest city on earth. In this richly detailed book, historian Leslie Tomory shows how new technologies imported from the Continent, including waterwheel-driven piston pumps, spurred the rapid growth of London’s water industry. The business was further sustained by an explosion in consumer demand, particularly in the city’s wealthy West End. Meanwhile, several key local innovations reshaped the industry by enlarging the size of the supply network. By 1800, the success of London’s water industry made it a model for other cities in Europe and beyond as they began to build their own water networks. The city’s water infrastructure even inspired builders of other large-scale urban projects, including gas and sewage supply networks. The History of the London Water Industry, 1580–1820 explores the technological, cultural, and mercantile factors that created and sustained this remarkable industry. Tomory examines how the joint-stock form became popular with water companies, providing a stable legal structure that allowed for expansion. He also explains how the roots of the London water industry’s divergence from the Continent and even from other British cities was rooted both in the size of London as a market and in the late seventeenth-century consumer revolution. This fascinating and unique study of essential utilities in the early modern period will interest business historians and historians of science and technology alike.

Download or read book Chartism written by Malcolm Chase and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chartism, the mass movement for democratic rights, dominated British domestic politics in the late 1830s and 1840s. It mobilised over three million supporters at its height. Few modern European social movements, certainly in Britain, have captured the attention of posterity to quite the extent it has done. Encompassing moments of great drama, it is one of the very rare points in British history where it is legitimate to speculate how close the country came to revolution. It is also pivotal to debates around continuity and change in Victorian Britain, gender, language and identity. Chartism: A New History is the only book to offer in-depth coverage of the entire chronological spread (1838-58) of this pivotal movement and to consider its rich and varied history in full. Based throughout on original research (including newly discovered material) this is a vivid and compelling narrative of a movement which mobilised three million people at its height. The author deftly intertwines analysis and narrative, interspersing his chapters with short ‘Chartist Lives’, relating the intimate and personal to the realm of the social and political. This book will become essential reading for anyone with an interest in early Victorian Britain, specialists, students and general readers alike.

Download or read book The Life of Mary Baker G Eddy and the History of Christian Science written by Willa Cather and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This controversial biography of the founder of the Christian Science church was serialized in McClure's Magazine in 1907-8 and published as a book the next year. It disappeared almost overnight and has been difficult to find ever since. Although a Canadian mewspaperwoman named Georgine Milmine collected the material and was credited as the author, The Life Of Mary Baker G. Eddy was actually written by Willa Cather, an editor at McClure's at that time. In his introduction to this Bison Book edition, David Stouck reveals new evidence of Cather's authorship of The Life of Mary Baker G. Eddy. He discusses her fidelity to facts and her concern with psychology and philosophy that would take creative form later on. Indeed, this biography contains "some of the finest portrait sketches and reflections on human nature that Willa Cather would ever write."
