Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Medical Aspects of Old Age The material in this small volume was collected in connexion with the Linacre Lecture at St. John's College, Cambridge, and has been somewhat expanded since its delivery on 6th May 1922. The introduction is chiefly of local interest in connexion with the history of the Linacre Lecture. Without attempting a complete account of old age and its diseases I have passed in review some ancient and modern medical aspects of this subject, but, except for incidental references, medical treatment has not been considered.

This book was released on 2018-05-28 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Age Its Care and Treatment in Health and Disease This question is quite proper to be asked as it implies no undue clinging to life or fear of death rather is it a natural and sane desire to wish to live so long as the body can duly perform its func tions, and it is a sound belief that this period may be prolonged by proper knowledge of the principles of health, and by due attention to them. These principles are discussed in the following pages, the first object of which is to teach how healthy old age may be attained. But in the second place, as old age is not immune from diseases, and as from disregard or ignorance of the principles of health, these are by no means few or unimportant, this book describes the diseases to which the aged are especially liable, points out how they are caused, by what means they may be avoided, and how they may be appropriately treated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geriatrics: The Diseases of Old Age and Their Treatment; Including Physiological Old Age, Home and Institutional Care, and Medico-Legal Relations The generous reception of the first edition by the medical profession is an encouraging indication that the field of geriatrics is not a barren waste, that with more wide-spread interest and more extended research it may become one of the most fruitful fields in the realm of medicine. Containing features new in thought and elaboration and views differing radically from existing views, it was expected that the work would be severely criticised. Reviewers, generally, have been gracious in their criticisms, pointing out errors and questioning opinions. The basic proposition that "Senility is a physiological entity analogous to childhood and not a pathological state of maturity," has been questioned on the grounds that there is no senile norm and no point at which we can fix the beginning of the senile state. All anatomical and physiological standards are based upon averages, drawn in some cases from widely separated normal limits. In childhood we fix standards year by year. We could, in the same manner, fix yearly norms in old age although the limits would be more widely separated as some age sooner than others. And just as we fix the limit of childhood at puberty, although the period of development continues until the third decade, we can fix the beginning of old age at the menopause and male critical period, although some organs begin to degenerate before this time. The basic proposition is being accepted by those who have given thought to the subject and who realize that in dealing with senile diseases the object must be to restore the organism to the normal senile state and not to the normal state of maturity. It is hardly necessary to justify the new classification of diseases. The ordinary classifications, based partly upon etiology, partly upon functions and physiological relations, partly upon anatomical position, partly upon the supposed nature of pathological states, is unscientific and irrational. The classification in this work is based upon the relation of the diseases to the senile processes. This can be elaborated by making subdivisions of the five groups. In this edition the third and fourth groups of the first edition have been transposed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Decline of Life in Health and Disease: Being an Attempt to Investigate the Causes of Longevity; And the Best Means of Attaining a Healthful Old Age The celebrated Heberden remarked, that the life of a physician should be like that of a vestal virgin, which was divided into three periods; in the first of which she learned her profession, in the second she practised it, and in the third she, also, taught it to others. I have certainly passed through the first and second of these periods: after several years employed in the study of my profession, I have spent thirty-five years in the practice of it, and, anxious to fulfil completely my vocation, I desire before I quit the stage to strike one blow for the good cause, to do something, however slight, to improve the sanatory condition of mankind, to alleviate pain, and oppose the influence of disease. I cannot hope, strictly speaking, "to teach my profession to others." 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 Road to a Healthy Old Age A Few years ago Messrs. H. K. Lewis and Co. were kind enough to publish for me a small book called "The Road to a Healthy Old Age." This has been so kindly received and reviewed that I have had the temerity to write a larger book on much the same subject, and to launch out still further on to the troubled seas of morals and medicine. These two should ever go hand in hand, for if their paths diverge, we soon go wrong, and our footsteps slide; but if they march forward together with the same goal in view, they should go far in the great fight to make the crooked straight and the rough places plain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Age Deferred: The Causes of Old Age and Its Postponement by Hygienic and Therapeutic Measures Whoever takes up this book with the idea that the aged can be transformed into sprightly adolescents will be disappointed. A work based entirely on evidence of a scientific nature, as is the present volume, cannot have such an end in view, since it is altogether unattainable - at least with what knowledge is now available. But while it is still impossible for us to create a young man out of an old one, it is quite Within the bounds of possibility, as we shall endeavor to demonstrate herein, to prolong our term of youthfulness by ten or twenty years. In other words we need no longer grow old at forty or fifty; we may live to the age of ninety or one hundred years, instead of dying at sixty or seventy. All this can be brought about by the observance of certain hygienic measures, and by improving the functions of a certain few of the glandular structures in our body, provided incurable organic disorders have not already too gravely compromised one or more of our main organs.

He did not write it himself. He dictated it. He influenced good men to write it. He caused a desire of writing to come over them, and they wrote, as we are impelled to write letters to kindred and dear friends, far away, by some vivid remem brance of them. Under such circumstances we may write what is not true; but holy men of old wrote as they were moved by the Almighty Mind, who could not have moved them to write one syllable which was not strictly true in all its bearings.
