Book excerpt: Excerpt from Statistics of Mortality From Pulmonary Phthisis in the United States and in Europe: Compiled From Official Health Reports and From Data Obtained From Life Insurance Companies In how great a measure the want of this understanding is felt by all who have the public welfare in this respect at heart, may be seen from the numerous efforts, not alone of private corporations, but also of City and State author ities. Throughout the whole country we observe great efi'orts made to establish ofiices for keeping records of vital statistics, in order to investigate the cause and spread of disease, and to discover as well as mitigate those evil in fluences that enhance its progress. The greater share in this highly commendable undertaking may justly be claimed by the Boards of Health in various cities of the Union, whose reports are published with an accuracy and minuteness of detail worthy of all praise and approbation. Next in order, the State Boards of Health have deserved great credit for discovering and removing many hotbeds of disease. In collecting information for these pages, Ihave furthermore met with frequent intimations' from various cities that a Board of Health is about to be organ ised. All these efforts only serve to illustrate the growing conviction of the vast importance of these objects.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Statistics of Mortality From Pulmonary Phthisis in the United States and in Europe Of all causes of mortality, -pulmonary Phthisis takes the most prominent place, and hence an especial study as to its distribution cannot, fail to be of interest. The most prominent professors of our science have given the study of the phases and character of this disease their careful attention. As far as I am acquainted, no effort has been made to make a uniform statistical compilation of the mortality from Phthisis in different cities of the United States, and the desire of obtaining as correct a view of these facts as possible has induced me to venture upon the present task. Although the second volume of the United States Census for 1870 contains, among other highly in teresting data, very concise statements of the death rate and' cause of mortality throughout the Union, yet these tables only refer to entire States, not to cities, coun ties, or smaller political divisions. We are furthermore justified in assuming that the mortality indicated in the Census does not correspond with the actual death-rate, as indeed we may learn from the remarks preceding the respective tables. The difference resulting from this mode of calculation has been shown by E. B. Elliott, Chief Clerk of the Bureau of Statistics of the Treasury Department, to amount to 41 per and the result of my studies is quite in accordance with this statement, as will be more fully shown in Table I. The value of the statistics of the United States Census arises, as the Superintendent, F. A. Walker, most appropriately says, from the consideration that its tables distribute a body of deaths approaching half a million, among the several periods of life, between the two sexes, according to cause and month of death, by race, nationality, and occupation. The reasons which prompted me to include the life insurance companies in these statis tics will be explained hereafter.

Download or read book Diseases in the District of Maine 1772 1820 written by Richard J. Kahn and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeremiah Barker practiced medicine in rural Maine up until his retirement in 1818. Throughout his practice of fifty years, he documented his constant efforts to keep up with and contribute to the medical literature in a changing medical landscape, as practice and authority shifted from historical to scientific methods. He performed experiments and autopsies, became interested in the new chemistry of Lavoisier, risked scorn in his use of alkaline remedies, studied epidemic fever and approaches to bloodletting, and struggled to understand epidemic fever, childbed fever, cancer, public health, consumption, mental illness, and the "dangers of spirituous liquors." Dr. Barker intended to publish his Diseases in the District of Maine 1772-1820 by subscription - advance pledges to purchase the published volume - but for reasons that remain uncertain, that never happened. For the first time, Barker's never before published work has been transcribed and presented in its entirety with extensive annotations, a five-chapter introduction to contextualize the work, and a glossary to make it accessible to 21st century general readers, genealogists, students, and historians. This engaging and insightful new publication allows modern readers to reimagine medicine as practiced by a rural physician in New England. We know much about how elite physicians practiced 200 years ago, but very little about the daily practice of an ordinary rural doctor, attending the ordinary rural patient. Barker's manuscript is written in a clear and engaging style, easily enjoyed by general readers as well as historians, with extensive footnotes and a glossary of terms. Barker himself intended his book to be "understood by those destitute of medical science."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In A History of Population Health Johan P. Mackenbach offers a broad-sweeping study of the spectacular changes in people's health in Europe since the early 18th century. Most of the 40 specific diseases covered in this book show a fascinating pattern of 'rise-and-fall', with large differences in timing between countries. Using a unique collection of historical data and bringing together insights from demography, economics, sociology, political science, medicine, epidemiology and general history, it shows that these changes and variations did not occur spontaneously, but were mostly man-made. Throughout European history, changes in health and longevity were therefore closely related to economic, social, and political conditions, with public health and medical care both making important contributions to population health improvement"--
