Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Epidemiological Society of London, Vol. 22 The few remarks that follow are intended merely to intro duce the question, What is Climatic Disease? In former times people used to speak of the deadly climate of Calcutta, or Jamaica, or other tropical places; and, until about the middle of the last century, it must be admitted that this was true in the case of many of our foreign stations. Thus, the death-rate of the British soldier in India averaged (up to 1855) 69 per the rate at home being 9 per among men at the soldier's age. But when the causes of this high mortality were enquired into, it was found that by far the largest number of deaths were due to a few diseases of the zymotic class; so that, when the Indian Sanitary Commission presented their report in 1863, they were able to say that, were it possible wholly to put an end to deaths arising from the various classes of fevers, from cholera, dysentery, amd diarrhoea, together with hepatitis and its consequences, the troops serving in India would become as healthy as any body of men in the world. The Commissioners pronounced the Opinion that these diseases were, to a large extent, de pendent ou removable conditions and habits. I may mention that one of these habits was the drinking of the fourth part of a quart bottle of raw spirits every day, as a ration and another, the marching in a close-fitting tunic and stock, tightly buckled across the chest, and the head very imperfectly protected from the sun.

The daily business of the life of John Netten Radcliffe was epidemiology, and when that life closed prematurely a few weeks ago, there was not in Christendom any investigator of disease to whom the title of epidemiologist was more justly due than it was to our late esteemed and lamented fellow workman, an inquirer as honest as he was able, upon Whose brief and by no means painless mundane existence the divine light of truth was bountifully shed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Epidemiological Society of London, Vol. 1: Session 1881-82 The first idea that must occur to anyone who hears me is the place which, among all such subjects, we Shall gratefully assign to mathematical science. If in physiology and therapeutics, we have recourse to this science for the com position Oi our facts, for a knowledge of the general from the particular, for the, apprehension of degrees of certainty under conditions that are inconstant and not wholly known; the indebtedness of epidemiology to mathematics begins at an earlier and ends at a later period of its course. So identified is the one with the other science, that there has occasionally been a confusion in the popular mind between the two things, and the study of epidemics has been regarded as essentially an affair of statistics: while, on the other hand, it has sometimes happened that laborious and promising work in the field of epidemiology has been without result, owing to want of apprehension of some circumstance that is plain enough when it is once pointed out by the mathematician.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Epidemiological Society of London Although accurate accounts of the disease only go back to 1817, a study of the history of cholera shows that it has with each successive pandemic wave obtained a wider geographical distribution, and that its area of occasional prevalence covers the greater part of the inhabited globe. Throughout this history there runs the important assump tion that the disease did not arise dc novo at each and every place where it has shown itself, but rather that it is indi genous at certain points on the earth's surface from which it tends to extend to other parts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Epidemiological Society of London, Vol. 19: Session 1899-1900 IN the address which I had the honour to read before you a year ago, I recounted the history of the efforts which have been made in England during the past fifty years for the improvement and protection of the public health; and I endeavoured to estimate the degree of success which these efforts had attained. We found that - partly, no doubt, through the general amelioration of social condi tions, but partly also, as there was good reason to believe, as the result of efforts specially directed towards the improvement of the public health - there had been, during the half-century under review, a marked decline of the death-rate, it having fallen from per inhabit ants per annum in the five years 1847-51, to in the five years 1892-96. This fall, moreover, has taken place in spite of the increasing aggregation of the population in towns, a circumstance which of itself would have tended in a contrary direction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Epidemiological Society of London, Vol. 14: Session 1894-95 We look back upon those early days with gratitude, and with appreciation of the foresight of those who at that time saw the possibility of the acquisition of a fuller knowledge of epidemic disease. For their use they had the history of the past, a history full of interest, but in volved in much obscurity, and useful rather in giving incentive to the study Of epidemic disease than in affording material for explanation of its phenomena; for the study of existing disease in this country they had the old Bills of Mortality and some thirteen years of the better records of the registrar-general. There was ample field in the Study of the geographical distribution of disease, its altitudinal range, the character of the soil of the localities where it prevailed, the climatic conditions which appeared to foster it, and the character of the population which is most infected; there was, moreover, the important question of the means by which it was disseminated, and the Specula tion whether this was brought about by some contagium produced in the soil, or in the bodies of the sufferers, or in the animal or vegetable life with which they are surrounded. How broad a view the society has always taken of the Work before it is Shown by the admirable Objects Paper of the society, which indicates the subject matter demand ing the study of the epidemiologist. In this excellent statement we are told that the epidemiologist must include in his studies the great group of idiopathic fevers, the sanitary condition of places and dwellings, topographical medicine, the geography of epidemic and endemic diseases, the chronology of epidemics, and he must also Obtain knowledge concerning epizootics and epiphytics. It is clear, therefore, that the society, while recognising the necessity of studying the behaviour of human disease in respect to time and place, was in no way disposed to limit its studies to the human animal in seeking explanation of the circumstances in which such disease is caused.

This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Epidemiological Society of London, 1895-96, Vol. 15 With respect to the growth of hospital isolation as a method of dealing with scarlatina, it appears from a return made to the Local Government Board, in the year 1879, that only some 18 per cent. Of the sanitary authorities in England and Wales had at that time made isolation pro vision of any sort; and I learn from Dr. Thorne Thorne' 8 Report upon the Use and Influence of Hospitals for Infectious Diseases, that the provision made, even by such authorities, amounted in many instances to provision only in name. According to a further Return made to the Board in 1893, it appears, however, that the proportion of the total sanitary authorities then in possession of isolation accommodation of one or another kind was practically double that of 1879. During recent years, moreover, considerable improvement has taken place in the character as well as in the amount of isolation accommodation available, and it is certain that this has largely contributed to the more general use of Isolation Hospitals by the public. As a general result, then, of the increase in the number of Isolation Hospitals, and the improvement in their character, a considerably larger proportion of the total cases of infectious disease occurring in the country are now removed to hospital than was formerly the case. And that this is especially true in regard to scarlatina is, I think, evident from the fact that, Whereas the earlier hospitals mostly owed their origin to the occurrence of, or to the fear of, epidemics of small-pox, typhus, or cholera, the isolation of scarlatina has, it appears to me, most frequently afforded the primary object of the more recently erected permanent hospitals. As regards London, Which is, of course, of especial importance for our present purpose, it was not until recent years that any systematic provision was made out of the public funds for the isolation of non pauper cases of infectious illness, though it is true that, owing to one or another cause, a progressive increase from year bto year had, prior to this, occurred in the proportion of the cases of London scarlatina Which had been removed to the hospitals of the Metropolitan Asylums Board.

The result is attained in different ways: by enclosing the work so that dust cannot escape; by substitution of wet or moist pro cesses giving off no dust; by exhaust draught carrying away the dust at the point of origin; and, as a ast resource, by respirators worn by the operatives exposed to the dust. In the case of dusty lead processes in particular, great advances have been made in this direction, with resulting diminution of lead-poisoning.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Epidemiological Society of London, Vol. 10: Session 1890-91 These Acts of Parliament have, speaking generally, been framed with the design of ameliorating the condition of considerable sections of the community, and through these, the entire population. Though not nearly so advanced and comprehensive as many would justly wish to see them, they are nevertheless based upon lines easily susceptible of such expansion as will meet the demands and necessities of the future. The good intentions displayed in their construction, for which the proverbial praise may be accorded, are, however, materially frustrated by the cumbrousness and costliness of their provisions, not to mention legal subtleties, formulae, and forms retained in full force, even for the benefit of owners of houses acknowledged to be insanitary. To such an extent is this carried still by the law as it stands, that the so-called rights of property are held to be sacred, and, accordingly, take the first place, whilst the claims of the humbler, helpless, and poorer classes of humanity are relegated to a secondary position. That property has duties as well as rights is not yet adequately recognised. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
