Book excerpt: Excerpt from Typhoid Fever Considered as a Problem of Scientific Medicine This treatise is an attempted exposition of the problem of typhoid fever. It aims to treat historically the development and present status of our knowledge concerning this important malady as viewed from the standpoint of its mechanism. It is not primarily designed to aid directly in the clinic or the laboratory, but should serve to point out the relations of one to the other, to indicate the dependence of practice on theory, and the happy applicability to human need of investigation that may have seemed to aim merely at the gratification of intellectual curiosity. There are numerous admirable clinical treatises on typhoid fever, such as those of Curschmann, of Vincent and Muratet and of McCrae. The purely laboratory and the public health aspects of the disease are well summarized in such works as those of Kutscher, of Chapin and of Whipple. This book aims to strike a balance between these sources of information, following the life history of the typhoid bacillus rather than the manifestations of the disease it produces, in order to gain insight into the nature of the problem as a whole. No attempt has been made to make this work encyclopedic in character, although the references to original sources are sufficiently ample to lead a prospective investigator to full sources of information. Although we may have succeeded in maintaining correct proportions in our estimate of the accuracy and value of facts, methods and theories that have been shaken down by time into their proper relations to one another, we shall unconsciously or wilfully have exaggerated the importance of recent contributions. We may well have overemphasized the importance of modern investigations in respect to antityphoid vaccination and specific therapy in typhoid fever through personal enthusiasm. The data on these aspects of typhoid fever are so ample and so recent that a critical summary of their essentials seems desirable, even though somewhat premature. In addition to the use that has been made of all the general treatises and original sources of information to be cited, particular indebtedness is felt to Charles Murchison's "Treatise on the Continued Fevers" as furnishing the backbone of the discussion of the earlier historical aspects of typhoid fever. The author wishes to express his thanks to Dr. John N. Force, Miss Ruth Stone and Miss Helen Dunbar for suggestions and aid in preparing the manuscript.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Typhoid and of Typhus Fever I may simply say, here, that their authors describe, prin cipally, a fever, or form of fever, which is rarely met with in this country; and that they do not represent the actual state of our knowledge upon this subject. It must be regarded as especially unfortunate, that, until within a few years, the greater part of our information, relating to continued fever, has been derived from writers, who have treated, mostly, and under the same name as that gene rally used by ourselves, of a disease, or form of disease, differing, in many important respects, from that which is most common with us; and, that, in this way, so great a degree of confusion has been introduced into our notions of fever.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Typhoid Fever and Its Abortive Treatment The objects that are sought to be accomplished by the issuance of this book are: First, to present to the members of the medical profession so much evidence of the truth of the startling declaration that typhoid fever can be aborted as will induce a large number of physicians to give antiseptic medicine a fair and faithful trial in this disease - the most destructive to adolescent life of all of the acute specific infections - a disease which is both preventable and curable, but which is not only not excluded from, but has been practically invited to invade every community, and has hitherto been allowed to pursue its course uninterrupted by any scientific or efficacious treatment second, to give such explicit direc tions as will enable all physicians to so intelligently apply the principles of antiseptic medicine to the cure of typhoid fever that they may secure for their patients the least inconvenience and suffering, the shortest duration of illness, and the lowest possible death rate third, and finally, to impress upon the minds of the members of this medical profession the enormity of the crime which is committed by all communities that pour their excrement laden sewage into our fresh water lakes and rivers, in violation of all sanitary principles, of genuine humane ness and even of common decency; to the subversion of all efforts at the prophylaxis of typhoid fever, cholera, and other diseases.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Typhoid Fever: Its Causation, Transmission and Prevention Few people, according to vital statistics, die of old age; almost every one dies of disease; and when your turn and mine shall come to shuffle off this mortal coil, we shall have the unwelcome and involuntary lot of more than two hundred different diseases. The human body is a machine. Occasionally it is put together wrong; the various parts do not work in harmony. More often the machine is improperly operated; it is driven too fast, or it is given too much fuel, or not enough. Derangements due to these internal causes are termed "constitutional" and "local" diseases. There is another group of diseases which attack the body from without. They are the infectious diseases, or contagious diseases, parasitic diseases, zymotic diseases, as they are variously called. Alike in the fact that they are all caused by living organisms, they differ in many ways. The organisms themselves are different. Each has an individuality of its own, which the bacteriologist has come to recognize and to understand. There are differences in biological character, in habitat, in mode of development, in means of transmission, in the manner of attacking the body, in virulence, in longevity, in powers of resistance against remedial measures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Typhoid Fever and Typhus Fever The excellence of the series of monographs issued under the editorship of Professor Nothnagel has been recognized by all who are sufficiently familiar with German to read these works, and the series has found a not inconsiderable proportion of its distribution in this and other English-speaking countries. I have so often heard regret expressed by those whose lack of familiarity with German kept these works beyond their reach, that I was glad of the opportunity to assist in the bringing out of an English edition. It was especially gratifying to find that the prominent specialists who were invited to co-operate by editing separate volumes were as interested as myself in the matter of publication of an English edition. These editors have been requested to make such additions to the original articles as seem necessary to them to bring the articles fully up to date and at the same time to adapt them thoroughly to the American or English reader. The names of the editors alone suffice to assure the profession that in the additions there will be preserved the same high standard of excellence that has been so conspicuous a feature in the original German articles. In all cases the German author has been consulted with regard to the publication of this edition of his work, and has given specific consent. In one case only it was unfortunately necessary to substitute for the translation of the German article an entirely new one by an American author, on account of a previous arrangement of the German author to issue a translation of his article separately from this series. With this exception the Nothnagel series will be presented intact. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Typhoid Fever in the Young Classic Reprint written by Abraham Jacobi and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Typhoid Fever in the Young This absence of high temperature does not astonish those who see a good deal of sepsis and of sickness complicated with weak heart. Temperature and danger need not correspond. The very feeble are not as a rule subject to high temperatures any more than the very old; and quite often the worst cases of sepsis are those which exhibit low temperatures. That is a fact best known to those who see much diphtheria or much puerperal fever. Observations of high temperatures previous to the appear ance and recognition of the Symptoms are not frequent. While an adult would be about his work, the infant or child is seldom considered sick enough to claim attention and attendance. That is why chilliness and chills are readily overlooked; indeed, the latter are not marked as a rule in any illness of the young. The rise of the temperature in the typhoid of the young is mostly gradual it is high in the second stage with slight remissions and gradually falls toward the end of the disease. This rule, if it can be called so, is, however, subject to many exceptions. The temperature of small infants may be very irregular, is in many cases rather low and uniform, in others high with few and short remissions. Irregularities, moreover, often depend on complications. After all, neither those are always right who consider the typhoid of the nursling and infant as a uni formly severe disease, like Baginsky and Roemheld, nor those who make light of it. The degree of individual infection, and the nature of the epidemic are factors that have to be considered.

This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Medical Complications, Accidents and Sequels of Typhoid Fever and the Other Exanthemata AT the present time there are few diseases so widespread as typhoid fever, and the literature concerning it is very great. Systems of medicine and text - books innumerable deal with its ordinary manifestations, and touch, necessarily but briefly, upon its accidents, its complications, and its sequels. Anyone who has had even a limited experience with typhoid fever has met with cases in which the manifestations wandered so far from the classical descriptions of the disease as to be puzzling and obscure, or with instances in which the malady has been so altered in its course by intercurrent affections as to be unusual and to call forth all the diagnostic knowledge and therapeutic skill of the physician. The following pages deal with these aberrant forms of the dis ease and the courses which they pursue. The preceding paragraph, taken from the preface of the first edition of this book, gives in a concise form the reason for the appearance of the present volume. During the ten years which have elapsed since the first edition appeared the literature dealing with typhoid fever has greatly increased, and the advances which have been made in the study of the disease by bacteriological methods have added to our knowledge of many of its complica tions and sequels. The present time, therefore, seemed auspicious to bring the text of the first edition up to date, and this has been accomplished with the assistance of the unior author. During the last decade much interest has also been taken in the complications and sequels of the exanthematous fevers other than typhoid, and for this reason chapters dealing with these phases of Variola, scarlet fever, measles, chickenpox, and rubella have been carefully prepared and added to the original text.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Typhoid Fever and Paratyphoid Fevers: Symptomatology, Etiology and Prophylaxis The infinite variety of injuries which any war presents to the surgeon gives to military surgery a special interest and importance. The special interest and importance, in a surgical sense, of the great European War lies not so much in the fact that examples of every form of gross lesion of organs and limbs have been seen, for if we read the older writers we find little in the moderns that is new in this respect, but is to be found in the enormous mass of clinical material which has been presented to us and in the production of evidence sufficient to eliminate sources of error in determining important conclusions. For the first time also in any campaign the labours of the surgeon and the physician have had the aid of the bacteriologist, the pathologist, the physiologist and indeed of every form of scientific assistance in the solution of their respective problems. The clinician entered upon the great war armed with all the resources which the advances of fifty years had made available. If the surgical problems of modern war can be said not to differ sensibly from the campaigns of the past, the form in which they have been presented is certainly as different as are the methods of their solution. The achievements in the field of discovery of the chemist, the physicist and the biologist have given the military surgeon an advantage in diagnosis and treatment which was denied to his predecessors, and we are able to measure the effects of these advantages when we come to appraise the results which have been attained.
