Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smallpox and Vaccination Smallpox, perhaps more than any other disease, has inspired fear and terror in the popular mind because of its loathsome appearance, its extreme contagiousness and its disfiguring consequences. Lord Macauley's Description of Smallpox. - Lord Macauley, writing of the untimely death from smallpox in 1694 of the young and beautiful Queen Mary of England, gives us a powerful pen picture of the ravages of this pestilence: That disease, over which science has since achieved a succession of glorious and beneficient victories, was then the most terrible of all the ministers of death. The havoc of the plague has been far more rapid, but the plague has visited our shores only once or twice within living memory; and the smallpox was always present, filling the churchyards with corpses, tormenting with constant fears all whom it had nor yet stricken, leaving on those whose lives it spared the hideous traces of its power, turning the babe into a changeling at which the mother shuddered, and making the eyes and cheeks of the betrothed maiden objects of horror to the lover. Blindness from Smallpox. - During certain periods in England, a very large percentage of the people were pockmarked. Ben Jonson, the Elizabethan dramatist, wrote: Envious and foule disease, could there not be, One beautie in an age and free from thee. Not only did the disease destroy life, disfigure and maim, but it was at one time the most common cause of blindness. The early records of the London Asylum for the Indigent Blind showed that two thirds of the inmates had lost their sight as a result of smallpox. Smallpox Adages. - Smallpox was a great scourge before the introduction of vaccination. In London during the eighteenth century it caused one twelfth of all deaths.

This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Information for the People of Pennsylvania With Regard to the Influence of Vaccination on Smallpox During the recent epidemic of smallpox in Pennsylvania a family of four; a mother and three children. Were taken to the Municipal Hospital in Philadelphia, the mother seriouslv ill with smallpox. As there was no one to take care of these children. And as they had all been exposed to the disease and were liable to spread the infec tion, it was absolutely necessary to take them with their mother to the hospital. Two of these children being old enough to attend school had been vaccinated the year before, under the so-called tyrannical law requiring teachers to forbid the admission to school of children who could not present a certificate of successful vaccina tion. The third child being younger, the mother, yielding to the persuasion of foolish neighbors, refused to have vaccinated. The result is shown in the illustration taken from a photograph. (fig.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Treatise on Smallpox: Illustrated by Colored Photographs From Life Ariola, or smallpox, is an acute, contagious disease, characterized by an erup V tion upon both the skin and mucous membrane, with constitutional symptoms of greater or less severity. The eruption presents successively a macular, papular, vesicular, and pustular stage, the pustules finally drying into crusts, which fall and leave the skin temporarily discolored. Where ulceration has occurred it is perma uently scarred or pitted. The lesions of the mucous membrane appear upon those parts more or less exposed to the air, - the mouth and eyes, for example, - but in exceptional cases they may be found throughout the entire intestinal tract, and in the uterus and bladder. These lesions do not run a course similar to those observed upon the skin, but appear as red macules, which rapidly change into ulcerations, covered with a whitish pellicle. The ulcers are imbedded in the substance of the mucous membrane and are not as superficial as in cancrum oris. The constitutional symptoms are most prominent during the periods of invasion and pustulation. There are various clinical forms of smallpox, which may be conveniently described as (1) discrete, (2) confluent, and (3) hemorrhagic, or malignant; and then, according to intensity, as (a) very mild, (6) mild, and (0) severe. The few purpuric spots seen in the severe discrete and the confluent forms are not of great significance, as they are generally due to a peculiar diathesis, and as a rule the patient recovers. The malignant form is almost invariably fatal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Small-Pox and Vaccination It will thus be seen that, just before an epidemic, a large proportion of Children in some large towns may be unprotected by vaccination. In Liverpool the percentage not finally accounted for is comparatively small, being about 5 per cent. Again, those who have escaped the epidemic owing to 'good vaccination lose some of this immunity as years pass, or in the words of the late Dr. Bond, of Gloucester, become de-vaccinated and so provide suitable material for the next outbreak, when the virulence of the disease may succeed in breaking down a comparative insusceptibility. The liability of a population to a small-pox epidemic therefore may be measured by its density at susceptible ages.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Small-Pox: The Predisposing Conditions and Their Prevention Small-pox is an epidemic which isvery'old, extending back into the past as far as the records of history, but in no century has it ever been known to be worse, or more fatal, than in the seventeenth, after the thirty years war in Europe there seemed to be no stopping its ravages. In the beginning of the eighteenth century, an Eng lish lady learned that the Asiatic tribes inoculated themselves with Small-pox virus with a view to escape the disfiguring of their faces from pitting; and the inoculation with Small-pox virus soon became inaugurated in Britain. But the con sequences resulting from it were of such a char acter, that it soon came to be considered as a dangerous proceeding. In the latter part of the eighteenth century, Jenner introduced vaccination substituting cow-pox lymph for human Small-pox lymph. Since that time, which is nearly one hundred years, vaccination has been the only preventive known, and has been most thoroughly employed. But notwithstanding, Small-pox makes its appearance, and at the present time is very. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Scottish Enlightenment Abroad written by Janet Starkey and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Scottish Enlightenment Abroad, Janet Starkey examines the lives and works of Scots working in the mid eighteenth century with the Levant Company in Aleppo, then within the Ottoman Empire; and those working with the East India Company in India, especially in the fields of natural history, medicine, ethnography and the collection of Arabic and Persian manuscripts. The focus is on brothers from Edinburgh: Alexander Russell MD FRS, Patrick Russell MD FRS, Claud Russell and William Russell FRS. By examining a wide range of modern interpretations, Starkey argues that the Scottish Enlightenment was not just a philosophical discourse but a multi-faceted cultural revolution that owed its vibrancy to ties of kinship, and to strong commercial and intellectual links with Europe and further abroad.
