Book excerpt: Excerpt from Asiatic Cholera: History Up to July 15 1892 Causes and Treatment We learn, from the description given by Sanskrit authors writing some 400 B.C., that Asiatic cholera existed in India in their day. They have described the symptoms of the disease, which are precisely similar to those met with at the present time. In spite, however, of repeated inroads of warlike races from the north-west into India, cholera does not appear to have spread with them beyond the confines of that country. Probably few of these conquering races overran Lower Bengal, which we may, therefore, suppose, was, as it now is, the home of cholera. As we pass from the study of these ancient records to comparatively recent history, we learn that, in the year 1438, Ahmed Shah, was compelled to raise the siege of Mando, in Mehwah, in consequence of an outbreak of a disease which is said to have destroyed some thousands of his troops in the course of a few days; the disease is described as "waba" a word still employed to designate Asiatic cholera. In 1490, Vasco de Gama visited the Malabar coast, and has left us a full account of the symptoms of cholera as it affected the natives and his own sailors. For centuries past, in the Gangetic Delta, the "Oolee Beebe," or Goddess of Cholera, has been worshipped, and temples still exist in that part of India containing emblems of this goddess. In 1781-82 cholera was very deadly in Calcutta, and the government reported to the home authorities that it had "pursued its course northwards." During this year epidemic cholera visited Ganjam; it attacked a division of our troops passing through that district, and in the course of a few days no less than 1,143 sepoys, out of a force of 5,000 men, were down with cholera. Colonel Pearce remarks that, "death raged in the camp with horrors not to be described, and all expected to be devoured by this pestilence."

This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 1166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This three-volume set provides a comprehensive yet concise global exploration of health and medicine from ancient times to the present day, helping readers to trace the development of concepts and practices around the world. From archaeological evidence of trepanning during prehistoric times to medieval Europe's conception of the four humors to present-day epidemics of diabetes and heart disease, health concerns and medical practices have changed considerably throughout the centuries. Health and Medicine through History: From Ancient Practices to 21st-Century Innovations is broken down into four distinct time periods: antiquity through the Middle Ages, the 15th through 18th centuries, the 19th century, and the 20th century and beyond. Each of these sections features the same 13-chapter structure, touching on a diverse array of topics such as women's health, medical institutions, common diseases, and representations of sickness and healing in the arts. Coverage is global, with the histories of the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania compared and contrasted throughout. The book also features a large collection of primary sources, including document excerpts and statistical data. These resources offer readers valuable insights and foster analytical and critical thinking skills.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English System is a history of port health and immigration at a critical moment of transformation at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century. During the later nineteenth century, British public health officials transformed the medieval quarantine system into a novel ‘English System’ of surveillance to control the introduction of infectious disease. This removed the much maligned hindrances of quarantine to high-speed international commerce and for maritime traffic through Britain’s ports. At the same time, calls were made to restrict the arrival of increasing numbers of European immigrants and transmigrants. This book explores the tensions and transition in the regulation of port health from a paradigm focused on the origin of disease to one which converged on the origin of the diseased.
