Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Battle With Tuberculosis and How to Win It: A Book for the Patient and His Friends During a sojourn of eighteen months as a patient at sanatoria in Canada and the United States, and a residence of two years in a health resort, the writer has had opportunity to meet many sufferers from tuberculosis and to come much nearer their secret thoughts, hopes and misgivings than was ever pos sible during ten years of medical practice previous to his illness. As a result of many conversations, not a few confidences, and witnessing the little comedies and tragedies that ordinarily are enacted behind the scenes of sanatorium life, he is no longer in doubt as to why tuberculosis, which the scientist knows tends kindly towards arrest, is such a fatal disease. He has become increasingly convinced that the great number of deaths occur, not because the disease is terribly virulent, for in most cases it is not, but simply because the majority of patients do not understand, or even begin to comprehend, the significance of the reasons underlying the only treatment that will bring success. And so this little book is written in the hope of setting forth in a simple and interesting, but none the less compre hensive and convincing manner, the fundamental scientific facts which help to answer the patient's constant inquiry - Why must I do this? Here and there similes and metaphors may seem extrava gant, but the writer has sought by figure of speech to appeal to the patient, whilst being essentially true to the scientific understanding of the day. It may not be without interest and encourage ment to some readers of this little book to know the writer's personal experience with tuberculosis. The disease in his case has been of the acute variety and manifested itself after an attack Of influenza complicated by double pneumonia. It spread rapidly to every lobe of the lungs, on both the right and the left side of the chest, and later at tacked the larynx or throat. It enforced a. Com plete confinement to bed for over two years, and at times made thought of recovery seem impossible. But now, just four years since the disease made its appearance, it has become so quiescent as to permit of a limited amount of work, and life would seem to hold for the writer the prospect of years of per sonal happiness and also of service to his fellow sufferers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Weariness, the Fever, and the Fret Katherine McCuaig takes an in-depth look at the campaign against TB, from its beginnings as part of the turn-of-the-century urban social reform movement to the 1950s and the discovery of antibiotics that could cure it. Although the bacillus that causes it had been discovered in 1882, at the turn of the century TB was, as Osler observed, "a social disease with a medical aspect." With "fresh air, good food, good houses, and hope" as the only available treatment, fighting the disease meant not only eliminating the germ but attacking the underlying social problems that predisposed an individual to disease - alcoholism and poor living and working conditions. By the end of World War I the bacteriological approach had become dominant, with federally expanded sanatoria, increasing provincial involvement and responsibility, and more sophisticated technology to diagnose and treat the disease. The campaign against TB not only influenced the way in which health services were established and the division of responsibility among various levels of government and volunteers but profoundly affected attitudes toward the political and economic development of Canadian health care and the ultimate demand for medicare. Drawing on sources ranging from government reports and archival material to more general North American social and political historical research, McCuaig demonstrates how TB was viewed and how it was controlled, which owed as much to changing attitudes in society as to bacteriological discoveries.
