Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Carrier Problem in Infectious Diseases The Editors hope to issue in this series of International Medical Monographs contributions to the domain of the Medical Sciences on subjects of immediate interest, made by first-hand authorities who have been engaged in extending the confines of knowledge. Readers who seek to follow the rapid progress made in some new phase of investigation will find herein accurate information acquired from the consultation of the leading authorities of Europe and America, and illuminated by the researches and considered opinions of the authors. Amidst the press and rush of modern research, and the multitude of papers published in many tongues, it is necessary to find men of proved merit and ripe experience, who will winnow the wheat from the chaff, and give us the present knowledge of their own subjects in a duly balanced, concise, and accurate form. Drs. Ledingham and Arkwright in this volume deal with a subject of the greatest importance to public health. They have made an elaborate study of the doctrine that diseases, like typhoid fever, cerebrospinal fever, diphtheria, cholera, and dysentery, are propagated through the agency of human "carriers" - i.e., individuals outwardly healthy, or at most suffering from some trivial chronic complaint. The discovery of "carriers" has opened out a new department of hygiene, and the question of legislative control of such has become a matter of immediate practical importance. Up to date no such exhaustive treatise on the "carrier" problem as that of Drs. Ledingham and Arkwright has been published.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Carriers in Infectious Diseases: A Manual on the Importance, Pathology, Diagnosis and Treatment of Human Carriers; With a Section on Carriers in Veterinary Medicine In writing this book, the author has attempted to prepare a manual on that young but rapidly growing specialty in preventive medicine, which, for want of a better term, may be called carrier work. The subject has been treated as a part of general medicine and surgery, and the book is intended to be of practical value to medical students and physicians, especially those with public health responsibilities. The didactic or text book method of presentation has, therefore, been adopted, rather than the monographic. There are already two monographs on this subject in English: "The Carrier Problem in the Infectious Diseases," by Ledingham and Arkwright, and "Human Infection Carriers," by Simon. The writer's aim is not to compete with these valuable works, but to supplement them. No effort is made to develop the subject historically or bibliographically, except to emphasize certain points or to refer to recent summaries. The idea has been to give a systematic exposition of current medical theory and practice as relates to carriers. Some idea of the amount of work, which has been and is being devoted to this subject, can be gathered from the fact that there are in the catalogue of the Surgeon-General's Library, on typhoid carriers alone, over three hundred references to recorded experiences. An effort has been made to collect, from these sources and from practical experience, the lessons that survive the test of time and trial and thus deserve a place in the program for the future. The writer has had personal experience with carrier problems from several different angles. On the theoretical side, anyone who in these days works intelligently for the health of groups, as well as of individuals, soon realizes that carriers as well as cases must be considered in any rational and radical program for the control of the infectious diseases. In attempting to study carriers, it was found that animal experimentation afforded a good method of approach, as human carriers are not always available when desired and clinical conditions often cannot be analyzed experimentally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Infectious Diseases The publication of the Deutsche Klimt: at the beginning of the twentieth century corresponds to an epoch not only in the progress of time but also in the history of medicine. Time, as one of the editors of this great work has well said, moves on without regard to arbitrary divisions such as days, years or centuries and its progress is not measured by milestones. Human knowl edge advances in the same way. If there appear from time to time to be sud den bursts of improvement they will be found upon careful study of the facts to be the manifestations of previous forces acting quietly and progressively just as the orderly succession of the seasons is the result of unnoted but irresistible and continuously acting cosmic energy. Long periods of patient research precede the great discoveries in medicine and broad generalizations rest upon many carefully studied facts. The great events of medical history by which we mark its general progress bear a sort of analogy to the divisions by which we chronicle the passing of the ages. They are the dates of knowledge. The later years of the nineteenth and the opening of the twentieth cen tury constitute one of the most brilliant and impressive of these epochs. To celebrate it important scientific publications, especially in medicine, have been issued in several languages. It is no disparagement of others to say that the Deutsche Klinik, the sum of the collective labor of the Master Minds of Medicine in Germany, stands, as a summary of existing knowledge and as a permanent record of the medical science of our times, in the foremost rank. Those to Whom this work is known in the original will welcome it in its English garb and convenient arrangement. Those to whom it first comes in the translation will find it not only the literary embodiment of the most advanced science but also in a surprising degree adapted to the everyday needs of the practitioner, the student and the teacher.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Human Infection Carriers: Their Significance, Recognition and Management The volume which is herewith presented to the medical public is the outcome of the renewed interest which the subject of Infection Carriers has acquired since the outbreak of the great war, and the resulting necessity of guarding the health of our troops against epidemics. With this has come an evergrowing demand for men trained in the recognition of carriers by laboratory methods and for these, more particularly, the book has been written. The request from the Surgeon-General's Office that medical students be thoroughly drilled in the epidemiological aspects of the infectious diseases, including the laboratory side of the question, has brought up the problem in what department this training should be given. At the University of Maryland Medical School and College of Physicians and Surgeons of Baltimore, the carrier question was taken up by the Department of Clinical Pathology, to which it would properly seem to belong. The extension of the usual clinical pathological work along these lines has been found most satisfactory from every standpoint. It has already proven of absorbing interest to the student, and will no doubt lead to corresponding work, as a matter of routine, in the clinical laboratories of our hospitals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Treatment of Acute Infectious Diseases To the layman the word "physician" connotes a therapeutist; one whose professional end and aim it is to cure the sick. If he thinks of the physician at all as a student of the science of medicine or as a diagnostician it is only in the sense that he is busied with matters that shall lead to the prevention, cure or alleviation of disease; and yet every practitioner of medicine, seeking assistance in the exercise of his art, feels the disproportion of the much that is offered him of the cause, the course and the consequences of disease and the little that is afforded of the practical application of this knowledge to its legitimate uses, getting the sick man well. As a teacher of therapeutics I have always felt that this branch of medicine has been unduly neglected both in the college curriculum and in the text-book. With the text-book my experience has been that it either speaks in generalities assuming knowledge on the part of the student or physician, when such an assumption should annul its very reason for being, or it catalogues and compiles endless measures and procedures without effort to exercise a judgment of their relative values. The few exceptions to this statement make themselves conspicuous. Successfully or not, it has been the attempt of the author to avoid these extremes of error. Each chapter has been made to deal with an individual disease in a thoroughly practical manner; each little detail of procedure being explained so that the reader may actually apply it. Moreover, the reason for the procedure, as based on our latest information, both with respect to physical therapy and drugs, the author has sought to give. Constant and confusing reference to the literature has been avoided, but an effort to give due credit has been made. The book, finally, must be looked on as an expression of the author's individual opinion and will he didactic rather than critical. A summary at the end of each chapter is designed to add to its usefulness as a ready reference for the busy practitioner and as a review to the student.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sources and Modes of Infection We need to measure more carefully the relative importance of different sources of disease and different modes of infec tion. It is not so important to know that typhoid bacilli live in water for weeks, as it is to know that 99 per cent die in one week. It is not enough to discover that diphtheria bacilli can be recovered from articles in the sick-room; we must learn how often they are found and how often disease is traced to such a source. We have for years been much alarmed because tubercle bacilli are found in milk, but since a serious effort has been made to measure the actual danger, the alarm has greatly diminished. Doubtless the house fly has been the cause of typhoid fever, but in what percentage of cases we are profoundly ignorant. Healthy carriers of diphtheria have certainly transmitted the disease to others, and we should earnestly try to determine the amount of diphtheria caused in this way. The attempt is made in the following pages to estimate roughly, with the very imperfect material now available, the relative importance of different factors in the extension of infectious diseases. The conclu sions must to a large extent be merely tentative, and as indicating lines for further study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Colonies and Village Settlements for the Consumptive Symonds, and we together examined the patients, sampled the climate and other conditions, and argued with Unger and Ruedi. Then for the second time came Hope; more solid Hope. Given a fairly early case, and three years, and recovery was in the offing. And so we went on cheerfully with Davos. But Davos was not for every one; nor was every case an early 'one. Then came the discovery that lower altitudes would do if certain conditions were obtained; and so arose the great sanatorium movement. But slowly we found that patients could not spend their lives in sanatoriums; and one day on making my way up to one of them in England, I met on the way patient after patient, slouching along, bored to death with themselves and with each other; and even worse in morale than in body. Better discipline and better notions of thera peutics mended some of that; still I could not forget those listless saunterers, and it became evident to some of us, however unwillingly, that Hope was drooping again. The sanatorium was doing a great educative work no doubt; but at the end of its four or six months - what then? To send the patient away with recommendations about light jobs, and a regime, was almost a mockery or quite. What about the wage, and the family to be supported? The next lesson was brought home to me by a visit with other commissioners to certain cities, concerning some such problems. Before me now I see a gaunt hollow-eyed man, coughing, and leaning against the wall as he tried to talk to us, saying that his mates when he came out of the sanatorium - good fellows as they were - had bought him a milk that he might creep round, and earn a bit. The brave wife, shawl on head and mill apron on, had just come from the factory, and apologised for the dirty house - as well she might. The poor thing was working all day at the factory to keep the wolf from the door. All being dragged down together into the pit! What is the value of a good house, or a clean house, if no wages! What is there for the children? And what is to stop the infection! Who then would have the imagination, the initiative, the business capacity, to lift this burden, like lifting a world?
