This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diseases of China, Including Formosa and Korea It is necessary to emphasise that this book is not in any sense intended to be a general text-book of medicine, nor even to cover the whole ground of the diseases met with in China. Some of these, such as phthisis, pneumonia, and so forth, differ clinically in no respects from the same diseases as encountered in the West, and are therefore left untouched or only treated from the standpoint of their distribution or otherwise merely alluded to in these pages. Our aim is to present to medical men working in China, both Chinese and foreign, a concise account of the special diseases they will meet with in their own practice in this empire. A complete account of many of these diseases might be obtained from the voluminous literature of tropical medicine, and of most of those remaining from general medical literature. We present them in one volume of a reasonable size and with constant and special reference to their modifications as brought about by the hygienic habits and the racial peculiarities of the people of China, and draw our illustrative cases from practice among the same. It has been possible only to allude here and there to questions and studies arising out of this vast and promising field for comparative medical research, the disproval and establishment of medical theories by reference and comparison with the conditions and findings under widely differing civilisations. Such questions are raised under discussion of the etiology of beri-beri, the relation of carcinoma and gout, plague infection, and at many other points, but we would emphasize that this field is enormous in possibilities for future usefulness and would warrant the attention of special research workers. This work is illustrated very largely by photographs of diseased conditions among the Chinese; most of them being of our own taking and the majority having never been published. A certain number have appeared only in the China Medical Journal. Others have been taken, with permission, from recent works on pathology, parasitology, tropical medicine, and so forth, and acknowledgement is made in the text. Complete acknowledgement has been made as far as possible of all sources of outside information and illustration in the text of the book.

Download or read book Speaking of Epidemics in Chinese Medicine written by Marta Hanson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-29 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the history of the Chinese concept of "Warm diseases" (wenbing) from antiquity to the SARS epidemic. Following wenbing from its birth to maturity and even life in modern times Marta Hanson approaches the history of Chinese medicine from a new angle. She explores the possibility of replacing older narratives that stress progress and linear development with accounts that pay attention to geographic, intellectual, and cultural diversity. By doing so her book integrates the history of Chinese medicine into broader historical studies in a way that has not so far been attempted, and addresses the concerns of a readership much wider than that of Chinese medicine specialists. The persistence of wenbing and other Chinese disease concepts in the present can be interpreted as resistance to the narrowing of meaning in modern biomedical nosology. Attention to conceptions of disease and space reveal a previously unexamined discourse the author calls the Chinese geographic imagination. Tracing the changing meanings of "Warm diseases" over two thousand years allows for the exploration of pre-modern understandings of the nature of epidemics, their intersection with this geographic imagination, and how conceptions of geography shaped the sociology of medical practice and knowledge in late imperial China. Speaking of Epidemics in Chinese Medicine opens a new window on interpretive themes in Chinese cultural history as well as on contemporary studies of the history of science and medicine beyond East Asia.

Download or read book The Making of Modern Chinese Medicine 1850 1960 written by Bridie Andrews and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical care in nineteenth-century China was spectacularly pluralistic: herbalists, shamans, bone-setters, midwives, priests, and a few medical missionaries from the West all competed for patients. This book examines the dichotomy between "Western" and "Chinese" medicine, showing how it has been greatly exaggerated. As missionaries went to lengths to make their medicine more acceptable to Chinese patients, modernizers of Chinese medicine worked to become more "scientific" by eradicating superstition and creating modern institutions. Andrews challenges the supposed superiority of Western medicine in China while showing how "traditional" Chinese medicine was deliberately created in the image of a modern scientific practice.
