Excerpt from Consumption in New England: Or, Locality One of Its Chief Causes, an Address Delivered Before the Massachusetts Medical Society
This pamphlet is an exact transcript of the address I delivered before the Massachusetts Medical Society in May last. The force of facts, presented to me by correspondents, compelled me to resign the commonly received opinion, that consumption is equally diffused throughout New England, and to adopt the views of the address, viz. That there are some spots which have very little of this scourge of the human race, while in other places, and even in particular houses, it prevails to a frightful degree and moreover, that these spots may be, perhaps, within a very short distance from each other.
Again: facts, as I believe, indicate that dryness of the soil, in the surroundings of any place, is the prominent characteristic of the former, or of places comparatively free from consumption; while dampness of the soil characterizes the latter, or - as they may be aptly called - consumption breeding districts.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, a summation of research conducted by the esteemed Massachusetts Medical Society, presents an innovative and provocative theory on the origins of consumption, or tuberculosis, in New England during the mid-19th century. The prevailing medical belief up to this point was that consumption was equally prevalent across the region, but the author's data suggests that consumption may in fact be more common in certain locations, particularly those with damp soil. This led the author to propose that damp soil may be a primary factor in the development of consumption, a discovery which if proven could have saved countless lives. The book is a valuable resource on the history of the understanding of tuberculosis in New England, and the author's research provides insight into how environmental factors can affect health. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
