Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an account of the yellow fever epidemics in Philadelphia in 1793 and 1794 by a prominent physician of the time. The author describes the symptoms of the disease, its various forms, its contagious nature, and its peculiar effects on the body. Notable is the inclusion of insights on the disease that were rare at the time, such as noting the difference in its contagiousness at different times and in different countries. The author also compares the relative contagious nature, distance of infection, and mortality of contagious fevers, which was a novel concept at the time. The book concludes with a defense of bloodletting as a treatment for the disease, which was a controversial practice at the time. Ultimately, the book is a valuable resource for understanding the history of yellow fever and the medical practices of the late 18th century.
