Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed analysis of the disease that plagued the Western population for centuries prior to The Gilded Age. This disease - phthisis, or more commonly known as consumption - took the lives of countless people over the course of history, but especially in the 18th and 19th centuries. The author discusses the various aspects of phthisis - its causes, the stages of the disease, and the treatments that were used to manage it up until the advent of antibiotics. The author draws from the medical writings of the time, with particular attention to the work of Dr. John Reid. Though modern medical interventions have rendered the suffering and death caused by consumption a thing of the past in most developed countries, this book offers valuable insight into the challenges and potential lessons of combating an illness that has shaped societies.
