Beschreibung

19pp. No cover, disbound from a compilation at some time, pages are loosely bound together in two sections but all complete and in nice clean condition, some top edges torn in margin. Includes in the appendices an interesting report of the problems from the Seaman's Hospital in Constantinople -- Since the introduction of screw steamers into the Levant, Danube, and Black Sea trades, men are landed at hospital, suffering from severe forms of chronic disease and broken-down constitution. The majority are shipped in a diseased state, and many of them barely reach Constantinople alive. Cases of foul chronic ulcers, constitutional syphilis in every form, chronic skin diseases, old and broken-down drunkards, men far advanced in consumption, and old men far beyond the period of actual service seem to be indiscriminately shipped. --.
