Synopsis
Excerpt from An Introductory Lecture, Preliminary to a Course on the Institutes of Medicine: Delivered on the 9th of October, 1850, Before the Medical Class of the University of Pennsylvania
The atmosphere is vitiated and contaminated in various ways. Respi ration is the most common. Accurate observations have established that from 4 to 5 per cent. Of carbonic acid is contained in the air expired by a. Male adult, and a somewhat larger per centage of oxygen has disappeared. The amount of air passing through the lungs in 124 hours, is about 400 cubic feet, which loses about 20 cubic feet of oxygen, and receives about 16 cubic feet of carbonic acid. The same air breathed three or four times becomes poisonous. One per cent. Of carbonic acid in the air, if breathed for some time, is prejudicial and death has been caused by a vitiation of not more than 12 or 15 per cent.
These facts show the importance of free ventilation to the preservation of health, and the free exercise of the functions, mental and physical.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book champions medicine as a science rather than an art, outlining the general laws and conditions that underpin the phenomena of living beings and steer the practice of medicine. The author presents a bold case against the notion that medicine is an inexact science, meticulously analyzing the physiological and medical sciences to demonstrate the immutable laws and principles that govern them. The book is a profound exploration of the scientific grounding of medicine, offering a fresh perspective on the nature of disease, treatment, and the role of physicians as interpreters of the laws of life. With a meticulously researched historical context and an abundance of case studies, the author elucidates the evolution of medical knowledge and the profound implications of this knowledge for the preservation of health and the alleviation of suffering. Ultimately, this book is a testament to the power of science in understanding and harnessing the complexities of life itself.
