Excerpt from Sur la Nature Et le Traitement du Cholera Morbus: D'Europe Et d'Asie
Depuis vingt ans, les possessions asiatiques de l'Angleterre ont été plus ou moins dévastées par l'épidémie qui fait le sujet de ce Mémoire. Les pertes considérables que la compagnie des Indes essuya dans tous ses établissemens civils et militaires réclamèrent toute sa sollicitude. Bien connaître les phénomènes de la maladie était un point essentiel pour en régler le traitement, et adopter en même temps toutes les précautions rendues nécessaires par l'économie politique et l'hygiène publique.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines cholera morbus, a serious and often fatal disease which has ravaged populations in many parts of the world for centuries. Despite its historical prevalence, there was, at the time of this book's writing, still much that was not clearly understood about the disease's origins, treatments, and prevention. The author - an experienced physician treating cholera patients in the field - presents a summary of case studies, observations, and treatment options used with varying degrees of success. Of note, he makes a case for bloodletting as a treatment for the disease. While cautioning against viewing cholera as solely contagious, the author also discusses measures for containing its spread. Ultimately, the insights presented in this book furthered understanding of this mysterious disease and contributed to the development of more effective strategies to combat it.
