Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a deep dive into a case study from the annals of medical history. In the 18th century, a young woman suffering from an advanced stage of breast cancer was treated with a nightshade plant extract, a treatment typically used only for topical applications to skin cancers. Through an analysis of the woman's medical documentation, the book explores the risks and benefits of using this treatment, and the state of medical knowledge regarding nightshades at the time. The author also examines the competing theories about the nature and treatment of cancer as they were understood in the 18th century and how these views influenced the unusual treatment approach that was ultimately adopted. The author concludes by highlighting the woman's case as a reminder of the historical importance of considering all available treatment options when faced with a life-threatening illness.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. The book examines the hitherto unknown ideas inherent in physicians' understandings of bodily processes during the 'early modern' period. The author contends that this pivotal period in the history of medicine saw the emergence of a field of study geared solely towards the observation and measurement of bodily reactions to disease and natural phenomena. The author presents a fascinating new perspective on this period, scrutinizing the medical texts of the time and revealing a tension within the medical community between traditional, Galenic beliefs and the emerging perspective of experimental, quantitative measurement of the body. The author concludes that the scientific revolution present in other fields of natural philosophy was also strongly felt in medicine, leading to a major upheaval in the conceptualization of the human body and the systems of the body.
