Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book details the author's observations on the yellow fever epidemic that struck Philadelphia in 1797. The author reflects on the common symptoms, such as headaches, pain, fever, and skin discoloration, as well as more severe outcomes like convulsions and apoplexy. Theories of the disease's origins are explored, and the author contemplates the connection between its development and various environmental and personal factors. The author believes that the fever was caused by putrid exhalations from ships and stagnant water filled gutters. The text also provides a glimpse into the practices and challenges of medical treatment in the late 18th century. It reveals the author's experimentation with treatments like bloodletting, purging, and mercury, to combat the disease's often fatal effects. An invaluable resource for medical historians, this volume offers a firsthand account of a devastating epidemic and the scientific discourse surrounding it.
