Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, a summation of research conducted by the esteemed Massachusetts Medical Society, presents an innovative and provocative theory on the origins of consumption, or tuberculosis, in New England during the mid-19th century. The prevailing medical belief up to this point was that consumption was equally prevalent across the region, but the author's data suggests that consumption may in fact be more common in certain locations, particularly those with damp soil. This led the author to propose that damp soil may be a primary factor in the development of consumption, a discovery which if proven could have saved countless lives. The book is a valuable resource on the history of the understanding of tuberculosis in New England, and the author's research provides insight into how environmental factors can affect health.
