Book Description
Excerpt from Atlanta Medical and Surgical Journal, 1876, Vol. 13 It is not practicable even to enumerate here all the conceits that have been put forth to account for the phenomena of Asiatic cholera, but a brief notice may be taken of one advanced a few years since, before more seriously taking up the probable explan ation of the disease. The distinguished names of Dr. Geo. John son and Sir Thomas Watson have given to the poison-to-beelimin ated hypothesis a certain foundation, and havb drawn to it an attention that its abstract merits might not command. This hy pothesis is, in brief, that the cholera phenomena result from the introduction of a specific poison into the blood, where it rapidly self-multiplies and spoils certain blood-constituents which are then ejected through the mucous membranes of the alimentary canal; that the poison circulating in the blood excites contraction of the muscular walls of the minute pulmonary arteries, arresting or div minishing the flow of blood in the lungs, which is the essential cause of the cholera collapse; that the copious discharges express nature's efi'orts to throw off a noxious material, and really form, therefore, a necessary part of the process of recovery; and that if the pouring forth of the vascular excretion be checked, (as it possibly may by Opium) the risk of fatal collapse is thereby in creased. They therefore advocate the evacuant or cleansing practice. And propose not to excite increased excretion, but to facilitate the discharge from the mucous canal of matters lodged there. Gentle elimination is the key-word. But this practice (except when abused by being transformed into active purging, ) seems to be really little more than abstention from active inter ference, arid a trust that nature will effect a cure, as we know that she often does. Its greatest merit is that it leaves no room for and reprobates the opium and alcohol treatment, and it is actively good by its suppression of those mischievous agents. It appears, also, that unfortunate practical experience has aided theoretical reasoning to destroy the fabric. (mr. Sedgwick, Lancet, Oct. 7, Nov. 11, 1871; Am. Jour. Med. Sci, Jan., 1872, p.

Book Description
Excerpt from Atlanta Medical and Surgical Journal, Vol. 13: March 1896 We will now consider the etiology of this, which is one of the most widespread of acute diseases. We find that of predisposing causes age ranks first. Prevailing at all ages, there are yet three marked periods: early childhood, then from twenty to forty years, and lastly in old age, of which it is the especial enemy; and according to Loomis, after the age of sixty, nine-tenths of the deaths from acute diseases are due to pneumonia. While catarrhal pneumonia is more common than croupous pneumonia in young children, yet the latter is also found in them, and, according to Loomis, it is five times more frequent in the first two years of existence than in the following eighteen. Males are more frequently affected than females, as being subject to more exposure, for in advanced age, when the conditions of living are more nearly the same, the proportion is about equal. Dwellers in cities, and especially in crowded and unhygienic surroundings, tthcse exposed to hardship and the vicissitudes of weather, are more lliable to the disease. Alcoholism is a most potent predisposing cause. Chronic dis eases, such as diabetes, Bright's and others, previous attacks of pneumonia; in short, all debilitating influences exercise a marked effect as predisposing causes. Pneumonia following blows on the chest, and other traumatism, is known as Contusion, or Trau matic Pneumonia, and the injury producing it is simply a pre disposing cause.
