Medical Fashions of the Nineteenth Century - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

"Medical Fashions of the Nineteenth Century" is a fascinating look at the medical orthodoxy, unorthodoxy, and debate over germ theory, bleeding, homeopathy, and other similar subjects which raged during the transformative period between the arising of the Thompsonian method and the arising of late pre-modern medical thought.

It is perhaps of note to compare this fierce debate with the modern age; one arguably as bizarre, at least situationally, with magical talismans in the 18th century replaced by carbolic acid and herbal simples in the 19th, "natural" dieting and electricity in the 20th, and now, various other similar superstition.
