Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Typhoid Fever Considered as a Problem of Scientific Medicine This treatise is an attempted exposition of the problem of typhoid fever. It aims to treat historically the development and present status of our knowledge concerning this important malady as viewed from the standpoint of its mechanism. It is not primarily designed to aid directly in the clinic or the laboratory, but should serve to point out the relations of one to the other, to indicate the dependence of practice on theory, and the happy applicability to human need of investigation that may have seemed to aim merely at the gratification of intellectual curiosity. There are numerous admirable clinical treatises on typhoid fever, such as those of Curschmann, of Vincent and Muratet and of McCrae. The purely laboratory and the public health aspects of the disease are well summarized in such works as those of Kutscher, of Chapin and of Whipple. This book aims to strike a balance between these sources of information, following the life history of the typhoid bacillus rather than the manifestations of the disease it produces, in order to gain insight into the nature of the problem as a whole. No attempt has been made to make this work encyclopedic in character, although the references to original sources are sufficiently ample to lead a prospective investigator to full sources of information. Although we may have succeeded in maintaining correct proportions in our estimate of the accuracy and value of facts, methods and theories that have been shaken down by time into their proper relations to one another, we shall unconsciously or wilfully have exaggerated the importance of recent contributions. We may well have overemphasized the importance of modern investigations in respect to antityphoid vaccination and specific therapy in typhoid fever through personal enthusiasm. The data on these aspects of typhoid fever are so ample and so recent that a critical summary of their essentials seems desirable, even though somewhat premature. In addition to the use that has been made of all the general treatises and original sources of information to be cited, particular indebtedness is felt to Charles Murchison´s "Treatise on the Continued Fevers" as furnishing the backbone of the discussion of the earlier historical aspects of typhoid fever. The author wishes to express his thanks to Dr. John N. Force, Miss Ruth Stone and Miss Helen Dunbar for suggestions and aid in preparing the manuscript.
