Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The New-England Invalid The provisions under which the Shattuck lectureship was established specify "Historical and other essays on the climate of Massachusetts or the diseases of its inhabitants, or such other subjects as said Society or its government may select." These alternatives are surely liberal enough, and the committee have given me not the least hint to limit my choice, but it certainly seems in accordance with the wishes of the founder that some matter of decided local interest should be discussed in the discourse provided for by his liberality. Common report and more or less jocose remarks attach the name of New England to one at least of the supposable causes of nervous affections. How justly is another matter, but it hardly requires this facetious etiology to make it appropriate for me to choose as my subject one which must have for every one of you, not strangely and exceptionally favored by fortune, a deep professional and often personal interest. An eminent physician, not herself a native of New England, who looks upon a relative impairment of the reproductive functions as largely a phenomenon, though a highly complicated one, of acclimation and as closely connected with the neurotic constitution, says that "it should be more conspicuous in New England, whose rigorous climate differs more from that of old England than does the climate of the Middle States."
