Publisher's Synopsis
Consumption In New England Or Locality One Of Its Chief Causes: An Address (1862) is a historical book written by Henry Ingersoll Bowditch. The book explores the causes of consumption, a disease that was prevalent in New England during the 19th century. Bowditch argues that the disease is not caused by hereditary factors, but rather by environmental factors such as climate, diet, and lifestyle. He also suggests that the disease is more prevalent in urban areas than in rural areas. The book is based on a lecture that Bowditch delivered to the Massachusetts Medical Society in 1862. It provides valuable insights into the medical practices and beliefs of the time and is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of medicine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
