Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Early History of Instrumental Precision in Medicine: An Address; Before the Second Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons; September 23rd, 1891
We have, as yet, to investigate our countless mineral springs, many Of them, as in the Yellowstone Park, unlike any elsewhere known.
The modifications which race brings into the classical types Of dis ease are also before us for analysis; and, as you already know, the negro is relatively less subject to malaria than the white, and also to some neuroses, as Chorea, and probably locomotor ataxia; whilst, as to him and the Indian, we have still much to learn.
And if in climatic therapeutics we discovered the value Of dry cold air for certain lung diseases, and have taught and made available camp life to invalids, securing for such and other noble uses parks as large as some European principalities, surely immense triumphs await us in these directions, when we have more completely studied the large alterative means afforded within forty-five degrees Of latitude, and nearly square miles Of varied soil, with every variety as to altitude and geological formation.
