Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the devastating yellow fever that struck Philadelphia in the 18th century, examining its origins, treatments, and the impact it had on the city and its citizens. The author, drawing upon contemporary accounts and medical knowledge, challenges the prevailing belief that the fever was imported from the West Indies. Instead, the author argues that the fever originated from the city's putrid conditions, caused by a combination of factors that included stagnant water and waste, and exacerbated by heat and humidity. The author meticulously presents evidence to support the local origin theory, providing a comprehensive analysis of the fever's causes and effects, and offering valuable insights into the nature of epidemics and the importance of public health measures in preventing their spread. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
