Excerpt from Geographical Pathology: An Inquiry Into the Geographical Distribution of Infective and Climatic Diseases

The object of this work is to sketch the geographical distribution of infective and climatic diseases, and to trace the inﬂuence of tempera ture, rainfall, altitude, and soil conditions on their prevalence, character, and epidemic Spread.

Under the term infective diseases, I include miasmatic diseases, such as malaria; miasmatic-contagious maladies, such as cholera; and the contagious diseases proper, such as scarlet fever.1 Climatic diseases include, amongst others, croup, bronchitis, pneumonia, and rheumatism, which are either owing to, or are materially inﬂuenced by, meteorological conditions.
