Book Description
Excerpt from A Report on Hospital Gangrene, Erysipelas and Pyaemia, 1863: As Observed in the Departments of the Ohio and the Cumberland, With Cases Appended Sir - The investigations which have been conducted in this city in relation to hospital gangrene, erysipelas, ichorrhaemia, thrombus, metastatic abcess (pyaemia, ) diphtheria, and gangrenous scarlatina, have had for their objects to ascertain: First, the nature of the causes operating to the production of the diseases; Secondly, the nature of the process set in motion; Thirdly, the prophylactic and curative agents. The affections just named are, in some of their aspects, so intimately united on the points touched in these investigations that it is impossible to disunite them for the purpose of description. The opportunities presented in the Military Hospitals of this city for the study of some of these diseases have been great, especially so in regard to hospital gangrene. For the study of diphtheria and scarlatina, except in connection with wounds, the occasions have not been numerous in these hospitals, the cases having been isolated and few. Indeed more cases have occurred in private than in public practice. Enough, however, have been observed to justify the conclusions expressed in the following pages. The report of the cases of scarlatina and diphtheria will form the subject of a separate paper. Hospital gangrene, erysipelas, gangrenous diphtheria, and scarlatina, viewed as local diseases, present, on careful study, many points of resemblance; nor are they unlike in the constitutional states wedded to them. These resemblances are marked. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1863 edition. Excerpt: ...the different modifications in the use of bromine, and to give the reader some idea of the general development of the clinical processes elsewhere recommended. Wilbur F. Nichols, corporal company B, 34th Illinois, was admitted into Ward No. 1, Hospital No. 7, January 15th, 1863, having a flesh wound upon the inner aspect of the left leg, in its lower third. The wound was made by a minie ball, had its aperture of entrance separated from that of exit by a piece of integument about two inches in width. The wound was superficial. The edges had a contused and purple appearance. January 20th, well marked hospital gangrene made its appearance. The first application made was lint saturated with liq. chlor. soda. This application was continued for some days, with slight improvement in the cleanliness of the wound. The latter was covered with large, greyish, pulpy sloughs, and a scrofulous looking pus, emitting a foul odor; it is about five inches in length in its largest diameter. The tendons are to be plainly seen, as well as the internal saphena, exposed, indurated, filled with coagulated blood, and sloughing throughout the whole extent of the ulcer. The tibia and fibula are bare, the former for two and a-half inches. Constitutional symptoms are prostration, restlessness, sleeplessness, and loss of appetite. The local treatment has been, up to date February 10th, mur. tinct. ferri, charcoal, and cinchona poultices, tar water, and dilute nitric acid. Constitutional treatment has consisted of wine, quinine, egg-nog, and generous diet. This morning, on removing the dressings, an arterial jet followed, which was stopped by torsion. There seems now nothing left but amputation. Although the patient is willing to submit, the operation holds out but...

Book Description
Soldiers lay wounded or sick as both sides struggled to get them fit to return to battle. Winner, George Rosen Prize, American Association for the History of Medicine The Civil War was the greatest health disaster the United States has ever experienced, killing more than a million Americans and leaving many others invalided or grieving. Poorly prepared to care for wounded and sick soldiers as the war began, Union and Confederate governments scrambled to provide doctoring and nursing, supplies, and shelter for those felled by warfare or disease. During the war soldiers suffered from measles, dysentery, and pneumonia and needed both preventive and curative food and medicine. Family members—especially women—and governments mounted organized support efforts, while army doctors learned to standardize medical thought and practice. Resources in the north helped return soldiers to battle, while Confederate soldiers suffered hunger and other privations and healed more slowly, when they healed at all. In telling the stories of soldiers, families, physicians, nurses, and administrators, historian Margaret Humphreys concludes that medical science was not as limited at the beginning of the war as has been portrayed. Medicine and public health clearly advanced during the war—and continued to do so after military hostilities ceased.
