Book Description
The essays collected here not only contribute to our understanding of the conception and application of a variety of medical ideas, showing how they depended on beliefs about climate and corporeal constitution as well as often inconsistent data or récits culled from travellers and geographically dispersed case histories, but also open up illuminatingly complex perspectives on the uncertainties and dangers of the phenomenon of modern travel.

Recasting American Liberty

Pages : 436
Book Description
Through courtroom dramas from 1865 to 1920 - of men forced to jump from moving cars when trainmen refused to stop, of women emotionally wrecked from the trauma of nearly missing a platform or street, and women barred from first class ladies' cars because of the color of their skin - Barbara Welke offers a dramatic reconsideration of the critical role railroads, and streetcars, played in transforming the conditions of individual liberty at the dawn of the twentieth century. The three-part narrative, focusing on the law of accidental injury, nervous shock, and racial segregation in public transit, captures Americans' journey from a cultural and legal ethos celebrating manly independence and autonomy to one that recognized and sought to protect the individual against the dangers of modern life. Gender and race become central to the transformation charted here, as much as the forces of corporate power, modern technology and urban space.

Book Description
Excerpt from Railway and Other Accidents: With Relation to Injury and Disease of the Nervous System, a Book for Court Use, With Fifteen Plates, Two Superimposed Charts and Thirty-Six Illustrations This work is intended for Doctors of Medicine as well as for Lawyers, and especially for use in court. The author, whose experience in connection with accident cases has during the past thirty years been somewhat extensive, believes that a book of this kind and scope will be acceptable to those who have hitherto been obliged to rely upon treatises which have taken one extreme view or the other as to the side of the plaintiff or defendant. The author aims to be always just, and, while attacking fraud on the one hand and on the other giving due prominence to the incapacitating effects of real injury, seeks to show in hysterical and unconsciously exaggerated cases where the neurotic predisposition exists, just how much the accident has to do with the alleged suffering and future condition of the litigant. In this attempt the patient's proper claims are protected while at the same time an effort is made to prevent the railway from being mulcted, or, at least, to show that it is not entirely accountable. The time has certainly come for some one who is initiated, and has sufficient knowledge, to urge the proper and honest presentation of medical facts in court by the plaintiff as well as the defendant, for it does not do to pervert medical truths which in their way are quite as well settled as the axioms of the law. It is the author's aim to present his material as simply as possible, and to avoid involved statements and discussion.
