Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a critical analysis of research conducted in the mid to late 1800s, specifically the work of Dr. William Stokes and his colleagues at the Meath Hospital, in Dublin, Ireland. The author provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the medical practices and prevailing theories in fever treatment from the 1830s to the 1860s, particularly regarding the administration of wine and blood transfusions. Dr. Stokes' primary research focused on the observation that essential fevers lead to a spontaneous and favorable termination, but the process can be complicated by a malignant influence that attacks the body's powers. This influence can induce a state of debility that can lead to the patient's death. To combat this debility, Stokes emphasized the administration of wine, food, and other stimulants to support the patient until the natural termination of the disease. The author thoroughly examines the use of wine in treating typhus fever, exploring the relationship between the patient's pulse, the force of the heart, and the character of its sounds to determine the appropriate dosage and timing of wine administration as a treatment for typhus fever. This research led to the development of important rules of practice, including the observation that when the pulse either does not come down or increases in frequency under the influence of wine, a bad prognosis should be expected. The author's analysis of Dr. Stokes' work highlights the evolution of medical thought in the 19th century and provides valuable insights into the historical development of fever treatment practices. This book is a valuable resource for medical historians and anyone interested in the evolution of medicine during the 1800s.
