Synopsis

Excerpt from Rickets: A Study of Economic Conditions and Their Effects on the Health of the Nation, in Two Parts Combined in One Volume, Freely Illustrated

IN the study of disease there are two ways in which the subject may be approached, firstly, as it affects the indi vidual, and secondly, as it affects the community of which the individual forms a part. In ordinary practice, there is a danger of considering morbid states simply as they affect patients and of forgetting the larger issue.

There is a national pathology as well as a clinical entity which can be summarised as a definite morbid state affect ing the individual. This national tendency to disease is acted upon by numerous and diverse factors. Race, climate, economic conditions and environment, diet and customs, all produce wide variations.

In the enthusiasm which followed the discoveries of Pasteur, Lister and Koch, the study of the microbic environ ment of man led to a wide and wholesome broadening of the outlook on the factors which produce disease, and on the steps necessary for the purposes of prevention and cure.
