Alcohol’s impact on recovery from consumption is explained in clear, cautions terms.
This volume explains how alcoholic drinks can disrupt nutrition, blood flow, and lung healing. It ties drink use to tissue changes, liver fatty degeneration, and increased lung inflammation, helping readers understand why alcohol is not a friend to someone with consumption.
Readers will see how alcohol may interfere with digestion and blood formation, and how it can aggravate circulatory and nervous-system effects. The work also cites authorities to support its cautions about alcohol’s role in worsening disease and delaying recovery.
Ideal for readers seeking a historical medical viewpoint on how alcohol interacts with consumption and recovery.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a radical treatment for consumption developed by the author, a medical doctor. Tuberculosis, known today as consumption, was a leading cause of death in the latter half of the 19th century, when the medical community's understanding of the disease's progression and causes was still very limited. The author proposes that the efficacy of the then-popular remedies, such as cod liver oil and alcohol, was greatly overstated and he suggests nitric and muriatic acids as a treatment instead. He presents a series of patient case studies to illustrate the benefits of his treatment, and the book goes into great depth about his rationale, the various agents' mechanism of action, and the chemical interactions taking place within the human body. The author also touches on the deleterious impact on a patient's mental health as the disease takes hold. This book challenged the status quo in treating consumption and offered a new perspective on the disease and its treatment.
