Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the author's premise that consumption, or tuberculosis, is a disease resulting from a reduction in breathing capacity over time through means such as inactivity and constriction of the lungs, and that this disease and its severe outcomes can be prevented. The author first examines many of the prevailing theories of his time as to the causes of consumption, ultimately suggesting that the most widely accepted theory - that it is caused by the Bacillus tuberculosis - is flawed because it cannot account for all cases of the disease. The author then goes on to present evidence supporting his theory of the cause of consumption, arguing that current medical thinking around the causes of the disease is flawed and leading to increased instances of the disease, rather than reduction. This book is a significant contribution to the field of pulmonary medicine, advocating for a shift in the way the medical profession and society as a whole views the causes and treatment of consumption. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
