Explore the history and science of yellow fever through a detailed nineteenth‑century study. It examines how the disease behaves, how it spreads, and what early researchers believed about contagion, climate, and local origin.
Through careful analysis of cases, climate effects, and the role of environment, this edition lays out arguments about non‑contagion and the factors that make certain places more prone to outbreaks. It also delves into practical topics like prevention, treatment, and public health responses of the era, offering a window into how medicine approached a global fever long before modern germ theory.
Ideal for readers interested in medical history, public health, and the evolution of theories about yellow fever.

This book examines the historical, pathological, and etiological factors related to yellow fever, including a detailed account of the disease as it has manifested in Philadelphia from 1699 to 1854. Exploring its complex causes, the author examines the roles of temperament, age, race, climate, and infection in the development and spread of yellow fever, with a special focus on the concept of acclimatization and the degree to which it protects individuals from infection. The author explores immunity to the disease that results from both acclimatization and having had the disease in the past.
