What Our Customers Say...

Description

Rebound, Very Scarce

The very scarce second edition of this work.

A fascinating scientific treatise, focusing on the presentation and remedy on pulmonary consumption.

During the nineteenth century consumption was a common illness, due to tuberculosis becoming epidemic in Europe. It was considered to be a somewhat romantic disease, it being popular amongst artists, and a high killer of young people.

By John Murray, a science writer and scriptural geologist, a fellow of the Society of Antiquities and the Geological Society of London.

Half-title is present.

Five pages of publisher's adverts to the rear.
