Researches To Establish The Truth Of The Linnaean Doctrine Of Animate Contagions (1831) - Adam Neale - Bog

Researches To Establish The Truth Of The Linnaean Doctrine Of Animate Contagions, written by Adam Neale and originally published in 1831, is a scientific work that delves into the concept of contagious diseases. The book is a collection of research and experiments conducted by Neale to support the Linnaean doctrine, which posits that diseases can be transmitted through living organisms or animate contagions. Neale's work is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of the theory of animate contagions. He begins by examining the history of the theory, tracing its origins back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. He then moves on to discuss the different types of contagions, including those that are transmitted through the air, water, and other means. Throughout the book, Neale presents a wealth of scientific evidence to support his arguments, including case studies, experiments, and observations. He also addresses common objections to the theory of animate contagions, such as the idea that diseases are caused by miasma or bad air. In addition to its scientific content, Researches To Establish The Truth Of The Linnaean Doctrine Of Animate Contagions is notable for its clear and accessible writing style. Neale takes great care to explain complex scientific concepts in a way that is easy for non-experts to understand, making the book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine or the science of disease transmission.Wherein The Origin, Causes, Mode Of Diffusion, And Cure, Of Epidemic Diseases, Spasmodic Cholera, Dysentery, Plague, Small Pox, Hooping Cough, Leprosy, Etc., Are Illustrated By Facts From The Natural History Of Mankind, Of Animals, And Of Vegetables, And From The Phenomena Of The Atmosphere.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
