The Pedigree Of Disease - Jonathan Hutchinson - Bog

""The Pedigree of Disease"" is a book written by Jonathan Hutchinson and published in 1885. The book consists of six lectures that focus on the topics of temperament, idiosyncrasy, and diathesis, which are all factors that contribute to the development of disease. Hutchinson explores the idea that certain traits and characteristics inherited from ancestors can predispose individuals to certain diseases. He also discusses how environmental factors can interact with these inherited traits to further increase the likelihood of disease development. The lectures are based on Hutchinson's extensive experience as a physician and his observations of patients over many years. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine and the development of ideas about disease causation.Delivered In The Theater Of The Royal College Of Surgeons In The Session Of 1881.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
