Description
Yellow fever emptied ports and killed armies, and until Carlos Finlay proposed the mosquito in 1881 nobody could say how it spread. What physicians could do was watch: who fell ill, in what order, in what weather, near what water. These reflections and observations record exactly that — a clinical account written inside an epidemic by men with no theory adequate to it. The contagion-versus-miasma dispute runs through the whole text, and both sides are wrong in instructive ways. This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1828 edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
