About this book

Treatment of Cholera In the Royal Hospital, Haslar during the months of July and August, 1849, with remarks on the name and origin of the disease is a detailed medical account authored by A. M. McWilliam, M.D., chronicling the outbreak and management of cholera at the Royal Hospital, Haslar, during the summer of 1849. Drawing from firsthand observations and clinical records, Dr. McWilliam meticulously documents the symptoms, progression, and outcomes of cholera cases treated at the hospital, providing valuable insights into the prevailing medical practices of the mid-19th century. The book delves into the various therapeutic approaches employed, including the use of saline solutions, opiates, and supportive care, while also critically evaluating their effectiveness based on patient outcomes. Beyond the clinical narrative, the author offers a comprehensive discussion on the etymology and historical understanding of cholera, tracing its origins and the evolution of medical theories regarding its transmission and pathology. Dr. McWilliam examines contemporary debates about the contagiousness of the disease, the role of environmental factors, and the influence of social conditions on its spread. The work is enriched with statistical tables, case studies, and comparative analyses, making it a significant contribution to the medical literature of the time. Intended for physicians, medical students, and public health officials, this book not only serves as a practical guide for the treatment of cholera but also as a thoughtful reflection on the challenges faced by the medical community during one of the most devastating epidemics of the 19th century. Through its blend of empirical observation and scholarly inquiry, Treatment of Cholera In the Royal Hospital, Haslar remains an important historical document, shedding light on the evolution of epidemic management and the enduring quest to understand and combat infectious diseases.
