On Infective and 'contagium' Diseases and Parasites in Man and Animals, by Dr. Acland and On the Rot

This volume combines lectures by Dr. Henry Wentworth Acland on infective and 'contagium' diseases and parasites in man and animals with lectures by A.P. Thomas on 'the rot or parasitic liver disease' in sheep. A valuable historical snapshot of 19th-century medical and veterinary understanding, these lectures offer insights into the prevailing theories and observations regarding the causes and transmission of diseases. Both sections provide detailed observations on the conditions discussed, reflecting the scientific methods and knowledge of the period. This book is an essential resource for historians of medicine, veterinary science, and anyone interested in the evolution of disease understanding.
