Excerpt from Cases of Chickamauga Typhoid Treated at the Maine General Hospital: A Paper Read Before the Maine Medical Association, June 7, 1899The object sought by this paper is to place on record the clinical experience derived from an association with certain cases of typhoid occurring among the men of our Maine Regi ment of Volunteers during August and September of 1898. Such experience from the management of any considerable num ber of these cases came only to physicians in the army service, or to those who occupied hospital positions in localities favor able for their reception, and while to the physician who began his practice in the sixties, or before, these cases would perhaps have exhibited little that was unique or unusual, yet because they presented an extreme type of typhoid not usually met with by the younger generation in domestic practice, it has seemed to the writer that there is an obligation upon those of us who had any unusual opportunities for observation, to util ize them and their results for general information. No attempt will be made to give a detailed description of cases that would be the least useful method of presenting the conclusions drawn.Although in number the cases were comparatively few, there was ample opportunity of studying them by approved clinical methods and under the most favorable circumstances which a well equipped hospital organization affords.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
