A History of Epidemic Cholera: As It Appeared at the Baltimore City and County Alms House, in the Summer of 1849 is a book written by Thomas Hepburn Buckler and first published in 1851. The book is a historical account of the cholera epidemic that occurred in Baltimore in the summer of 1849, with a focus on the impact of the disease on the city's alms house. Buckler provides a detailed description of the symptoms and progression of cholera, as well as the various treatments that were attempted during the epidemic. He also explores the social and economic factors that contributed to the spread of the disease, including poor sanitation and overcrowded living conditions. The book is based on Buckler's personal experiences as a physician who worked at the alms house during the epidemic, and includes firsthand accounts of the suffering and death that he witnessed. Buckler also includes statistical data and analysis of the cholera outbreak, as well as comparisons to other epidemics that occurred in the United States and Europe during the 19th century. Overall, A History of Epidemic Cholera provides a valuable historical perspective on a devastating disease that had a significant impact on public health and society in the 19th century.With Some Remarks On The Medical Topography And Diseases Of This Region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
