Clinical Observations On The Constitutional Origin Of The Various Forms Of Porrigo (1833)

By George Macilwain

Book Overview

Clinical Observations On The Constitutional Origin Of The Various Forms Of Porrigo is a medical book written by George Macilwain in 1833. The book is focused on the study of Porrigo, a skin disease characterized by the formation of pustules or scabs on the scalp, face, or other parts of the body. Macilwain presents his observations on the different forms of Porrigo and their constitutional origins. He argues that the disease is not purely local but is a result of a constitutional disorder that affects the whole body. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of the disease. Macilwain's observations are based on his clinical experience and his study of the medical literature of the time. The book provides a valuable insight into the understanding of Porrigo in the early 19th century and is still relevant to the study of dermatology today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
