By Arthur F. Hurst

Book Overview

This vintage book contains a complete guide to medical diseases and ailments relating to war. Based on the author's extensive experience in the field, this handbook contains a wealth of information that will be of utility to modern doctors and medical staff. Although old, much of the information contained herein is timeless, making this both a useful resource and a great addition to collections of antiquarian literature. Contents include: "Neuroses Resulting from Emotions", "Shell-shock", "Conditions Predisposing to the Development of Special Symptoms", "Motor Disorders", "Disorders of Speech", "Infective and Other Disorders", "Epidemic Jaundice", "Tetanus", "Gas-Poisoning", etcetera. Many antiquarian texts such as this, especially those dating back to the 1900s and before, are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. This volume was first published in 1918.
