Excerpt from Medical Notes on Climate, Diseases, Hospitals, and Medical Schools, in France, Italy, and Switzerland Letter addressed to John Forbes, M. D., Secretary of the Royal Geological Society of Cornwall, and Physician to the Penzance Dispensary. Dear Sir, I Herewith, at length, transmit you the concluding portion of my notes on the Climate, Diseases, and Medical Practice of those places on the Continent which I have hitherto visited; and when I take a review of them thus finished, and such as they are to meet the eye of the Public, I confess to you that the sense of their unworthiness, which I originally urged as a motive for my declining to publish them when this measure was first suggested by yourself, presses on my mind more than ever. The die is however now cast, and all that remains for me, thus placed upon the stage, is to make the best excuse I can, first, for my appearance there at all, and secondly, for the indifferent part which I am apprehensive my Auditors and Judges may consider me as performing. I have therefore to request that you will affix this Letter by way of Preface to my Book, without addition or diminution.

"Few diseases have been more inextricably linked with our past than tuberculosis. The ancient Greeks called it phthisis or consumption, names still familiar in the early twentieth century. They knew that coughing up or spitting of blood were bad signs. Through the Medieval Period to the modern day, Helen Bynum explores the history and development of TB throughout the world, touching on the various discoveries that have emerged about the disease, and focusing on the clinical and experimental approaches of Rene Laennec (1781-1826) and Robert Koch (1842-1910). Therapies included miraculous touching, bleeding, travel, vaccines, sanatoria, open-air therapy, and surgery, although none proved successful. A real cure finally arrived after World War II, with anti-tuberculosis drugs, characterizing a new optimism about science, health, and society. Although concerns about TB faded away in the mid-twentieth century, the disease has now returned with a vengeance. Bynum describes the emerging picture from the World Health Organization of the difficulties in managing new drug-resistant forms of the disease that have established themselves in the developing world, and in poorer parts of large cities worldwide. The story of tuberculosis, it seems, is far from over."--
