| Summary | "Asiatic Cholera: A Treatise on its Origin, Pathology, Treatment, and Cure" by E. Whitney, M.D., and A.B. Whitney, A.M., M.D. is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of cholera, discussing its origins, the pathological changes it causes in the human body, and various treatment approaches employed throughout history. This work aims to enhance understanding of cholera and to propose practical methods for combating this deadly disease, which has devastated populations worldwide. The opening of the treatise lays the groundwork for a detailed examination of cholera by addressing its historical scourge through vivid examples of past epidemics. The authors delve into the disease's early descriptions, highlighting significant outbreaks and their catastrophic effects on populations. They explore theories regarding the origins of cholera, presenting the notion of a specific disease-poison and analyzing various environmental factors that might have contributed to its spread. Overall, the introduction emphasizes the urgent need for effective treatment strategies, setting the stage for a deeper investigation into the disease's pathology and the approaches to its management.
