Memoir On The Diseases Called By The People The Trembles And The Sick Stomach Or Milk Sickness PDF Download

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Cause of the Disease Called by the People the Milk-Sickness: As It Occurs in the Western and Southern States We have in the disease which I intend to consider in this paper one that often prevails in many localities throughout the Western and Southern members of the United States, and which, in most of its features, presents a most unrelenting and fatal character: hovering as it does over many fair portions of our otherwise happy and delightful country, it lights upon the inhabitants of those regions, and sits like a blighting curse upon the ground, calling to our remembrance the fearful visitations of the Almighty's condemning judgments in days of yore, upon the hardened and relentless hosts of Pharaoh. The milk-sickness or endemic sick stomach, has for a long while been familiarly known to the inhabitants of many localities through out the Western and Southern States, and has annually destroyed the lives of many of the settlers in those districts, together with the lives of immense numbers of the inferior animals of various kinds, which constitute an important part of the pecuniary wealth of western and southern farmers.
