Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Josiah Clark Nott (1804 1873) was an American physician and surgeon. He was also an author of surgical, yellow fever, and race theories. Josiah Nott was born in South Carolina, son of the Federalist politician and judge Abraham Nott. He received his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1827 and completed his post-graduate training in Paris, France. He moved to Mobile, Alabama in 1833 and began a surgical practice. Nott took up theories that the mosquito was a vector for malaria, held by John Crawford and his contemporary Lewis Daniel Beauperthy. He is credited as being the first to apply the insect vector theory to yellow fever, then a serious health problem of the American South. In his 1850 Yellow Fever Contrasted with Bilious Fever he attacked the prevailing miasma theory. Nott lost four of his own children to yellow fever in September 1853.
