Intestinal Ills: Chronic Constipation, Indigestion, Autogenetic Poisons, Diarrhea, Piles, Etc. Also Auto-Infection, Auto-Intoxication, Anemia, Emaciation, Etc. Due to Proctitis and Colitis is a comprehensive medical treatise by Alcinous Burton Jamison, M.D., exploring the intricate relationship between intestinal health and a wide array of chronic ailments. Drawing from clinical experience and contemporary medical knowledge of the early 20th century, Dr. Jamison delves into the causes, symptoms, and consequences of disorders such as chronic constipation, indigestion, diarrhea, and hemorrhoids, emphasizing their connection to inflammation of the rectum and colon (proctitis and colitis). The book meticulously examines the concept of autogenetic poisons-harmful substances generated within the body due to improper intestinal function-and their role in auto-infection and auto-intoxication. Dr. Jamison discusses how these internal toxins can lead to systemic conditions like anemia, emaciation, nervous disorders, and general debility. He provides detailed descriptions of the pathological processes involved, highlighting the importance of intestinal hygiene and the dangers of neglecting bowel health. In addition to outlining the symptoms and complications of intestinal ills, the author offers practical advice on diagnosis, prevention, and treatment, including dietary recommendations, lifestyle modifications, and therapeutic interventions. The book also addresses the psychological and social impacts of chronic digestive disorders, advocating for a holistic approach to patient care. Rich in case studies, medical observations, and practical guidance, Intestinal Ills serves as both a historical document and a resource for understanding the foundational theories of gastrointestinal medicine. It reflects the medical thinking of its time while offering insights that remain relevant to those interested in the history of medicine, digestive health, and the interplay between the gut and overall well-being.
