George Miller Sternberg

Immunity, Protective Inoculations In Infectious Diseases And Serum-Therapy is a book written by George Miller Sternberg and published in 1895. The book is a comprehensive study of the concept of immunity, protective inoculations, and serum therapy in infectious diseases. The author begins by discussing the history of immunology and the various theories that have been proposed over the years. He then goes on to explain the different types of immunity, including natural and acquired immunity, and the role of the immune system in protecting the body from infectious diseases.Sternberg also delves into the topic of protective inoculations, which involves the deliberate exposure of an individual to a weakened or dead pathogen in order to stimulate an immune response and provide immunity against the disease. He provides detailed information on the various types of vaccines, their effectiveness, and the risks associated with them.In addition, the book covers the use of serum therapy, which involves the administration of antibodies to a patient to treat or prevent infectious diseases. Sternberg explains the history of serum therapy, the different types of sera that are available, and the methods used to produce them.Overall, Immunity, Protective Inoculations In Infectious Diseases And Serum-Therapy is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and science of immunology, as well as those involved in the development and administration of vaccines and serum therapies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
