Five Years’ Experience in the New Cure of Consumption by Its Own Virus: Presumably on a Line with the Method of Koch (1890)

James Compton Burnett,Robert Koch

""Five Years' Experience in the New Cure of Consumption by Its Own Virus: Presumably on a Line with the Method of Koch"" is a book written by James Compton Burnett and published in 1890. The book describes Burnett's experiences in treating patients suffering from tuberculosis using a new method that he claims is similar to the method developed by Robert Koch. Burnett uses the term ""own virus"" to refer to the bacteria that cause tuberculosis, and he suggests that by injecting patients with a diluted form of this virus, he is able to stimulate their immune systems to fight off the disease. The book includes case studies of patients who were successfully treated using this method, as well as discussions of the scientific principles behind the treatment. Overall, ""Five Years' Experience in the New Cure of Consumption by Its Own Virus"" is a pioneering work in the field of tuberculosis treatment, and it provides valuable insights into the history of medical science.Illustrated By Fifty-Four Cases.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
