The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.

The Institutions of Medicinal Pathology 1st Table of contents:

I. General Principles of Pathology:

• Definition and Scope of Pathology: What is pathology? Its aims and methods.
• Causes of Disease (Aetiology):
  • Predisposing causes (e.g., constitution, temperament, age, sex, climate, lifestyle).
  • Exciting causes (e.g., diet, external agents, poisons, infections – though the germ theory was not yet established, the idea of external morbific agents was present).
  • Internal causes (e.g., derangement of humors, vital forces, or solid parts).
• Nature of Disease:
  • Classification of diseases (e.g., fevers, inflammations, chronic diseases).
  • Symptoms and Signs (Semeiotics): How to observe and interpret them.
  • Prognosis: Foretelling the course and outcome of disease.
• Health and Disease: The balance and imbalance of bodily functions and structures.

II. Pathological States of the Body:

• Pathology of the Humors:
  • Blood: Alterations in its quantity, quality, circulation.
  • Lymph and other fluids: Their role in health and disease.
  • Secretions and Excretions: Changes in sweat, urine, bile, etc., as indicators of disease.
• Pathology of the Solids (Organic Pathology):
  • Tension and Laxity of Fibers: Gaubius placed a strong emphasis on the “chemical skeleton” and the cohesion of bodily parts.
  • Inflammation: Its signs, causes, and consequences.
  • Tumors and Swellings.
  • Ulcers and Wounds.
  • Obstructions and Concretions.
• General Affections:
  • Fevers: Types, stages, and treatment.
  • Pain: Its various manifestations and significance.
  • Spasms and Convulsions.

III. Specific Diseases (Organized by System or Type):

• This section would delve into individual diseases, applying the general principles discussed earlier to specific conditions. The exact categorization might vary, but it would likely cover:
  • Diseases of the Brain and Nervous System.
  • Diseases of the Thorax (Lungs, Heart).
  • Diseases of the Abdomen (Digestive Organs, Liver, Spleen, Kidneys).
  • Diseases of the Glands.
  • Diseases of the Skin.
  • Contagious Diseases (often referred to as pestilential or epidemic diseases).

IV. General Therapeutics (Treatment Principles):

• While primarily a work on pathology, it would likely include overarching principles of medical intervention, such as:
  • Diet and Regimen.
  • Medicines (general classes and their actions).
  • Surgical interventions (if applicable to medical pathology).
