A vital, long-lost voice on a disease that shaped the 19th century rediscover Edward Delafield s landmark inquiry into pulmonary consumption. This An Inaugural Dissertation On Pulmonary Consumption presents Delafield s meticulous observations and early theories on tuberculosis, offering readers a rare window into historical medical research at a pivotal moment in pulmonology.
