A Hereditary Consumptive's Successful Battle For Life (1892)

A Hereditary Consumptive's Successful Battle For Life is a memoir written by James Monroe Buckley and originally published in 1892. The book tells the story of Buckley's struggle with tuberculosis, which he contracted due to a hereditary predisposition to the disease. Despite the odds against him, Buckley was able to overcome the illness through a combination of medical treatment, healthy living, and a strong will to survive. The book is divided into two parts. The first part describes Buckley's early life and his experiences with tuberculosis, including his diagnosis, the various treatments he received, and the impact of the disease on his personal and professional life. The second part details his successful battle against the illness, including his decision to move to a healthier climate, his adoption of a strict diet and exercise regimen, and his eventual recovery.Throughout the book, Buckley emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for one's own health and well-being, and he offers practical advice on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. He also reflects on the spiritual and philosophical aspects of his experience, and the role that faith played in his recovery.A Hereditary Consumptive's Successful Battle For Life is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the medical practices and cultural attitudes of the late 19th century, as well as a compelling personal story of resilience and determination in the face of illness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
