Diseases Of Modern Life (1882)

""Diseases of Modern Life"" is a book written by Benjamin Ward Richardson in 1882. The book examines the various diseases and health issues that were prevalent during the Victorian era, which were thought to be caused by the rapidly changing lifestyles and technological advancements of the time. Richardson argues that the modern way of life, with its emphasis on sedentary work, poor diet, and lack of exercise, was responsible for a range of illnesses, from obesity and diabetes to heart disease and mental health problems. The book also explores the impact of pollution and industrialization on public health, and offers practical advice on how to prevent and treat these diseases. ""Diseases of Modern Life"" is an important historical document that sheds light on the medical and social issues of the Victorian era, and remains relevant today as we continue to grapple with the consequences of our modern lifestyle choices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
