Physician and diagnostician William Morgan worked in the late 19th
century: this book offers an understanding of diabetes mellitus in
his time. Although many of the diagnostic tenets and symptoms of
diabetes were discovered and known, the methods of treating the
illness were sorely lacking. The discovery of insulin was decades
away; as such the remedies noted within this text are obsolete -
chemical concoctions consisting of ingredients like Sulphur, opium,
phosphates, and the inhalation of oxygen gas. A chapter is devoted
to now-discredited homeopathic treatments. While the general
symptoms of the illness are known, distinctions between Type 1 and
Type 2 diabetes was mpt. The author notes the connection of
diabetes with sugar, and is able to make recommendations with
respect to dietary intake and nutrition that carry some relevance
to the modern-day clinic. Recipes are appended, attested by other
physicians as favorable. Overwhelmingly however, we find 19th
century medicine lacking for diabetes.
