A historical novel of prejudice and plague, The Scourges of Heaven sweeps gracefully, joyfully, painfully across centuries and generations. Through Cynthia Anne Ferguson, orphaned aboard a vessel carrying immigrants, hopes, dreams, and cholera from the Old World to the New, David Dick paints a world where the causes of disease are little understood, where faith is not always a comfort, where human questioning often goes unanswered, and where unexpected death is frequently attributed to the wrath of an angry God. Cynthia's story unfolds in the midst of the first of four great cholera epidemics to sweep America in the mid-nineteenth century, and her journey through life, from New Orleans up the Mississippi and Ohio rivers and across the Bluegrass to Lexington, parallels the track followed by the deadly scourge. More powerfully told than any factual, statistical, or scientific account could ever manage, yet based upon historical events, this tale of disease, ignorance, and narrow-mindedness is supported by a central theme of hope that ultimately brings redemption.

In this book, eleven scholars “take their stand” on the controversial issue of disease as it occurs in the context of the American South. Playing on the popular vision of the South as an ill region on several levels, the European and American contributors interpret various aspects of the regional “sickly” culture as not so much southern “problems”, but, rather, southern opportunities, or else, springboards to yet another of the South’s cultural revitalizations, “health”. As Thomas Ærvold Bjerre and Beata Zawadka note in their introduction, the so-called “Healthy South” has never been an easy topic for scholars dealing with the region. One reason for this is that researchers have been taught to approach so formulated a topic no further than to the point when it turns out it is a contradiction in terms, and, indeed, there is much in southern history and the present situation that justifies such an approach. This volume, however, comprises a collective effort of southernist historians, literature experts, and culture critics to transcend the “contradictory” concept of the “Healthy South,” and does so by reinventing the notion of the southern disease and, consequently, the role of the South as a “scourge” in American culture in terms of this culture’s bountiful gift.

Smallpox, the only infectious disease to have been eradicated, was one of the most terrifying of human scourges. It covered the skin with hideous, painful boils, killed a third of its victims, & left the survivors disfigured for life. Here is the story of this deadly disease, the heroic efforts to eradicate it, & the looming dangers it still poses today. The smallpox virus afflicted rich & poor, royalty & commoners, & repeatedly altered the course of human history, as when the Spanish conquistadors brought it to the New World where it decimated the indigenous pop's. In 1796 Edward Jenner developed a vaccine against smallpox, which caused it to eventually disappear in industrialized countries. But lab. stocks of the virus still exist, & clandestine stocks pose a mil. threat.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1879 edition. Excerpt: ... ZYMOTIC PLEUROPNEUMONIA. Abbbeviations--viz., Zy. p. p., indicating Zymotic Pleuro-Pneumonia; P. p., Sporadic Pleuro-Pneumonia; and P. h., Purpura Hemorrhagica--will be used for the sake of brevity. Synonyms.--Technically, we have Pleuro-Pneumonia Epizootica; P. p. Contagiosa; Exudative p. p. Provincially: Lung Disease, or Lung 111; Distemper; Pleura; Jig; Tick; Goat; Gasper. Of the technical synonyms of this disease, I prefer that of P. p. epizootica; or, as I shall hereafter speak of it, P. p. zymotica. Of the provincial synonyms, lung disease is most frequently used, and it certainly is the most expressive. Distemper is applied also to the disease in many parts of the Midland Counties. The other terms are simply of a slang nature, and are used by common butchers. Goat is nearly always employed to designate the disease in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh; and those who are engaged in the traffic of the diseased flesh are known as " goat hunters," or "blockade runners "--the latter term signifying that they have to run the gauntlet of inspection; "goat" is further distinguished as wet and dry--the former implying that there is a large amount of effusion into the chest and the tissues; the latter, that there is an absence of effusion. "Gasper" is applied to those cases in which gasping for breath is a prominent symptom. Definition.--It is an insidious, exudative zymotic disease, due to a specific poison or ferment, pecufiar to the ox, and having its local manifestations concentrated in the lungs and pleura. Characters.--P. p. zy. is indigenous in the ox alone; so far as I am aware, it is never developed in any other animal; neither, in my experience, is it transmissible to any other animal. Some authorities have asserted that they have...
