Excerpt from The Diseases of China: Their Causes, Conditions, and Prevalence Contrasted, With Those of Europe The climate and physical features of a country, and the food and the diseases which depend thereupon and which destroy or impair vitality, are the principal influences directing the development of the permanent characters of a race, and the chief agents consequently by which race is propagated and type constituted. Physiological peculiarities are more acquired than primitively impressed. The acquired and transmitted qualities, with the existing social customs, are amply sufficient factors for the production of every variety or degree of vitality which may distinguish any race. These peculiarities affecting stature, health, and duration of life are more dependent upon the combined influences of food and customs, acting through many ages, than mere climate alone. Simple hygienic precautions which we find efficacious in one country are useful in others, and with proper attention to such rules the deadly effects of climate disappear. The cultivation of temperance in all things, general soberness of life, and all else that would prove useful to us in Europe in enabling us to remain vigorous to resist malign influences, is of equal value to us in the East. We are in the habit of speaking of a certain invariableness in the type of disease - like causes producing like effects - that disease retains this type in all forms of civilisation, in all climes and all ages. Very few diseases have appeared, very few have disappeared. Some have become graver in certain localities, countries, and civilisations than others, but sporadic cases of any disease assume the same type as the same disease in its epidemic or endemic form. Although this is undoubtedly -true, it is nevertheless also true that many diseases which were either rare or almost unknown have sprung into notoriety and have assumed severer forms, and have added greatly to our mortality bills.

Excerpt from The Diseases of China, Including Formosa and Korea It is necessary to emphasise that this book is not in any sense intended to be a general text-book of medicine, nor even to cover the whole ground of the diseases met with in China. Some of these, such as phthisis, pneumonia, and so forth, differ clinically in no respects from the same diseases as encountered in the West, and are therefore left untouched or only treated from the standpoint of their distribution or otherwise merely alluded to in these pages. Our aim is to present to medical men working in China, both Chinese and foreign, a concise account of the special diseases they will meet with in their own practice in this empire. A complete account of many of these diseases might be obtained from the voluminous literature of tropical medicine, and of most of those remaining from general medical literature. We present them in one volume of a reasonable size and with constant and special reference to their modifications as brought about by the hygienic habits and the racial peculiarities of the people of China, and draw our illustrative cases from practice among the same. It has been possible only to allude here and there to questions and studies arising out of this vast and promising field for comparative medical research, the disproval and establishment of medical theories by reference and comparison with the conditions and findings under widely differing civilisations. Such questions are raised under discussion of the etiology of beri-beri, the relation of carcinoma and gout, plague infection, and at many other points, but we would emphasize that this field is enormous in possibilities for future usefulness and would warrant the attention of special research workers. This work is illustrated very largely by photographs of diseased conditions among the Chinese; most of them being of our own taking and the majority having never been published. A certain number have appeared only in the China Medical Journal. Others have been taken, with permission, from recent works on pathology, parasitology, tropical medicine, and so forth, and acknowledgement is made in the text. Complete acknowledgement has been made as far as possible of all sources of outside information and illustration in the text of the book.
