The Causes and Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis

A compelling read for medical historians and curious minds alike. “The Causes and Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis” by Samuel Hyde is a fascinating glimpse into the medical thinking of the late 19th century. With a blend of clinical observation and theoretical reflection, Hyde explores what physicians of his time believed to be the root causes of rheumatoid arthritis—ranging from environmental influences to nervous system imbalances—and outlines treatments that include diet, lifestyle changes, and various early physiotherapeutic approaches. While modern readers may find the science outdated, the book offers a rich historical insight into how this painful and complex condition was once understood and managed.
"The Causes and Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1896.
