DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from A Treatise on Hygiene and Public Health, Vol. 2 The first author who studied the relation between the habitual occupation of men and their physical and mental health was Bernardini Ramazzini, who published a treatise, De morbis artificum, at Padua, in 1713. The work seems to have attracted immediate attention, for we find another edition published at Geneva in 1717, and it was followed by treatises in French, being itself translated into the latter language in 1777, by Fourcroy. The work of Ramazzini is even now a striking one, both on account of its fulness of treatment and its intensely pessimistic views of the condition of the artisan. This extremely melancholy view of the effect of occupation on the health has been attributed, and probably with truth, to the fact that he did not sufficiently distinguish between the direct effect of the occupation and the influence of the home surroundings and food. The elimination of outside influences is not even now an easy one, and still it is evidently unscientific and unproductive of any good result whatever to describe as due to the occupation diseases whose prevalence is mainly caused by bad food, insufficient sleep, or bad ventilation or drainage. The diseases fairly chargeable to the occupation of an individual are those which can be traced to the conditions under which he works, the strain or effort to which special organs are subjected, and the actual contact with substances which produce changes by reason of their mechanical or chemical qualities. Thus, he may be constantly obliged to work in a room where the air is filled with dust, vapors, or gases of an irritating or poisonous nature, or he may be necessarily exposed to great heat, cold, or wet, or to sudden variations of temperature. He may develop certain muscles at the expense of others, and so produce deformities of various kinds, as humpback, subluxations, bandy-legs, knock-knees, etc., or a strain upon particular organs may cause disease of those organs, as visual, cerebral, or laryngeal troubles. The contact with chemical irritants may cause cutaneous disease or actual poisoning, and the mechanical irritation of tools, etc., by intermittent pressure, will produce callosities and bursae. Excessive effort may cause hernias or heart disease, rupture of muscular fibres, or even fractures of bones. And, under peculiar conditions not well understood, incessant use of a particular set of muscles in a certain way may bring on a spasm or cramp, which prevents their further use in that particular manner, and forces the patient to change his occupation.
