📓 First published in 1926, this volume contains a classic treatise on disease, exploring its nature, science, symptomatology, treatments, and much more with reference to psychiatry and the mind. "The Meaning of Disease" will appeal to those with an interest in psychology, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Contents include: "Disease", "Science", "Fundamental Concepts", "Man's Place in Nature", "Action and Reaction", "Disease and Adaptation", "Reversibility and Irreversibility", "Disease and Reversibility", "The Symptoms of Disease", "The Language of Disease", and "Summary".

Other works by this author include: "Mental Mechanisms" (1911), "Outlines of Psychiatry" (1915), and "Diseases of the Nervous System" (1915). Many vintage books like this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now complete with the original text and artwork for the enjoyment of readers now and for years to come.
