The Pedigree of Disease is a book written by Jonathan Hutchinson in 1885. It consists of six lectures that focus on the topics of temperament, idiosyncrasy, and diathesis. The author explores how these factors contribute to the development of various diseases and conditions, and how they can be passed down through generations in families. Hutchinson also discusses the importance of understanding one's own temperament and idiosyncrasies in order to prevent or manage illnesses. The book is a valuable resource for medical professionals, as well as anyone interested in the history of medicine and the study of genetics.Delivered In The Theater Of The Royal College Of Surgeons In The Session Of 1881.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
