1748
An Account of the Sore Throat Attended with Ulcers, published in 1748 by John Fothergill, is a pioneering medical treatise that examines a severe throat disease emerging in London, now associated with diphtheria. Fothergill meticulously documents the disease's symptoms, including fever and throat ulcers, and emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis to prevent mismanagement. He critiques traditional treatments of the time and advocates for more humane, supportive care approaches. This work not only reflects the medical understanding of the 18th century but also highlights the evolution of public health responses to epidemic diseases.
