Description
This scholarly work presents a detailed investigation into the causes and nature of two diseases that were endemic to Assam during the colonial period: Kála-Azár (visceral leishmaniasis) and Beri-Beri (thiamine deficiency disease). M. Giles undertook systematic research to understand the epidemiological patterns, clinical manifestations, and underlying factors contributing to these widespread health problems.
The Sanskrit edition represents an important historical medical document that bridges traditional and contemporary understanding of tropical diseases. The investigation covers disease transmission, population susceptibility, dietary factors, and environmental conditions relevant to disease development. This work contributed significantly to early tropical medicine research and public health understanding in the Indian subcontinent.
Originally published by Gyan Publishing House, this edition preserves valuable medical historical knowledge and research methodology from the colonial era.
