Written by esteemed physicians Lewellys F. Barker and Thomas P.

It covers topics ranging from arteriosclerosis and kidney disease to the impact of lifestyle and heredity on health. ""The De Generative Diseases"" remains a valuable resource for medical historians and those interested in the history of geriatric care, providing a window into the diagnostic techniques and therapeutic philosophies of a previous era.
