Accessing the virtual space of correspondence was for the patients in many cases the final stage of a long therapeutic itinerary or the attempt to overcome the geographical distance that arouse out of different motives between the practitioner and the sick. From early modern Spain, very few patient letters have survived to the present days. A great exception are the letters addressed to the physician Juan Munoz y Peralta (1665-1746). As a royal physician and the first president of the \"Royal Society of Medicine and other Sciences of Seville\", Spain's first scientific academy, Munoz y Peralta was an outstanding figure of the Spanish \"Novator\" movement, promoting the modern medicine. Today, the National Historic Archive preserves a collection of 67 letters, written between 1709 and 1721 by men and women to the physician Peralta. The aim of this paper is to analyse these letters in order to reconstruct from the very perspective of the patient why and how they initiated a correspondence with Peralta as well as their attitudes towards the different therapeutic offers that ranged between the traditional and the modern. Crucially, it wvill examine the physician-patient relationship that came into being in a very particular setting: the virtual space correspondence.</p>","PeriodicalId":81962,"journal":{"name":"Medicina e historia","volume":" 1","pages":"4-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36042330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"[Trichinae, pigs and veterinary public health: The introduction of the microscopic world into the scientific basis for meat inspection (Barcelona, 1870s)].","authors":"José Manuel Gutiérrez García","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>During the second half of the 19th century, Spanish authorities began developing specific programs on the safety of certain foods intended for human consumption. This paper analyses the key features that gave rise to the inclusion of the veterinarian in the administrative structure responsible for safeguarding public health. Among the aspects covered, special focus is put on the relationship between human and animal medicine at a time when growing public alarm in relation to certain zoonoses contributed to shaping the notion of veterinary public health. The appearance of a disease in pigs that was transmissible through the consumption of parasitized meat set the scene for veterinary inspection to be associated with the protection of public health. The outbreaks of trichinosis all over Spain in the 1870's proved the existence of contagium animatum in a pre-bacteriology era, and this led to the introduction of improvements in food inspection. In this sense, microscopic examination of pork products encouraged the modernization of inspection tasks undertaken by veterinarians, which had previously focused on the organoleptic evaluation of meat and fish and on unveiling fraud. The introduction of microscopes was widely accepted and established a watershed between acceptable and unacceptable methods of carrying out the examination of meat. Furthermore, this \"technological\" method of diagnosis brought veterinary medicine closer to other more prestigious health professions, at least in theory. Among other aspects, the acceptance of trichinae as an exogenous cause of disease contributed to 19th century doctors learning about the idea of pathogenic microorganisms from veterinarians. At a social level, the use of the microscope was seen as a way of preventing the transmission to people of an animal disease that was very much in the public eye at the time. From the political point of view, the process -analysed in this paper from the perspective of veterinarians in Barcelona- allows a glimpse of the contrast between the desire of some Catalan veterinarians to modernize their profession and what was happening in others parts of Spain.</p>","PeriodicalId":81962,"journal":{"name":"Medicina e historia","volume":" 1","pages":"4-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34618520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From 1850 a long series of international health conferences on epidemics, hygiene, charity, tuberculosis, mother-baby health and rural health brought together doctors, diplomats and governors from many countries to look for political solutions to the social impact of disease. An international health diplomacy arose from this as a channel for debate and solution to the main health problems. According to official statistics, the elevated prevalence of syphilitics at the beginning of the XX century set off the alarm regarding the problems of preventing and treating the disease. Two international conferences on syphilis were convened.
