BAUER, JULIUS. DIE KONSTITUTIONELLE DISPOSITION ZU INNEREN KRANHEITEN.
Berlin: Julius Springer, 1917. 8vo, x, 586, (4 ads)pp. Orig. printed wrappers. General wear, very good. ¶ First Edition of one of the classics of 'constitution therapy.' 'With the World War, the doctrine of the Constitution took a sudden leap forward, and was further helped out by the development of Mendelian reasoning (genetics) and of endocrinology. Consideration of the soldier as a whole, and of vast outdoor clinics of men en masse, tended to revive the general pathology of Hippocrates... The constitution came to be seen as the summation of inherited traits which are basic in resistance, susceptibility and predisposition to disease.... The subject has now an immense literature, including... the treatises of Bauer (1917) and Halban-Seitz' (Garrison pp.678-9).
