Jaundice: Its Pathology and Treatment With the Application of Physiological Chemistry to the Detection and Treatment of Diseases of the Liver and Pancreas

"Jaundice: Its Pathology and Treatment" by George Harley is a medical text that examines jaundice, not as a disease, but as a symptom pointing to deeper issues within the body. Harley connects the yellowing condition to a range of diseases affecting the liver, pancreas, and other systems, stressing the importance of understanding the chemistry and functions of these organs to properly diagnose and treat the source of the ailment, reflecting then-current advancements in medical science. The book emphasizes the need to look at jaundice as a sign of complex underlying health problems rather than a simple disease itself.
