The Sweating Sickness
A boke or counseill against the disease commonly called the sweate or sweatyng sicknesse
Produced by Louise Hope
"The Sweating Sickness" by John Caius is a scientific publication written in the mid-16th century. This book provides a detailed account of a mysterious and deadly disease that predominantly affected the people of England during that era, known as the "sweating sickness." It delves into the symptoms, causes, and remedies associated with the disease, offering guidance aimed primarily at those suffering from it and those wishing to prevent it. In the text, John Caius meticulously describes the nature, origins, and the sudden onset of the sweating sickness that emerged in England in several outbreaks during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. He identifies the signs of the illness, such as profuse sweating, and explores its potential causes, from environmental factors to dietary issues, while emphasizing the importance of cleanliness and proper nutrition. The work also contains practical advice on prevention and treatment, encouraging the use of natural remedies and attention to bodily health. Caius’s intention is not solely to document the disease but to provide reassurance to the public, equip them with necessary knowledge, and promote health and wellbeing in a time of fear and uncertainty.
