Summary "The Growth of Medicine from the Earliest Times to About 1800" by Albert H. Buck is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book examines the evolution of medical practices and knowledge from prehistoric times through the 18th century, highlighting key figures and developments in various civilizations. It offers an overview of ancient medical traditions and practices, setting the stage for the significant advancements in medicine that followed. The opening of the text establishes the importance of understanding the history of medicine, emphasizing that many practitioners today lack a knowledge of how their field has evolved. Buck references several historical sources and outlines the structure of the text, which divides medical history into various epochs. He also discusses the challenges of documenting medical history, particularly from earlier periods where written records are scarce. The content suggests that the book aims to provide an accessible yet informative narrative on the development of medicine, appealing to both practitioners and educated laypersons interested in the origins of medical practices.
