Summary: "Essay on the effects of iodine on the human constitution" by William Gairdner is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century. This book explores the medicinal properties of iodine, particularly its applications and effects concerning various diseases, including bronchocele, scrofula, and tuberculous conditions affecting the chest and abdomen.

In the essay, Gairdner discusses the history of iodine's introduction into medicine, examining both its efficacy and the serious side effects that can arise from its misuse. He cites various cases where iodine produced dramatic results, particularly in treating goitre, but also outlines instances of significant harm when the drug was administered carelessly or without adequate knowledge. Throughout the text, Gairdner argues for a cautious and well-informed approach to using iodine, advocating for increased awareness among practitioners about its powerful effects on the human body and the necessity of monitoring its administration closely to avoid adverse reactions.
