Then there is the special medicine nitroglycerin, which has an immediate effect in treating heartache. People who suffer from heartache will buy some nitroglycerin dissolved in alcohol for regular use.
In addition, a separate article was written on the prevention and control of wind and cold in Shangyuan County. This article only mentioned the measures taken to deal with the epidemic at that time, and then compiled the final results obtained based on these measures, just like recording a case.
Because there has been no major breakthrough in the main material of the microscope, glass, the transmittance of the glass cannot meet Zheng Xiong’s requirements, and the cost of making natural crystal is too high. Therefore, Zheng Xiong cannot provide any concrete evidence to make people believe it, so the promotion of virology awareness can only stop here and wait for the next issue. The dialectics of traditional Chinese medicine is still very rigorous. Wu Youxing in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty once proposed the concept of epidemic contagion. To put it simply, it is the concept of virology.
Based on the sudden onset and epidemic characteristics of the plague, Wu Youxing pointed out that it was caused by the existence of a strange air between heaven and earth, also known as the air of hostility and plague. Hostility is one of the miscellaneous gases that exists every year. The rise and fall of hostility is related to the region, the four seasons and the luck of the year. After experiencing hostility, both young and old can become ill. This distinguishes febrile epidemic from general exogenous diseases and from typhoid fever in terms of etiology.
Wu Youxing pointed out that the evil spirit invades the human body through the mouth and nose, breaking the view that "external evils injure people through the fur"; he also pointed out that the plague is highly contagious, and different types of evil spirit will selectively invade certain people. Biological groups or specific organs of humans cause specific diseases; it also points out that human epidemics and animal plagues are caused by different evil spirits, and the diseases are unique.
The theory of warm epidemic disease founded by Wu Youxing was 200 years ahead of the Western world. A relatively systematic program of syndrome differentiation and treatment of febrile diseases was formed, a series of new academic insights were proposed, and the content of medical febrile diseases was enriched.
Due to the lack of auxiliary tools, there was no way to further understand the concept of bacteria and viruses, which allowed the West to catch up. It was not until the introduction of the Western concept of bacteria and viruses 200 years later. However, Wu Youxing's discoveries and treatment prescriptions still provide a steady stream of inspiration and reference to future generations.
Now that Zheng Xiong wants to introduce the concept of virology, observation of the microscopic world is necessary, and a microscope is indispensable. Without Wu Youxing's ability, there is no need to mention it. Perhaps Zheng Xiong did not need to prove that he had eliminated smallpox, so he would have such prestige.
The materials that the pharmacy can provide are basically the treatment methods provided by Zheng Xiong. Dozens of doctors can only treat minor illnesses and pains. They are good at fishing for the elderly. I want them to make a breakthrough in some aspect. There is no hope.
The variola vaccination method provided by Dr. Xu from Fengyang Prefecture no longer has much effect after the introduction of cowpox vaccination method.
However, Zheng Xiong still excerpted his variola vaccination method and gave his opinions later. Since variola can be weakened so that ordinary people can resist smallpox and reduce the fatality rate, can other infectious diseases be reduced in toxicity through the same method and become infectious diseases that ordinary people can adapt to, so that people can avoid the harm of the disease.
Zheng Xiong used this to introduce the concept of vaccines. With the wisdom of the ancients, he will definitely gain something. Zheng Xiong is very excited about what crops will grow when he plants a seed.
Letters sent back from pharmacies in other places have also been sorted out. There are some ancestral prescriptions and some classics, which euphemistically reveal a hint of money exchange. Most of them have no creative thinking and only mention a few opinions about their profession.
Zheng Xiong found two more insightful articles among them. Among the short ones, he chose the taller ones and let everyone choose them. He bought horse bones with thousands of dollars to increase his enthusiasm for publishing the next issue of the journal.
The prescriptions and classics have been left, and the money will be distributed along with the second issue of the journal. At the end of the journal, I will see if I can trick some people into working for me, and there is no limit to discussion and exchange. Advertise the books printed by the printing house and see if anyone buys them.
After everything was done, Zheng Xiong took the crude second issue of the journal that had just been sorted out and went to the printing factory.
Seeing Zheng Xiong, Lin Shi stepped forward and saluted.
"No need to be too polite. Last time I asked the printing house to print the four major medical books and the Taiping Huimin and Pharmacy Prescriptions. Have they been printed?"
"Sir, they have all been printed. About a hundred copies of each item have been printed and sent to the pharmacy."
Zheng Xiong nodded, the speed was pretty good, and a lot of people were added. With enough manpower, the efficiency increased slowly.
"You finish your work today and print the second issue of the journal I have tomorrow."
He gave Lin Shi the second issue of the journal in his hand, and Lin Shi took it.
"Is there any problem with the other books being printed this month?"
"No problem, sir. Since we have added more people, there are no constraints anymore. Plus there are enough movable types, and we are working hard to print. Even if we finish it a few days ahead of schedule, it is not impossible."
Zheng Xiong nodded, inspected it for a while and left without any intention of advancing the construction date. The opening of the printing house was a bit unexpected. Originally, it was just a batch of movable type to satisfy my own consumption. Unexpectedly, it indirectly became a source of livelihood for some people. Later, a large amount of movable type was added to the roll. These two printing tasks were still a trap, and money was poured into them. Now I don't expect to make much money, as long as I can maintain a balance of income and expenditure, it only lasts a few days. I am not a capitalist, so I have to work overtime, so it doesn't matter.
He returned to his office and found Wu You.
"Have you not continued to make masks? Why don't you see the sewing ladies in the printing factory?"
"Back to your lord, it has stopped since Lord Fu Yin transferred the money. Besides, we don't have much cotton here."
"Well, you can't stop making masks. If you don't have enough cotton, get some. Recruit a few aunts to sew them slowly so you're prepared."
"yes."
The second issue of the journal was officially printed the next day, and the printing was completed on the third day.
Pack the journal and the specially cashed money, write down the address, and send it to the inn. The second issue of the journal is complete.
(Something has happened in the past two days, and the update is unstable. I'm sorry everyone. I will make up for it in two days.)
