The mortality rate of children in ancient times is very high, is it common to catch a cold? In this small disease, the fatality rate in ancient times was very high. Mainly caused by a high fever caused by a cold, children with weak constitutions can hang up directly. Not to mention children, even the fatality rate for adults with a cold and fever is very high. For example, Juan III, who was rescued by Marin, almost died.
In fact, Marlin used to have a cold and fever when he was a child, and his constitution was weak. Fortunately, after the 1990s, there was no shortage of medicines in rural areas. When I went to the hospital, I always had antibiotics for you. I remember that when Marin went to see a doctor, after the doctor gave his temperature, he would say "Come on X-mycin", and then he entered the terrible injection ... I don't care about the side effects of antibiotics. I came alive ... and it was because of my frailty and illness in my childhood, and the popularity of martial arts in the 1990s, that caused Marin to exercise regularly ...
But in ancient times, those antibiotics were not used, so it is easy for young children to die. As a result, rural areas have the habit of giving their children a nasty name, such as two dogs and what is left of the dog. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't raise much.
This is the situation in ancient China. Fortunately, there are many local doctors with uneven medical skills, and many children can be rescued.
In ancient Europe, it was very miserable. Because before the development of modern medicine, European doctors mainly relied on bloodletting and prescribing tinctures of opium. Of course, there is also to find a priest to "holy water" to drink, or exorcism. In short, until the early 19th century, European medical standards were scary. King George III, the king of the British Empire, was suffering from a mental illness similar to Alzheimer's in his later years. He was actually tied to a chair by a quack doctor and beat with a stick ...
Such poor medical standards have made the survival rate of European children more difficult. Even in the royal family, it is normal to die a few princes.
Moreover, people who had a cold and a cough at that time were also classified as "pulmonary disease" and died of various diseases ...
...
In addition, dysentery, which is diarrhea, is also a disease with a high fatality rate in ancient times. Especially in ancient Europe, more people died of diarrhea.
Why? Because Europeans do n’t have the habit of drinking hot water ...
Europeans, whether ancient or modern, are not used to drinking hot water. In modern times, there is still pure water to drink, but in ancient times, only drinking raw water. Then, it was common for Rashira to die. Among them, the mortality rate of children's diarrhea is particularly high.
In modern times, colds and diarrhea can be solved by simply buying cold medicines and diarrhea medicines at a pharmacy. Even cold medicines and diarrhea medicines are standing items for the average family.
However, in ancient times, especially in ancient Europe, even the king, there is no such treatment ...
Diarrhea is better, at least, the opium tincture, which was regarded as a magic medicine by ancient Europeans, does have a therapeutic effect on diarrhea. However, this thing is produced in the Middle East and belongs to "imported medicine", which is expensive and only affordable by nobles. Therefore, the disease of diarrhea generally kills civilians, especially children among civilians.
However, diarrhea and diarrhea are actually related to food hygiene. Marlin's two sons Caesar and Robert, because they never drink raw water and do not eat any spoiled food, they never diarrhea. Moreover, there are two doctors of Mozgen and Battle who belong to the ranks of doctors in Europe and sit in the palace.
However, Marin cannot promote the habit of drinking hot water. Because in this era, there is no thermos, nor can it be made. If you want to drink hot water, there is actually only one way-to promote the use of honeycomb coal stoves.
Because, even if the honeycomb stove is blinded, a kettle is placed on it to boil water. Even if there is no more firepower, it is not difficult to heat who is in the pot by the star fire. As long as there is a honeycomb coal stove, there will be no shortage of hot water at home.
However, in order to avoid stimulation, John II, Duke of Cliff, who had just sold the Ruhr area to his ally, did not rush to launch a honeycomb stove. Otherwise, allies will have to turn their faces. But after two or three years, the honeycomb coal stove must be launched. After all, it is too convenient. In the absence of pipeline gas, the honeycomb coal stove is an artifact for urban residents to cook.
...
In other words, in ancient times, the two most important diseases that led to the death of children were actually the common cold and fever and diarrhea in modern times. As for other more serious diseases, because they rarely occur, they do not The mortality rate of such diseases is high ...
Moreover, Marin now also has a simple means of treating colds-brown sugar and **** water, sweating on the quilt ...
As for fever, there are ways to wipe alcohol all over to dissipate heat ...
Exactly, the output of Erguotou in Beihai is very large now. And as a by-product of the pot head and pot end-medical alcohol, the output is also very large. In this way, there is a way to treat fever.
Today, Mozhgen and Battle have trained hundreds of qualified disciples, scattered in the North Sea and the colonies. They also learned how to use brown sugar and **** water and rubbing alcohol to sweat. Moreover, **** and brown sugar are now produced in large amounts in Grenada and Cuba, and the cost is not expensive. As for alcohol, it goes without saying.
As for the colds and colds that often occur in children, in fact, Marin, a person with a semi-hanging medical skill, also knows the two magic drugs of Bupleurum and Huoxiang Zhengqishui. Because he had a cold and fever when he was young, he had taken these medicines many times. Especially Huoxiangzhengqi water ... Even though it passed through, Marin still unforgettable bitterness ... Even, Marin still clearly remembers the formula of Huoxiangzhengqi water ...
However, this is useless. Because, those are traditional Chinese medicines, mainly produced in China. This is why Marin is eager to establish contact with the Ming Dynasty-he wants to get those Chinese medicines!
Not to mention the effects of Bupleurum and Huoxiangzhengqi water, the main drug of Yunnan Baiyao, Sanqi, is also the target of Marin's covetment. Because, in the war years, the special drugs for bruises and injuries are in great demand. Moreover, Marin remembers the recipe of Yunnan Baiyao.
Ridiculously speaking, the recipe for baiyao still came from Laomei. Because, although Baiyao is kept secret in China, Laomi has to disclose the formula in the instruction manual in order to obtain the sales right. This incident caused an uproar at the time, and Marin naturally paid attention to it, so he wrote down the formula of the baiyao. If you traveled through ancient China, you would have made money with this hand. But now, because he is still in Europe, there are no Chinese herbal medicines such as Panax notoginseng, Sanyu grass, white cow gall, and Huai Yam. Marin can only stare.
In addition to the preparation of Bupleurum, Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and the preparation of Yunnan Baiyao, Marin is also particularly interested in another Chinese medicine. That is-Coptis ...
Coptis can be extracted from berberine, and berberine is a special medicine for diarrhea and diarrhea. In later generations, Marin will eat berberine tablets after diarrhea.
Moreover, the extraction of berberine is very simple-mainly sulfuric acid method, lime water method and ethanol method ...
Famalin sulfate was not dared to try because of poor control. Moreover, Marin also lacked sulfuric acid. The lime water method and ethanol method are very convenient for Marin. Ethanol, which is alcohol, is more than Marin. However, alcohol is quite expensive now, and it is still economical to use the lime water method, and the method is simple-as long as the berberine powder and quick lime are added to the water and stirred, and then salted out, you can get berberine ...
The extraction method of berberine is simple, and has a special effect on the treatment of dysentery, and it also has a great effect on Mycobacterium tuberculosis, pneumococcus, typhoid bacillus and diphtheria bacillus. Pneumonia, typhoid fever and pediatric diphtheria are just some of the most important incurable diseases in ancient times ~ www.novelhall.com ~ is also a common disease.
And, more importantly, berberine has fewer side effects. Unlike the domineering drugs like penicillin, the side effects are great.
In addition, it should be noted that many people mistakenly believe that penicillin is well prepared. There is nothing wrong with this, because as long as penicillium is born, penicillin can be extracted.
However, not all penicillins can be used as medicine. Medical scientists selected thousands of penicillin samples, and after many tests, they got penicillin suitable as a drug. If you use unproven penicillin casually, it may not cure the disease, but directly kill the patient ...
Therefore, under the circumstances of lack of chemical talents, Marin has no way to engage in penicillin. Because the selection of penicillin strains is a long process. Malin was unfamiliar, but had no time. After all, he is still a princely head, but he has no time to observe and test penicillin all day long. Therefore, this matter must wait for the cultivation of chemical talents before taking action.
However, the extraction of berberine is too simple, the effect is so good, the side effects are still small, and Marin has no reason not to be high. All he has to do is to import Coptis chinensis seeds from Daming in large quantities, and then plant them in North America with a climate similar to that of China, and then extract and use them ...
Similarly, Bupleurum, Huoxiang, Sanqi and other important traditional Chinese medicines are also planned to be introduced in large quantities and planted in North America. By then, these medicines are not lacking, and can be used by ordinary people in the North Sea country to reduce the mortality rate of the disease and the death rate of children.
It is precisely because China has too many things that Marin needs, including these life-saving drugs, Marin is so keen on the big voyage. Even after Americo explored the Daming Pacific route this time, he planned to go to Daming in person, introduce enough seeds of Chinese medicine, and get some Chinese medicine to come over to improve the medical standard of Beihai ...
