Do climatic changes modify these factors? Much has been claimed for, and written upon the advantages of a dry climate in consumption. There are other reasons why this may give benefit, but I suppose no one will contend that the fluids in the tissues of the lungs are materially lessened thereby, or that, while life continues, these can by any manner of means be so diminished as to prevent bacillary development. The heat-point for the bacillary growth must be maintained so long as the individual exists, for its reduction to a point to interfere with its development must be incompatible with the conditions possible for the maintenance of the life of the individual. Given, the depreciation of the vitality of the tissues locally, and that the albuminoids requisite to furnish food for the unwelcome tenants continue, and we safely infer, from what we now know, that an aseptic atmosphere, however, dry or rarefied, cannot alone furnish the factors of cure. The role of bacterial reproduction varies greatly in certain diseases. Thus, in scarlet fever, measles, small-pox, once having run its course, the bacterial development is at an end, and only in the most exceptional conditions can be reproduced in the same individual. In a measure this is true of typhoid, typhus, and yellow fever, and also of diphtheria and perhaps other diseases. Remittent or malarial fever is an exception, and yet, after a time, the individual either takes on an increased resisting power to the disease, or the conditions necessary for its development are changed and so-called acclimitization follows. However, the residents of a malarious country never entirely escape its influence. That it is a new infection, rather than the development of the original seed, appears probable, since ordinarily a residence in a country free from malaria soon causes the disease to disappear. While thus much may be determined from experience, and the sufferers from this disease promised exemption by change of climate,
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

Henry Orlando Marcy (1837-1924) was a medical doctor practicing in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1885, Dr. Marcy published this paper, “The Climatic Treatment of Disease” with the subhead, “Western North Carolina as a Health Resort.” His article was often cited by the Appalachian National Park Association as a reason for having a national park in the southern Appalachians. The article was reprinted from the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1885.
