-Beddoes's Hygeia comes from hygiene, and Greek theology.
-
-At time of publication, 1802, doctors were often ineffective and
-illegitimate because of muddiness between real physicians and quacks and
-limited scientific study of new medical treatment. Writer was interested
-in increasing scientific interest and legitimacy of medicine.
-
-Medical Manuals were popular at the time and tried to give the literate
-middle class ability to manage their own health (because useful doctors
-charged exorbitantly). Beddoes criticizes the majority of the genre, but
-is itself a medical manual.
-Thesis: health is a social ideal of individual habits ("rules and
-regulations") for preventive medicine. 
-
-Beddoes aligns with modern cultural pressure that health is a moral
-issue.
-
-Health is also a relative, sliding scale. The only way to determine
-healthfulness is by comparing to an unhealthy person. Also, acquiring
-health is a difficult path to determine.
-
-Pre-germ theory medicine is similar to modern neuromedicine, because the
-causes and absolute diagnostics are unclear. But Beddoes's and other
-contemporary doctors' missions were to "make disease visible." Medical
-tools that make disease more visible change how we understand health and
-how to become healthy.
-
-This course will cover some of these changes and developments in the
-19-20th centuries.
