About The Book: The author updated insights based on three more years of experience in India, both as a Professor of Clinical Medicine and a Superintending Surgeon of the Poona division of the Bombay army, have been incorporated. Specifically, I have shared my matured opinions on the therapeutic efficacy of quinine and arsenic and the optimal methods of administering these drugs in the treatment of malarial fevers. The presence of Typhoid-Enteric fever in India has also been acknowledged, and I have included new chapters on sunstroke and the Hill Sanitaria of the Deccan. About The Author: Charles Morehead CIE FRSE (1807–1882) was a 19th-century Scottish physician who rose to eminence in the Indian Medical Service for his contribution to medical education. He was the founding principal of the Grant Medical College in Bombay in 1845. Educated at the High School in Edinburgh, he then studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh graduating with an MD in 1828, and undertaking further studies in Paris. In 1829 he went to India to serve in the Bombay Medical Service linked to the East India Company working under Sir Robert Grant. In 1835 they jointly founded the Grant Medical College, Morehead being its Principal from 1845.
