This care was determined particularly by attentive observation and physical 'searching' of the body. Chapter 4 nvestigates the measures were taken by physicians and laypeople to restore health after illness. Drawing on medical texts, regimens, letters, and diaries, this chapter shows that the treatment of the convalescent differed both from the care of the sick and the healthy. It shows the vital place of the non-naturals in early modern medicine, and the role played by 'Nature', understood as the body's principal agent and governor in physiological processes. 410 0$aSocial histories of medicine 606 $aHealth$xHistory$y16th century$9lat$2NLI 606 $aPublic health$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y16th century$9lat$2NLI 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial conditions$y16th century$9lat$2NLI 615 7$aHealth$xHistory 615 7$aPublic health$xHistory 702 $aCavallo$b Sandra 702 $aStorey$b Tessa 712 02$aProQuest Ebook Central 912 $a9910219863703321 996 $aConserving health in early modern culture$91912905 997 $aUNINA 999 2 $aEBOOK
