'A Treatise On the Fevers of Jamaica' by Robert Jackson, first published in 1791, offers a detailed examination of the fevers prevalent in Jamaica and the broader Americas. This historical medical text includes observations on intermitting fever and provides insights into preserving the health of soldiers stationed in hot climates.
