The Nineteenth Century was marked in Europe and in North America by an increasing awareness of scientific thought which was carried into many fields of human endeavour. It was during this period that the study of medicine began to flower, as interest was awakened in the accurate observation and recording of natural phenomena as they occur in the human body in health and disease. Normal human anatomy was becoming increasingly better understood, the study of pathology was advancing rapidly and the infant physiology was gaining interest. Prior to 1830, acute inflammation of the pancreas had been observed and recorded so seldom that in the minds of most physicians it was a theoretical disease.
