David Wark (Australian Politician)
David Wark (c. 1807 – 3 March 1862) was a medical practitioner and politician in the colony of South Australia. He was at the centre of a controversy after being called to examine a child suspected of having been murdered. History David Wark was a medical doctor born on Scotland, perhaps Ayrshire, and was a member of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, licensed to teach anatomy and perform autopsies. His first marriage produced a son Robert Hunter Wark, and ended with the death of his wife. The widower Wark then emigrated to South Australia from Glasgow for a more congenial climate, arriving with his son aboard ''Welcome'' on 3 April 1839, having served as ship's surgeon. He went back to Britain, most likely with his son, and on 15 July 1841 left for Sydney, perhaps alone, aboard the ship ''Herald'', and arrived in South Australia aboard ''Duke of Sussex'' in September 1841. He had settled in the Encounter Bay area and admired the local Aborigines, but was, as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Diphtheria
Diphtheria is an infection caused by the bacterium '' Corynebacterium diphtheriae''. Most infections are asymptomatic or have a mild clinical course, but in some outbreaks more than 10% of those diagnosed with the disease may die. Signs and symptoms may vary from mild to severe and usually start two to five days after exposure. Symptoms often come on fairly gradually, beginning with a sore throat and fever. In severe cases, a grey or white patch develops in the throat. This can block the airway and create a barking cough as in croup. The neck may swell in part due to enlarged lymph nodes. A form of diphtheria which involves the skin, eyes or genitals also exists. Complications may include myocarditis, inflammation of nerves, kidney problems, and bleeding problems due to low levels of platelets. Myocarditis may result in an abnormal heart rate and inflammation of the nerves may result in paralysis. Diphtheria is usually spread between people by direct contact or through th ...
