Florence Nightingale
Believed that disease was a reparative process; disease was nature’s effort to remedy a process of poisoning or decay, or a reaction against the conditions in which a person was placed. Nightingale did not provide a definition of nature. In her ratings, she often capitalized the word nature in her writings, thereby suggesting that it was synonymous with God.
However, when she used the word nature without capitalization, it is unclear wether or not the intended meaning is different and perhaps synonymous with an organic pathological process.
