Yesterday’s Muse Books MEDICAL CATALOG Yesterday’s Muse Books 32 W Main St - Ste 1 Webster, NY USA 14580 (585) 265-9295 [email protected] www.websterbookstore.com 2 1. Every-Day Wonders Illustrated; or, Facts in Physiology which All Should Know. Philadelphia: American Sunday-School Union, 1853. Reprint. 188 pp. 12mo bound in sixes. Cloth spine, marbled boards. Hoolihan 1095 (describing the 1851 original): “’The object of the writer of this book has been to present a few of the truths of that science, which treats of the structure of the human body, and of the adaption of the external world to it, in such a form, as that they shall be readily apprehended by children and young people’. Very good. Boards lightly rubbed, ink name on front flyleaf, endpapers foxed. 2. Transactions of the Medical Society of the State of New $60 York, for the Year 1861. Albany: Charles van Benthuysen, Printer., 1861. First Edition. 408 pp. 8vo. A collection of medical papers by various authors, significant for the inclusion of the short paper ‘Amputation of the cervix uteri’ by J. Marion Sims, who later released a full-length volume entitled ‘Clinical Notes on Uterine Surgery...’ (Garrison-Morton 6057). The paper includes illustrations of a duck-billed speculum, and two figures illustrating a method for applying stitches to close the amputation wound. Good. In pencil on front endpaper: ‘Compliments of A.E. Larney [?] 1861, Dr. Hemstreet’. $75 Hemstreet is listed as the author of ‘Encysted tumor of pelvic origin’, included in this volume. Pages lightly stained & foxed throughout, minor loss from spine base, base of boards bumped. 3. [Faust, Bernhard Christoph; Porter, Henry H.; Condie, D. Francis] Porter’s Catechism of Health; or, Plain and Simple Rules for the Preservation of the Health and Vigour of the Constitution from Infancy to Old Age. For the Use of Schools. Philadelphia: Literary Rooms, No. 121 Chestnut Street, Office of the Journal of Health, Journal of Law, and Family Library of Health, 1831. Seventh edition. x, 202 pp. 12mo bound in sixes. Hoolihan 1146. In relation to the original: “In some bibliographies and databases, this work is attributed to Henry H. Porter, who was publisher of the journals $125 stated in the imprint. This attribution may be based on the absence of Faust’s name on the title-page, or the fact the Porter’s Catechism is but loosely based on the original. Porter’s Catechism was extensively edited and/or rewritten by the Philadelphia physician D. Francis Condie, who was closely associated with Porter and John Bell in editing the Journal of health. Thomas Horrocks points out that Condie reoriented Faust’s Catechism to a predominantly middle-class, American readership: ‘Defining middle class life as beneficial to one’s health is just one example of how Condie refashioned Faust’s message... to bring it more in line with the emerging health reform movement of the period.’... In keeping with the theme of personal responsibility inherent to the (closely related) evangelical and health reform movements, Condie placed less emphasis on public health than Faust... Porter frequently reissued the Catechism in its two-year publishing history. In 1831 this first edition of the Catechism was published.” Very good. Former library copy - sticker on front board, Woodstock Historical Society bookplate on front endpaper. Boards rubbed, front free endpaper removed, one gathering loose, endpapers foxed. 4. Allis, Oscar H. An Inquiry into the Difficulties Encountered in the Reduction of Dislocations of the Hip. The Samuel D. Gross Prize Essay. Philadelphia: Dornan, Printer, 1896. First edition. xv, 171 pp. 8vo. The published version of the essay which won the 1895 Samuel D. Gross Fund prize, which was issued every five years by the Library of the Philadelphia Academy of Surgery. The author won $1000 for his work. The essays discusses various types of hip dislocation and their characteristics, and proposes treatment options. Illustrated with drawings throughout. Very good. Former copy of Rochester Academy of Medicine, with call numbers on spine, bookplate on front endpaper. Inscribed without signature by author $30 on front flyleaf (‘Dr. J.E Summers Omaha - Nebraska - With the compliments of the author -’).

[No. 1-24]: September 9, 1829 to August 25, 1830. Philadelphia: L. Johnson, 1830. Fourth improved edition. 385-390, [1]-384 pp. (index bound in before text). 4to. A collection of twenty-four 16-page issues of a semi-monthly medical journal published in Philadelphia. A total of seventy-two issues were released between 1829 and 1832. Notable topics include: smallpox vaccination; temperance; life expectancy; water cure (hydropathy); health spas (baths); births and deaths in various major cities (London, Philadelphia, Charleston, etc.); hygiene; physical education of girls; tobacco and snuff; medical quackery; etc. $125 Hoolihan 2053: “The Journal is notable as the earliest serial publication in the United States that catered to the public’s growing concern with personal health, domestic sanitation, temperance, etc. It is also an example of an emerging phenomenon in American publishing of the 1830s: the mass-circulation periodical... According to Thomas Horrocks, ‘Bell and Condie used the journal to pursue two goals. The first concerned the authority of the medical profession in the management of disease. The editors were unrelenting in their attacks on Thomsonians, botanical doctors, homeopaths, animal magnetists and purveyors of various nostrums... The editors’ second goal related to the broader reform movement of the period. Bell and Condie believed, as did many other health reformers of the time, that their message of individual responsibility concerning one’s health was particularly relevant to their society’. S. Nissenbaum states that in 1831 the Journal became the first American publication to ‘come out unequivocally against the use of fermented as well as distilled beverages,’ though this had not been the editors’ original position. This concern helped place the temperance movement within the context of popular health reform generally.” Good. Rebacked with original spine label laid down and new endpapers, boards heavily toned along edges, a few pages foxed, moderate transfer. 6. An Old Physician [Alcott, William Andrus] The Physiology of Marriage. Boston: John P. Jewett & Co., 1856. Reprint. vi, 259, [1] pp. 12mo bound in sixes. Hoolihan 42. In reference to original edition, Hoolihan states: “Alcott devotes himself in this frequently reprinted work to the social and moral, as well as the physical consideration of the relations of men and women in marriage. Alcott provides admonitions on ‘premature marriage’... the importance of an early understanding of reproductive physiology; the dangers in courtship of the ‘prurient and ungovernable passions and appetites’ of young males upon the ‘citadel of female character’... the $50 deleterious effects of ‘premature sexual indulgences,’ i.e. fornication and masturbation; ‘the physical laws of marriage’... pregnancy... abortion; contraception (coitus interruptus, rhythm method, abstinence); sexual behavior during lactation; venereal disease; and two concluding chapters on the laws of hygiene.” Near fine. 7. Andral, G. [Gabriel]; Townsend, Richard; West, William A Treatise on Pathological Anatomy, in Two Volumes New York: Samuel Wood & Sons, 1832. First American edition, and the second English translation (preceded by an 1829 Irish imprint). viii, 424; xviii,507 pp. 8vo. Original full calf, gilt titles & rules. A treatise on pathological anatomy by the French physician who also wrote the first monography on haematology. Good. Former library copy, usual marks. Spine labels absent, joints cracked with minor loss from spine head of volume 1, more significant loss from spine of vol. $150 2, ink owner information on endpapers, lightly foxed. 8.

Hoolihan 126: “The abridged edition. The text of the Last legacy in this edition has been reduced to four chapters, in comparison with the nine chapters of the full text in the 1733 London edition.” Very good. Lightly rubbed, minimal abrasion along front joint. 9. Baunscheidt, Charles; Firmenich, J. Baunscheidtismus or The New Curing Method, Improved by Dr. J. Firmenich, to which is added a Treatise on the Eye, its Diseases and Cure. $200 Buffalo: J. Firmenich & Co., 1862. First American edition. xv, 274 pp. 8vo. Hoolihan 236/237 (describing the German original and the first English translation) together with Baunscheidt’s treatise on the eye (Hoolihan 238): “[Baunscheidt’s] interest in medicine followed a moment of enlightenment described in the 1859 English translation of this treatise... In this treatise $150 Baunscheidt outlines his peculiar theories of life and disease, the importance of applying therapeutic processes to the surface of the skin (rather than poisoning the internal organs with medicines), the practical application of the Lebenswecker and Oleum Baunscheidtii, and the ‘abducent’ principle on which this therapy rests. The Lebenswecker consisted of needles released by a spring mechanism in the handle that punctured the skin to a depth determined by the operator.

    Popular Health Movements and Diet Reform in Nineteenth-Century America

    The Japanese Journal of American Studies, No. 21 (2010) Popular Health Movements and Diet Reform in Nineteenth-Century America Nanami SUZUKI* INTRODUCTION Food is deeply related to culture and society.1 While human beings have consumed a variety of things in their daily lives, they have attached a wide range of cultural meanings to what they select to eat, how they prepare their food, with whom they eat, as well as what they consume on special occasions. Several kinds of foods exist simply to be eaten at various ceremonial gatherings held at specific stages in the life cycle. Food is thus an impor- tant measure expressing the way that humans are linked to the environ- ment and to one another. Eating is an expression of one’s way of life, and statements of one’s faith and beliefs are often demonstrated through food-related codes and ceremonies. The United States grew with immigrants from diverse areas whose individual food cultures were an important element in their ethnic iden- tities. A new “creolized” food culture took shape through the fusion of those food cultures and foodstuffs in the new land in a concrete mani- festation of the meeting of cultures. The food culture of the United States experienced great changes from the 1820s to the 1890s. There was a significant expansion of the country physically and at the same time the promotion of internal migration. By Copyright © 2010 Nanami Suzuki. All rights reserved.

Chapter 1 The Western Health Reform Institute Paul U. Cameron and Lynden J. Rogers Introduction The grand opening of the Western Health Reform Institute (WHRI) in Battle Creek, Michigan, on September 5, 1866, was a gala occasion. It was only a short time after Ellen White had focussed attention on the need for such an institution during her stirring address to the 1866 General Conference Session. Despite having limited means, some $11,000 had been raised by gift or subscription loan during a fundraising campaign spearheaded by Elders John N. Loughborough in the West and John N. Andrews in the East. On September 11 the editor of the Review and Herald, Uriah Smith, reported on the successful opening, noting that, “it was less than four short months ago, for the time when this matter first began to take practical shape among our people.”1 J.

    Why are tobacco companies allowed to spend $11/2 billion dollars per year to pro­ mote deadly products-with many of their messages intended for children? How can this situation be tolerated? How did it arise? What can we do about it? Can pro­ tection be achieved in a manner compati­ ble with free enterprise and individual freedom? How should the rights of smokers and nonsmokers be balanced? Must nonsmokers subsidize the cost of treating cigarette-induced disease? How much protection should nonsmokers have from drifting cigarette smoke? How can smokers escape from the grip of nicotine addiction and psychological dependence on smoking? Dr. Elizabeth Whelan addresses these and other important questions as she examines how the tobacco industry de­ veloped and thrived during the 20th century, creating an unprecedented chain of economic and physical dependence.

    A History of Veganism from 1806

    1 World Veganism – past, present, and future By John Davis, former IVU Manager and Historian A collection of blogs © John Davis 2010-12 Introduction This PDF e-book is about 8mb, 219 pages A4, (equivalent to 438 page paperback book), so I strongly recommend that you save a copy to your own disk, then open it in the Adobe Acrobat Reader. That way, you won’t have to download it all again if you want to read more of it sometime later. Creating this as a PDF e-book has several advantages, especially if you are reading this on a device connected to the internet. For example: - in the blog about interviews on SMTV, just click on the links to watch the videos - in the bibliography click to read a complete scan of an original very old book. - on the contents page click a link to go direct to any item, then click ‘back to top’. - you can also, of course, use other features such as search, zoom etc. etc. - a great advance on printed books… It should work on any device, though an ipad/tablet is ideal for this as there are lots of big colour photos, or on smart-phones try rotating for best results, on a larger computer monitor try view/page display/two up, to read it like a book. The blogs were posted weekly from February 2010 to December 2012 and each is self- contained, with the assumption that readers might not have seen any of the others. So feel free to start anywhere, and read them in any order, no need to read from the beginning.

I have a newfound appreciation for the artfulness and skill it takes to be a librarian or an archivist. All of those mentioned below went above and beyond the normal call of duty, and I appreciate it so much. Jon Schladweiler, Historian of the Arizona Water Association, helped me a great deal through his archive on the history of sewers, in person, and by email. His online sewer history archive is a treasure. Anna Berkes and Bob Self at Monticello, the staff at the National Archives in College Park and D.C., and Amber Kappell at the American Medical Association were all amazing help to me at various stages of this project.
