‎Röntgen Roentgen Ray Examinations in Incipient Pulmonary Tuberculosis‎

‎no place : Transactions of the American Climatological Association 1899. First Separate Edition. Wraps. Very Good. First Separate Edition. 16 pages. Printed light tan printed wrappers stapled. Lower corner front wrapper missing. Clean internally. The offprint issue. Wraps. X-Rays Roentgen Rays were discovered in 1895 and very quickly found interest in the medical community as a way to see "inside" without apparent adverse effects.<br/><br/>Francis Henry Williams was an early practitioner of x-rays in 1896 publishing a paper estimating the heart size by the use of the fluoroscope the "first application of x rays to cardiology". G/M 5/2804.1<br/><br/>In this paper Williams discusses his experience with x-rays in the subsequent three years noting he has seen 275 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis of which he examined about 165 using x-rays. He uses case studies to highlight his conclusions and results.<br/><br/>Radiology in May 1953 published a nice tribute to Williams. From the abstract: "It is well for radiologists to remember and to pay tribute to those pioneers who laid the foundation and cornerstone of modem radiology.<br/><br/>In 1852 one hundred years ago Francis Henry Williams was born in Uxbridge Mass. At the age of twenty-one he was graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1877 he received the degree of Doctor of Medicine from Harvard University and the following two years he devoted to medical study in Europe. In 1879 he began his career as a practicing physician in Boston. At the Harvard Medical School he was appointed successively Instructor in Materia Medica and Therapeutics and Assistant Professor of Therapeutics.<br/><br/>In 1892 Dr. Williams had initiated bacterial examination at the Boston City Hospital where he was visiting physician and in 1894 he was the first in his community to use antitoxin in the treatment of diphtheria. It is therefore easy to appreciate his interest and vision in pursuing the field of radiology following the discovery of roentgen rays in 1895 and of radium three years later.<br/><br/>He began his work with roentgen rays in 1896 transporting many of his patients to the Rogers Laboratory of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to examine them with the fluoroscope. Eventually a small room in the basement of the Boston City Hospital was provided for this purpose by the Trustees.<br/><br/>Previous clinical experience definitely influenced the attitude of this physician toward the status of the roentgen examination in diagnostic problems. To his mind such a procedure involved as close a clinical relationship as does palpation auscultation or percussion.<br/><br/>By 1898 he had publicly discussed the application of roentgen methods in the diagnosis of thoracic aneurysm pericardial effusion cardiac hypertrophy pulmonary tuberculosis emphysema and many other intrathoracic conditions. In 1899 he began his work with Dr. Walter B. Cannon and carried out some of the very early investigations on the human alimentary tract.<br/><br/>This pioneer very early gave heed to protecting himself and his patients from the rays emanating from the x-ray tube. He reached the completion of his long and useful career without physical blemish resulting from untoward effects of radiation either from x-rays or radium.<br/><br/>He with the able co-operation of his friend Dr. William Rollins was instrumental in the production of many devices; among them the fluorometer for the mensuration of x-rays 1902 and radium salts 1903; the "see-hear" a fluoroscopic screen combined with a phonendoscopic diaphragm for noting intrathoracic sights and sounds simultaneously; and a mechanical stereoscopic fluoroscope involving the use of two disks rotating on one shaft.

‎Archive of correspondence to Frederick Wells Williams‎

‎New Haven India England and Japan 1915. A collection of 42 items mostly manuscript letters signed from a variety of academics administrators and Yale men to the sinologist Frederick Wells Williams 1857-1928 with a few letters from Williams' father-in-law the theologian Hemen Lincoln Wayland to his daughter Williams' wife Fanny. Frederick Wells Williams was the son of Samuel Wells Williams also a sinologist and missionary to China. The elder Williams was the first professor of Chinese language and literature in the United States. The younger Williams continued this trade and was himself a professor of Oriental history at Yale. The majority of the archive is comprised of manuscript letters addressed to Williams dealing primarily with matters of travel. Williams planned visits to Panama Morocco and particularly India and sought letters of introduction or meetings with men with connections there. The letters chiefly concern meeting up or making plans with some exceptions as noted below. Included are ALS's from: 1. Ion Perdicaris Greek-American heir most famous for being kidnapped in Morocco for a high ransom and compelling Roosevelt to declare "Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead!" Perdicaris assists Williams in making connections in Morocco. 2. Thomas Raynesford Lounsbury who provided 2 colorful letters one from London: "I am staying here. at this hotel. which bears the honored name Thackery but which to my horror . I find is a temperance hotel. I shall consequentially not stay long." The other a cryptic 1p note reading "You can rely upon me to stand by you unflinchingly on the solemn occasion to which you refer and all the more readily that there are no alien interests to interpose. I shall loom up at half-past six." Lounsbury was an English scholar at Yale and an authority on Chaucer. 3. Guy Lestrange a British Orientalist arranging a meeting 4. William Graham Sumner Yale Professor of social science. He asks Williams to find a replacement for his wife to speak at the Soc. Sci. Club. and compliments him on his previous lecture. 5. Charles Lewis Slattery a bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts who provides a "ghost signature" no letter included 6. John Ferguson Weir painter sculptor and teacher at Yale who writes a letter of profuse thanks. "I cannot let the day close without thanking you again for what your friendship prompted and effected - not without great painstaking on your part I know - but which has for me a depth of meaning not to be put in words though it fills my thoughts." 7. George Trumbull Ladd Clark Professor of Metaphysics and Moral Philosophy apologizing for missing a social call. "I was so absorbed in trying out some new rolls that I did not know anyone had entered the house." 8. Poultney Bigelow a Yale classmate of Williams' and traveling journalist. "Just in from the Alps and the Himalayas and the first message from my mound of P. O. Matter is your "US & China" - about which no man can write better than yourself. It was a great pleasure to me last winter in the East to note how tenderly your name is cherished in the minds of scholars & trust you will have many more years of usefulness adding ever to your father's reputation & your own." 9. Maurice Bloomfield American Sanskrit scholar thanking Williams for assistance. 10. Morgan Shuster providing a letter of introduction to General Goethals of the Panama Canal Zone a year after the canal's completion 11. John Bucher thanking Williams for sending something to him. 12. Theodore Morrison an administrator and educator on India regarding letters of introduction for a trip Williams is planning 13. A letter from an unknown author introducing H S Bayley of Hyderabad and "His Highness" the title I can't decipher and advising on how to prepare for Williams' arrival. 14. C. S. Mellen "the last of the railway tsars." Mellen says he will not be able to attend a meeting of the Social Science club because he is having a dinner with the employees and labor orgs of the Boston & Main Railroad. 15. J. G. Jennings inviting Williams to stay with him at his home near Muir College Allahabad. Jenning was at the time president of the college. In addition to this parade of men of note there are a few other letters including: 1. Five letters from M. Arao Oiwa a translator guide and print dealer from Japan discussing the print market in Japan promising products and encouraging Williams to send friends and students to Japan to travel. Oita charges 15 yen a day per person to guide them around the country and speaks warmly of his relationship with Williams. 2. A vitriolic ALS from a Maria Smith who has taken offense at Williams' comment on the behavior of Christian missionaries in China. "You say also that through it all the Chinese have maintained their own 'superior culture and moral principles.' Superior culture! And moral principles! As exemplified no doubt in the condition of their women; the state of marriage; the extremely sanitary condition of the country; the system of education; the political organization and a thousand other notorious systems of debauchery and corruption which have made China what she is and have kept her where she is sunk in ignorance and superstition." 3. Four personal letters between H. L. Wayland and Fannie Williams' wife. Wayland discusses news about the neighborhood and asks after his grandchildren. 4. A manuscript invitation to attend the second meeting of the Excelsior Society of Yale and to provide a lecture. Dated 1908 Signed "Y. Z. China" Also included are a few items of ephemera photo portraits of two Wayland men H.L. Wayland's pamphlet "What Mr. Jenkins thinks" Fannie's grade book marriage license and certificate of proficiency for Remington typewriting menu for the 20th anniversary of the Yale Wolf's Head society of which Williams was a member a menu to the Norfolk Inn on which a pen illustration of women at a table has been drawn a broadside schedule of services for Stewart Street Baptist Church with Wayland providing a sermon and a 6.25" x 10" photograph of an outdoor scene likely Hawaii with figures labeled in manuscript "Norman Garstin J. B. Alexander H. H. Garstin" Norman and H. H. Garstin were English born businessmen who managed a large plantation in Hawaii and moved to California in 1892. Overall an interesting look at the sort of connections a Yale professor maintained at the turn of the 20th century. <br/><br/> unknown books‎

‎Fifteen letters and drawings by Charlotte's Web illustrator Garth Williams to his daughters Jessica and Estyn 1962-1968; 5 TLS 2 ALS and 4 birthday cards with drawings to Jessica 1 TLS to Estyn and 3 TLS to both; together with 4 ink drawings: "Yoo Hoo.Tarzan!" "Estyn's Shadow" "Jessicat" and "My favourite Bottles.‎

‎GARTH WILLIAMS: LETTERS TO HIS DAUGHTERS. Together with: <br /> <br /> 3 black and white snapshots of new wife Alicia and son Juan Miguel; 1" x 2" each. <br /> <br /> <br /> During this period Williams was living in Guanajuato Mexico with Alicia and their Juan Miguel. He signed his letters "Papá" "Garth" or in one instance "Sam Crabgrass." Williams sends updates about his health work and travel schedule shares anecdotes about his childhood and most frequently expels fatherly advice especially to the younger Jessica. He often writes rhyming or nonsensical sentences and in one letter writes phonetically in a Cockney accent "Ow's me ole chum" July 1 1963. Jessica and Estyn were both teenagers during this time. <br /> <br /> In his first letter Williams sends a brief description of his new wife - thirty years his junior - and son "She was born in Guanajuato in 1942 on Oct. 24th. Alicia. Alice in english. She is 5 foot 3 inches tall. weight 100 lbs. Dark brown eyes black hair. Her son is Juan Miguel. He is 6 months old now" June 5 1962. <br /> <br /> Williams sends letters filled with fatherly advice and sometimes shares stories about his boyhood. In one letter to Jessica Williams informs her about boys: <br /> <br /> I see from recent letters you have written that perhaps you will be like everyone else and get mixed up with other people; not just girls but even with those horrible creatures - boys. When you get mixed up with boys you often get mixed with girls and mixed up altogether; because it is like measles-of-the-brain or mumps-of-the-thumper heart. February 20 1963 <br /> <br /> He goes on to share a long anecdote about when he has his first clash of the sexes - at age 10 - with two neighborhood girls named Betty and Pat who were sisters and concludes with the realization that "When you feel love which you may not be - no advice is any good even when you know it is good advice and suggests that Estyn maybe able to help her too. <br /> <br /> A couple months later Williams writes a similar letter to Estyn though this time his advice is about morals: "You have to work out a code to live by when you are living by your rules you can say you are being moral. When not - immoral or unmoral" April 29 1963. He also tells Estyn that morals change and that "What USED to be bad is now OK" and gives the following example: <br /> <br /> My mother did all the wrong things. She smoked a pipe rode a bicycle wore bloomers and ended up being chained to the railings in Hyde Park with a Mrs Pankhurst when they wanted to get the right to vote for women etc etc. Most people considered her unmoral in her behaviour. She was an art student in Paris for five years; - pretty dreadful. ibid.<br /> <br /> In a long undated letter to Jessica Williams responds to her questions about God admitting "I don't know any more than you do" n.d. The explains that the topic is vast and unknowable but suggests studying about religion and recommends that she read Santayana. <br /> <br /> It is clear that sometimes Williams masks his concern with humor or downplays serious discussions. When he found out that Jessica had started smoking he wrote her explaining how her genes make the habit especially dangerous for her: <br /> <br /> My reason for warning you is - you inherit from your mother the same tendencies. See a doctor about it. Have him check you for bad circulation. People with bad circulation cant smoke. They feel colder than everyone else. Their fat does not help. They are lousy bed fellows with far too many covers and icy feet" May 4 1967. <br /> <br /> He suggests that Jessica "Take peppermint Brighton Rock Kandy Kisses Humbugs Lollypops - anything. Create a new craze - eating candy instead of smoking. Create a distinctive image - the girl who chews lemon rind. Unique" ibid. <br /> <br /> Williams's drawings usually illustrate something about Jessica or Estyn or something that Williams had seen. His card to Jessica for her October 1964 birthday shows her sleeping in bed with a full stomach and a candle stuck in her belly-button a pair of elaborate red boots discarded at the foot of the bed with the instruction to "Eat too much drink too much and sleep late - the secret of a lovely life - by J.W./We hope your birthday boots are keeping your tootsies warm" October 1964; "Estyn's Shadow" shows a slim Estyn in profile with eyes downcast with a bosomy and full-skirted shadow behind her 1964; "Jessicat" is a portrait of Jessica's face with cat-like eyes and paws 1964; and "My favourite Bottles" features two bottles labeled "Foot Lotion" and "Reducing Balm" with human-like proportions. unknown books‎
