Carman D.D. This original Progressive Era dental/medical manuscript documenting the three years of courses lectures and quizzes at the New Orleans College of Dentistry together with Dr. Carman’s visual aid Fletcherism National Mouth Hygiene Association glass plate slide lecture course provide an historically essential group documenting the advances in dentistry dental surgery and oral hygiene in the first 15 years of the 20th- Century. The New Orleans College of Dentistry was founded in 1899 by Drs. Andrew Friedrichs 1857-1921 pioneering oral surgeon and dental specialist; Dr. Louis D. Archinard 1869-1911 an excellent New Orleans dentist focused on offering medical care to the indigent and poor in New Orleans and his brother Dr. John J. Archinard 1870-1909 physician and oral surgeon who was a Spanish-American War veteran. By 1903 the New Orelans College of Dentistry had purchased and outfitted their first building at 831 Carondelet Street where they would operate until a 1908 fire gutted the building forcing the New Orleans College to affiliate and move to Tulane University. Carman 1886-1948 had studied in Houston TX and entered the New Orleans College of Dentistry in 1905 intending to study and learn the latest advances in the field of dentistry. The opening decade of the 20th-Century oversaw tremendous advances including the adapting of electric motorized drills for dentists X-Ray machines for patients awareness of the dangers of bacteria and bacteriological infections new methods of anesthesia for extraction and the revolutionary use of Vulcanized Rubber as base for artificial dentures. The “Index†or contents by Carman detail his divisions and lecture courses into Prosthetic Dentistry including extensive details on Vulcanization Vulcanizing Rubber preparing and constructing bridges and more; Pathology taught by Archinard with emphasis on hereditary diseases descriptions of inflammation assorted diseases necrosis and suppuration; followed by Anatomy - featuring anatomical manikin and original drawings by Carman; as well as Materia Medica Operative Dentistry Physiology Histology by Dr. J.J. Archinard “The Man that Cleaned up Havana Cuba 1898†chemistry metallurgy bacteriology clinical dentistry operative dentistry continued and more. He also includes the dittoed notes on histology with dittoed sections on tooth enamel nervous system tissues retina and crystlline lens and the preparation of tissues for examination with a microscope. Also included in the courses were embryology dental pathology and more. Carman has incorporated the very first test questions as well as printed examples of medical board questionnaires of States from Ohio to Oregon California and the rest of the West. Upon graduation Carman moved to Salt Lake City where he married Nina Richardson 1890-1965 daughter of the first physician in Salt Lake City and operated a successful practice for nearly 40 years out of the “Judge Building†in SLC up to his death of a heart attack in Los Angeles while on vacation. The Tulane School of Dentistry over seen by Dr. Friedrichs operated at Tulane until June 1928 emphasizing oral hygiene and continuing the original mission of providing care to the poor. Unfortunately it always teetered on the brink of financial ruin and closed in 1928. Horace Fletcher 1849-1919 was known during the Victorian and Progressive Eras as “The Great Masticator†and was a well known and influential food and health quackery specialist and author self-promoter and fanatic on his doctrine of “Fletcherism†which believed that all food had to be deliberately masticated and chewed until it turned to liquid. These glass plate slides emphasize and promote his four main advisories on chewing and swallowing but also the results of examining school children’s teeth in Andover MA indicating that nearly 60% of the children had poor or rotting teeth. Slides show the teeth of young children X-Rays of the skulls abscesses proper brushing and care of teeth with two specifically showing entire classrooms properly brushing their teeth.

‎[MEDICINE - RECIPES].‎

‎Recepten boek.‎

‎The Netherlands 1700. Large agenda 8vo 20.5 x 12 cm. Recased ca. 1720 in its own original ca. 1700 blind-tooled parchment sewn on 3 tapes but previously on 5 cords leaving raised ridges in the parchment of the spine with a large centrepiece on each board in a frame of double fillets. Manuscript in dark brown ink on laid paper with 1 printed and 10 manuscript slips with recipes loosely inserted late 18th & early 19th centuries. pp. 15 16 23-188 197-386 387-412 minus 16 scattered pp. including integral paste-downs and about 160 pp. blank except for the page number. A recipe book in Dutch probably written beginning around 1720 but with additions to at least 1758. Most of the recipes are medicinal but about 15 written pages near the end separated from the others by numerous blanks contain culinary recipes. Among the medicinal recipes one also finds a few for ink shoe polish and other things. The medicinal recipes include treatments for the plague rabid dog bites jaundice worms warts scurvy toothache headache and many other ailments. Unusually the complier cites about a dozen sources for the medicinal recipes. The culinary recipes include several kinds of pancakes waffels and "poffertjes" a popular Dutch treat like tiny puffy pancakes tarts cookies and other sweet treats.A small number of leaves had been used for something else before the present text but they were removed and the rest recased in the original binding to begin the present manuscript. The only remaining clue to this earlier text is in the index leaves at the end where a small number entries at the heads of the pages are written in a different hand and in Latin with references to leaf numbers that are no longer present. They are clearly religious/theological.The manuscript as it now stands has minor marginal defects at the foot of about 40 leaves not affecting the text and occasional minor spots but is still in good condition. The binding is slightly loose due to the removed leaves and the parchment shows a few wrinkles and small spots but the tooling of the centrepiece is clear. A charming manuscript recipe book in Dutch both medicinal and culinary. unknown‎

‎New York: Marston Remedy Company 1905. Revised Edition. <br /><br />16mo 6 3/8 x 4 1/2 inches; 162 x 113 mm 32 pages in stapled wrappers soft cover. <br /><br />Pamphlet from a company offering "medicated" suppositories and contraptions that purportedly treat men's sexual nervous and urinary disorders. <br /><br />One "treatment" involves cocoa butter. "The suppository now glides into the rectum with the most perfect ease by means of a little pressure from the finger and which is often important this method of rectal treatment leaves no traces to excite the curiosity of servants or others." page 10. <br /><br />While most of the "treatments" involve suppositories of one kind or another the company also offers devices to relieve men's suffering illustrations helpfully included. There's "Dr. Curling's Varicocele Truss" which supposedly treats pain in the scrotum. This we're told is preferable to surgery. "Several surgeons have been assassinated by patients whom they have thus made hoplessly sic impotent." page 23. <br /><br />There's also Marston's Urethral Tapers pencil-like devices that "soothe heal and at the same time destroy all germ life. They medicate the entire canal never stain the clothing and are rapid in action." So convenient you can carry them in your pocket. page 27. <br /><br />Marston Remedy Company was a defendant in a number of court cases. "Marston Remedy Company was owned by H.D. Van Leuven of New York. The company's advertising methods proved so outrageously fraudulent -- even for the period -- that in September 1906 the Postmaster-General denied the company the use of the U.S. mails."

‎Autograph letter signed "Bocquillot" to Philippe Hecquet 1661-1737 a famous doctor in Paris; n.p. 21 September 1693‎

‎From the Bart Auerbach Collection. A corner torn from seal with loss of a few letters else fine. 3 1/4 pages plus address panel a bifolium. In French. A densely written letter about human deformity. Answering a letter by Hecquet questioning whether it is theologically sound to baptize deformed babies what he calls "monsters". Bocquillot answers that in some cases the deformity is caused by bestiality and implies that in that case the child is not properly human. He believes however that when the deformity happens naturally what he calls the "mother's fantasy" or some other accident of nature it must be seen as part of God's plan – the “monster†partakes of human nature and so it should be baptized. He goes on to cite St. Augustine's concurrence in this matter in his Enchiridion.<br /> <br /> Summarizing his argument: "Quoi qu'ils ne paraissent point dignes de ce sacrement a cause de leur figure bizarre on les y doit croire dignes par leur nature" Though they don't seem worthy of this sacrament baptism on account of their bizarre appearance we must believe them to be worthy of it on account of their human nature. unknown‎
