Missouri. Patent Medicine
Dr. S. A. Richmond & Co's World's Epileptic Institute caption title
St. Joseph Mo 1882. Very good. 8pp. Newspaper folio. Previously folded. Very minor loss at intersection of folds slightly affecting text. Minor wear at edges. Unopened at top edge. A wonderfully illustrated and rare newspaper promotional for S.A. Richmond & Co.'s patent medicine Samaritan Nervine. Samuel Richmond came to St. Joseph Missouri in the late 1870s and established this "World Epileptic Institute" mostly to sell his elixir which was in fact diluted nightshade. His elaborate advertisements of which this is an example claimed that it not only cured cases of epilepsy but also treated ill-behaved children and sexually dysfunctional elderly men and soothed many other maladies of the nerves. Eventually he was attacked in print by a local newspaper at which point he promptly shot the editor and after being found not guilty by reason of insanity removed to Tuscola Illinois where he continued to produce the potion. This newsprint advertisement provides a vigorous defense of Richmond's product supported by numerous lengthy testimonials. Several illustrations also depict the grounds and offices of his epilepsy institute including strangely though perhaps not surprisingly the press room. OCLC locates only copy at the University of Rochester. unknown books

ROLLING THUNDER / CHIEF / MEDICINE MAN / OF THE / KIOWA NATION / IS HERE / TONIGHT / with his / Medicine & Vaudeville Co.
Chicago IL: np 1890. Broadside 12 x 4 1/2 in. approximately 40 lines of text 200 words illustrated with 2 portraits one of Rolling Thunder and one of his wife and business manager. "Known to his family as Belmont and to the public as Chief Rolling Thunder Louis Belmont Newell was born around 1858 to Thomas Newell and Marie Parsons of Indian Island Old Town Maine. Newell appears to have married several times and his first daughter Blanche was born to Victoria Tahamont around 1886. It is around this time that Newell is first referred to as Chief Rolling Thunder and that his company the Kiowa Medicine Company begins touring. The show was comprised of "moral" entertainment and lectures given on the customs habits manners and religion of tribes. Newell would also sell "traditional Kiowa" medicines and give out health guides. It is uncertain when the company was actually formed and though Newell claimed that he was a descendent of the First Chief Medicine Man of the Kiowa Nation Teet-Toot-Sah this was most likely just for his public image. It is much more likely that his parents were Penobscots from Maine. Newell married Louisa Stump of Iroquois descent in 1891. Louisa was an expert shot and travelled with the Kiowa Medicine Company for some time. In 1894 Newell married his fourth wife Jeanne "Jennie" Congleton who served as business manager for the Kiowa Medicine and Vaudeville Company for many years. Newell died December 1 1933 and was buried in Randolph NY. More information on L.B. Newell has been compiled by descendants of Newell and can be found on Ne-Do-Ba a geneological website for the Wabanaki people." see the Smithsonian Institution SOVA site. <br/><br/> np unknown books

16TH CENTURY MEDICINE CAPIVACCIO Girolamo 1523 1589
Medicina practica sive Methodus cognoscendorum & curandorum omnium corporis humani affectuum
Venice: apud haeredes Melchioris Sessae 1598. First Venice Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Folio 310 x 210mm. 2175pp. 1 301pp. 2 12pp. 175pp. 1. Contemporary dark brown goatskin title and preliminaries lacking and supplied in early manuscript with illustrated printers device some browning and staining least severe after page 9. 17th-century inscriptions on rear endpaper for Index Capitum a medical students description of the various parts. Pictorial wood-engraved ex-libris by Leo Wyatt for Lord Norwich on front endpaper. <br/><br/>First Venice Edition of Capivaccios philosophical practica in Galenic teachings a pillar for medical students of the Renaissance. First edition printed in Frankfurt in 1594 under the title Practica Medicina. Capivaccios lectures were posthumously edited by Johann Hartmann Beyer. This is the first Venice edition of these lectures on the healing sciences by one of the leading Italian medical practitioners of his time is edited by Giovanni Bernardo Sessa. Capivaccio died at Padua in 1589 where he had taught at the university for 27 years. He was a specialist in venereal diseases for which he had developed certain successful cures guarding his secrets jealously from colleagues. Capivaccio applied a philosophical approach to his practica so much so that it is doubtful if it was ever much used as a vade mecum. By writing at such great lengths it is clear Capivaccio wished to educate students rather than give them a handbook. Apart from the wish to restore Galenic teachings and to educate students one motive for Capivaccios practica may have been to bolster the claims of university doctors over the central providers of medical expertise in the Renaissance namely priests wise-women magicians herbalists and travelling empirics. This work important to the reform of the practice of medicine and to the wider concept of dogmatism or rationalism in medicine the Renaissance physician could use Capivaccios work to locate the causes of diseases as well as its signs.

Sennert was an influential German professor notable for his contributions to medicine and atomic theory. Daniel Sennert born in Breslau was a student and the professor of medicine at the University of Wittenberg the intellectual center of Lutheranism. He was a renowned physician and an extremely prolific and influential writer whose popularity in his time is clear from the many editions of his works many of which were translated into English. These are Sennerts complete works in six parts each with a separate dated title page printed in red and black. His Opera was first published in Paris in 1641 and this edition expanded . with the omission of Tabulae institutionum and the addition of Vita Danielis Sennerti Judicia virorum clarissimorum Methodus discendi medicinam De curatione infantium De arthritide Tragopodagra Luciani in Greek and Latin Exoterica Epitome librorum de febribus Epistolarum medicinalium una cum responsorii D. Michaelis Doringei centuriae duae. The Epitome is reprinted from the Epitome edited by Claude Bonnet-- Krivatsy. This edition is regarded as the best. Among Sennerts many achievements he was the first to introduce chemistry as a subject of the medical curriculum and to make a serious effort to harmonize the Galenic doctrines of medicine with those of Paracelsus. Besides giving early accounts of scarlatina and rubella Sennert added to the knowledge of scurvy dysentery and alcoholism. He was an able clinician but a believer in witchcraft.-- Garrison-Morton 61. Scarcely found on the market these volumes are a complete set of Sennerts studies and 17th century medicine. Sennert was known to apply astrology to medicine and the supernatural origins of disease.

Born in 1493 in the very year Columbus returned from his first voyage Monardes thus both occupied a front row seat for first decades of the 'Columbian Exchange' and was ideally positioned to disseminate his findings to a wider European indeed global audience.</p><p>Monardes shared much with his contemporary Garcia d'Orta 1501-68 the Portuguese physician stationed in India and famed for his <i>Coloquios dos simples e drogas e consas medicinais da India</i> Goa 1563: "Just as d'Orta gave the learned world of the West the first accurate accounts of various Asian medicinal and commercial plants so did Monardes with those of America … Monardes like Garcia d'Orta has a strong claim to be regarded as one of the fathers of the science of pharmacognosy. Both of them compiled what were virtually complete monographs on many important items of our actual <i>materia medica</i> which were then unknown or only inaccurately known to the Western World Boxer pp. 23-24. Even the diffusion of these two authors throughout the learned world of early modern Europe shared a common source in the Latin versions made of them by the Flemish physician and botanist Charles de L'Ecluse Carolus Clusius 1526-1609 who published them together for the first time at Antwerp by Plantin in 1574 and afterwards.</p><p>Monardes eagerly capitalized on his unique position in Seville to acquire botanical news specimens and seeds from the New World cultivating his own garden of American plants and distributing cuttings to correspondents throughout Spain and Europe. In 1553 he established a transatlantic business partnership with a colleague in Tierra Firme and over the next three decades Monardes' three sons and four daughters emigrated to Tierra Firme and New Spain thus providing him with a network which would prove invaluable in collecting information for the 1565 <i>Dos libros</i> and in expanding the treatise in its 1571 and 1574 editions published as <i>Segunda Parte</i> and <i>Primera y Segunda y Tercera Partes de la Historia Medicinal</i>. In the <i>Dos libros</i> Monardes describes more than two dozen botanical remedies sarsaparilla copal and other aromatic balsams guaiacum lignum vitae etc. their medicinal applications native nomenclature and where they were to be found Mexico City Jalisco Michoacán Cuba Santo Domingo San Juan Cartagena Honduras Peru Nicaragua. Fascinatingly he views this specialized information through the broader lens of early American exploration discussing the voyages of Columbus and Hernán Cortés Monardes' near contemporary the spread of New World diseases among the first conquistadors and assessing the value of America's medicinal riches against her wealth of gold and silver.</p><p>In his first printed work <i>Dialogo llamado pharmacodilosis o declaracion medicinal</i> Seville 1536 Monardes noted that he was skeptical of the therapeutic value of plants from the New World but "his change of heart between 1536 and 1565 about the value of American <i>materia medica</i> was a gradual process and was due to his own experience" Boxer p. 22. Monardes "took great care after about 1536 to examine those plants imported and/or transplanted into Spain – a self-imposed task facilitated by the unrivaled position of Seville as the sole <i>entrepôt</i> for Spanish trade with the New World … just as d'Orta cultivated Asian plants in his gardens and orchards at Goa and Bombay so Monardes had a botanical garden with native and exotic plants at Sevilla" Boxer 22.</p><p>In addition to Clusius' Latin translation of Monardes <i>De simplicibus medicamentis ex Occidentli India delatis</i> 1574 first Latin edition an English translation appeared in 1577 by John Frampton under the title <i>Joyful newes out of the newe found world. </i>Italian French and German translations followed with the work going through 19 editions during Monardes' lifetime and 14 after his death.</p><p>In the present 1565 first edition of the <i>Dos libros</i> Monardes challenged European travelers and residents in the Americas to "'<i>investigate and experiment with the many kinds of medicines that the Indians sell in their markets or Tianguez; it would be a thing of great utility and profit to see and know their properties and to experiment with their varied and great effects which the Indians make public and manifest through the great experiences they make of them among themselves'"</i> Monardes quoted from Bleichmar <i>Visual Voyages</i> p. 51. But tapping into native knowledge of medicinal matters apparently proved more difficult than Monardes had anticipated: In the 1571 <i>Segunda Parte</i> he notes that the increasing Amerindian hostility to the European presence in the Americas was provoking them to keep their medicinal/botanical practices secret to the point of providing misleading information to colonists seeking local remedies and consequently his 1565 <i>Dos Libros</i> had in fact become the primary source for Indian medicinal knowledge even among Europeans stationed and living in the Americas among the native populace see Bleichmar <i>Visual Voyages</i> p. 51.</p><p>Monardes' other published works include the 1539 <i>De secanda vena in pleuriti inter Grecos et Arabes concordia</i> and his 1540 <i>De rosa et partibus eius</i>. His treatise on the medicinal properties of the bezoar stone is appended to the present <i>Dos libros</i>.</p><p>OCLC locates U.S. examples of this 1565 <i>Dos Libros</i> of Monardes at the National Library of Medicine John Carter Brown Wisconsin Hunt Botanical SMU and NYPL.</p><p> Alden European Americana 565/45; Medina BHA 194; JCB vol. 1 no. 240; Palau 175485; Wellcome 4390; USTC 340089; Garrison & Morton 1817; ; Hunt 106 1569 ed.; Sabin 49936 the 2nd ed.; F.

Newspaper. 11 3/4 x 9 ¼ inches. 7 Issues: vol. 1 nos. 1-3 vol. 2 nos. 5 and 8 and vol. 3 nos. 9 and 10 each issue containing four pages apparently 21 issues in five volumes were published through 1876. This was the third magazine produced by patients in an American asylum the first in the south. The other two were the Asylum Journal Vermont Asylum for the Insane 1842-46 and the Opal New York Asylum 1850-1860. The content much of it dealing with the inner workings of the asylum and its needs includes articles from Darwinism to Spiritualism and engages arguments with the definitions of insanity and the treatments then in practice. Some of the articles are tinged with humor toward the hospital's employees from poetry on the perils of working as a nurse in a hospital for the insane to running an ad for a wife for an official of the hospital. Owen p. 993 No. 21 only his copy. OCLC locates two runs National Library of Medicine: Vol.1 no. 3 and Vol. 2 no. 5; Alabama Department of Archives and History: Vol. 1 nos. 1 &2 ; Vol. 2 nos. 7 & 8; Vol. 3 nos. 9 & 10; Vol. 4 no. 16; Vol. 5 nos. 17 & 18; Vol. 8 no. 21. The Alabama Insane Hospital was conceived under the influence of Dorothea Dix instrumental in the selection of Dr. Peter Bryce as its first superintendent in 1860 and Thomas Story Kirkbride its architect. Bryce 1834-1892 who had studied progressive ideas of treating the insane in Europe would head the institution until his death. The perennially underfunded hospital would prove self sufficient employing the patients to provide food heat and this newspaper both the editorial work and the printing process among other services reflecting the progressive belief of the time that activity settled the mind. Bryce and the hospital became known for innovative treatment of the mentally ill using a "therapeutic approach to treatment so called for its supposed ability to lead patients to an understanding and acceptance of 'right behavior'." The hospital accepted African-American patients including one who had been owned by Dr. Bryce but despite its progressive reputation in treatment the hospital showed the prejudices of the time by separating the patients by race. <br/><br/> Alabama Insane Hospital unknown books
