1890réf. 162101890. Cowles Clara S. Two letters and associated professional cards 1893-1896 document Cowles's medical education through examination results and written commendations from physicians and instructors. The earliest records place her at the National Homeopathic Medical College of Chicago where W. M. W. Davison M.D. congratulated her on an academic paper and separately certified scores of 90 in Histology and Physiology and 100 in another recorded subject. A second surviving card signed by E. S. Reed Professor of Dental Surgery records a standing of 98 in Dental Surgery for the 1892-1893 session. Three years later physicians L. D. Rogers and Ida Wright Rogers corresponded with Cowles at El Dorado Kansas concerning additional examination papers. The documents preserve named instructors subjects scores and evaluations from a woman's professional medical training during the 1890s. The group comprises two letters and six associated business cards. 1 Davison W. M. W. March 16 1893. Autograph letter signed on National Homeopathic Medical College of Chicago letterhead. One page 9 x 5¾ inches. Davison writes "Miss Cowles Kindly I wish to congratulate you for your most excellent paper." An accompanying Davison business card also dated March 16 1893 certifies that "Miss C S Cowles has passed the examination in Histology and Physiology" and records her standings as "90 in the former and 100 in the latter." Another card from E. S. Reed is inscribed and signed on the verso: Miss C. S. Cowles "has a standing of 98 in Dental-Surgery for the session of 1892 & '93." 2 Rogers L. D. M.D. and Ida Wright Rogers M.D. January 24 1896. Typed letter signed on The People's Health Journal letterhead. One page 8½ x 11 inches. Addressing "Miss Clara Cowles El Dorado Kas." the physicians acknowledge receipt of her "first examination papers" and report "We have returned the papers. They were excellent." They also thank Cowles for supplying the names of two friends and encourage continued correspondence: "Let us hear from you often." A joint business card for Drs. Rogers & Rogers and four additional physicians' cards accompany the correspondence; one bears a penciled address for dentist E. S. Reed. The surviving papers trace Cowles through several forms of professional evaluation rather than merely identifying her as a medical student. Davison's congratulations the numerical results in histology physiology and dental surgery and the Rogerses' assessment of her later examination papers record specific measures of her academic performance between 1893 and 1896. They also identify a network of physicians and medical educators who corresponded with her as she pursued professional training. The Davison letter is in excellent condition with two horizontal folds. The Rogers letter has two vertical folds and one horizontal center fold with a small tear at the upper-left crease; otherwise very good condition. A compact documentary record of a woman's medical education in the 1890s preserving her examination performance and direct commendations from the physicians and instructors evaluating her work. unknown books

1900réf. 162081900. Original photograph of an operating room and surgical team early twentieth century showing two women among eleven medical personnel gathered around a patient during a surgical procedure. One woman positioned at the left wears an operating apron and rubber gloves placing her within the immediate surgical environment rather than among unidentified observers outside it. The second woman stands at the opposite edge of the group. Their precise professional roles cannot be determined from the photograph alone but their presence records women working within a medical setting during a period when women were establishing careers as physicians surgeons nurses and other hospital professionals. Original sepia photograph 8 x 10 inches. Eleven figures dressed predominantly in white surround a patient on an operating table. Most appear to be men; two women stand at the edges of the group including the woman at left wearing an apron and rubber gloves. The room clothing operating table and other visible equipment provide evidence of contemporary surgical practice and hospital procedure. No names institution location or date are supplied and the photograph does not provide sufficient evidence to identify the participants' specific medical positions. The image preserves the physical arrangement of an early modern operating room while documenting women's presence among its medical personnel. The gloved and aproned woman at left is particularly notable because her clothing associates her directly with the procedure although the photograph does not establish whether she served as a physician surgeon nurse or in another capacity. Light surface scuffing two water marks in the lower-left quadrant and dirt and staining along the image borders; light crease at upper-left corner and a small tear to the lower-right edge. Image remains crisp and clear; good condition. A detailed visual record of women working alongside men in an early twentieth-century surgical setting. unknown books
1895réf. 162091895. Houston E. C. Autograph letter signed to Dr. Lydia Bailey 1895 documents a male physician deliberately seeking a woman physician as a prospective wife and the personal scrutiny directed toward a professionally educated woman in late nineteenth-century courtship. Writing from Memphis Tennessee to Bailey in Philadelphia Houston addresses her professionally as "Dear Doctor" and explains that he wishes to correspond with a "lady physician" with marriage in mind. His stated preference is explicitly tied to professional education: he seeks a woman "educated in the same profession" because he believes he "could love her better" than a wife who did not share his medical background. The letter acknowledges Bailey first as a physician while simultaneously subjecting a prospective professional equal to detailed questions about marriage biography and physical appearance. Houston E. C. 1895. Autograph letter signed to Dr. Lydia Bailey Philadelphia. Six pages 7¾ x 5 inches. Houston supplies information about himself and asks Bailey to reciprocate with particulars about her background. His inquiries extend to her physical measurements including "height weight and measurement around hips waist & chest" placing unusually specific questions about her body alongside his expressed interest in her medical education. Accompanying the letter are the original envelope Houston's calling card identifying him as a medical doctor and a blank prescription sheet bearing his medical credentials. These supporting pieces substantiate the professional identity from which Houston writes and preserve the medical stationery associated with his Memphis practice. By 1895 women had established a sustained presence in American medical education and practice but they remained a small minority of physicians and continued to encounter institutional and social barriers within the profession. Houston's letter records one consequence of that changing professional landscape at the level of private correspondence: the possibility that a male physician might seek a spouse specifically because she possessed the same professional training. His language also shows how recognition of a woman's medical status could coexist with conventional expectations surrounding marriage and female appearance. Two worn horizontal mailing folds with separation beginning along fold edges; minor tape repairs to sheets two and three and light handling soil while the handwriting remains clean and legible. Original envelope calling card and prescription sheet present; very good condition. A direct record of professional status courtship and gender expectations addressed to an American woman physician in 1895. unknown books
1991réf. 142191991. Sabin Albert B. Autograph note reflecting on intellectual influences late in the career of the scientist who developed the first successful oral vaccine against poliomyelitis. Albert B. Sabin became internationally known during the mid twentieth century for creating the live attenuated oral polio vaccine a development that transformed global public health by enabling mass immunization campaigns against one of the most feared diseases of the twentieth century. Written in 1991 when Sabin was eighty four years old this note records a reflective statement on the book that he regarded as having a profound influence on his understanding of scientific discovery and intellectual history. Sabin Albert B. Autograph Note Signed. February 14 1991. One page measuring 8.5 x 4 inches. In bold black fineline pen Sabin writes about the book he considered most influential in shaping his philosophical outlook late in life: "I have read many books in my 84 years that had an impact on my career and philosophy of life but not until I began reading and re reading the book named below did I realize how ignorant I was all my life: 'THE DISCOVERERS: A History of Man's Search to Know His World and Himself' by Daniel J. Boorstin former Librarian of Congress." He signs the note "Albert B. Sabin." Sabin's oral polio vaccine introduced in the early 1960s became the cornerstone of international polio eradication campaigns and remains one of the most consequential medical breakthroughs of the twentieth century. His work dramatically reduced the global incidence of poliomyelitis a disease that had caused widespread paralysis and death during the first half of the century. This late life reflection connects Sabin's own scientific career with a broader intellectual tradition of discovery and inquiry represented by Daniel J. Boorstin's historical study of scientific exploration. Original mailing folds visible; otherwise well preserved. Overall very good to near fine condition. A reflective manuscript note by the virologist responsible for one of the most important medical advances of the twentieth century. unknown books

1833réf. 6283Mexico City 1833. Near fine. Broadside 6.25 x 8.5 inches. Very minor soiling and wear. Cholera was a genuine scourge in 19th-century Mexico and the present work comes out of the epidemic that broke out in August of 1833. According to parish records it is estimated that a total of five percent of the population of Mexico City died as a result with the number of deaths causing overcrowding in both hospitals and cemeteries. The present document describes how the image of Our Lady of Sorrows was venerated in the Casa de los Ejercicios de la Profesa and carried in solemn procession to the church of the convent of the nuns of the Lord of Santa Teresa on Saturday August 17 1833 only eleven days after the first case of cholera was detected in Mexico City. After the conclusion of the novena held in the Metropolitan Church the image of the Most Holy Mary was returned to its temple on September 9 1833; through the supplications made by the faithful to the aforesaid images the great epidemic of cholera morbus was thereby calmed.

1826réf. 37211Harrisburg PA 1826. Folio sheet folded to 4 pp for mailing. Addressed with Harrisburg postmark to Dr. Fairlamb in Downingtown. With tear from seal remnant affecting a single letter. Very Good. "My Dear Fairlamb In as much as the passage of the new Medical school bill will crowd our profession which is already full by offering greater facilities to the study of medicine and as the Jefferson Medical faculty have already given us an earnest that they will prostitute medical honours by conferring them on men unacquainted with medical science the interest of medical men throughout the State is consequently deeply involved. The degree of Dr. of medicine has been conferred on Jonathan Pound a book-binder by the Jefferson College after having attended one course only. Five of the six professors were in favour of conferring a degree on my neighbour Henry Zook who is almost an idiot. A letter was received last night from Dr. Hiester of Reading in which he states that "two quacks in Lebanon county have actually received from the professors of the Jefferson College a promise of the Degree of Doctor of Medicine for exertions which they have made and are still making to send forward petitions in favour of the new medical school. "From such dishonourable proceedings I am confident that your well judging mind will revolt. As the more you view this bill in all its bearings the more you will be convinced that it will interfere with our interest." Harris urges Fairlamb to use his influence by urging Representative Hunt to oppose the bill. Hon. William Harris 1799-1865 a civil engineer was the son of James Harris a Pennsylvania State Senator and cofounder of the town of Bellefonte. He was son-in-law of Dr. George Ashbridge Fairlamb 1784-1829. Dr. Fairlamb received his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1808 and practiced medicine in Downingtown for many years. He also established The Independent Journal of Downingtown a Jackson paper with George Plitt in 1827. unknown books
réf. 11548Four anatomical diagrams & two text illus. in Vol. I and many fine & large color paintings & diagrams in Vol. II. 47; 42 folding leaves. Two vols. 8vo 268 x 194 mm. orig. patterned semi-stiff wrappers new stitching. Japan: from colophon leaf in Vol. II in trans.: "Selected by Mori Masayuki 森正幸 age 66 April 1856 with his two seals; artist EishÅ 栄秋 artist name ChÅkosai 鳥呼斎 given on final leaf of text in Vol. II age 66 copied" with his two seals. These two finely illustrated volumes describe the art of falconry and the medical treatment of falcons as practiced by the Yoshida ryū school founded in the 17th century and one of the two most prominent schools for shogunal falconers the other being the older Suwa ryū. The shogunate granted each school official residences in Edo; the Yoshida ryū was located in Zoshigaya and Suwa ryū in Komagome. The Yoshida school established its own formal techniques and aesthetics of falconry and of the two was considered the more refined with advanced methods of training diet veterinary medicine hunting etiquette and rituals and development of specialized perching positions. Our texts were written by Mori b. 1790 a member of the Yoshida school. He wrote and edited many works on falconry all of which remained in manuscript. Our two manuscripts are part of Mori's larger work "Falconry in Four Seasons" which he compiled in 1854. Our first volume Part VIII of Mori's greater work is concerned with the medical care of falcons and includes discussions of moxibustion diet and herbal medicines. Falcons are subject to a number of respiratory parasitic and viral diseases many of which are diagnosed here; remedies using herbal medicines are provided. Falcons also suffer attacks by other birds cranes geese eagles etc. and animals and the text offers treatments for broken claws and beaks wounds and cuts bone fractures and mouth and nostril bleeding. There are instructions on the proper feeding of falcons meats of various kinds. The illustrations in the first volume depict four anatomical cross-sections of falcons. The first two show moxibustion locations and the second two show likely areas of injury. Towards the end are another two fine illustrations showing successful and unsuccessful applications of moxibustion. The text also includes many materia medica recipes dosages and proper usage. Our second volume is also part of Mori's masterwork and is beautifully illustrated with a series of seven splendid paintings of falcons. The first image identifies and names all the feathers of the bird when its wings are spread along with the parts of the legs and talons. The other paintings include a careful and detailed image of the head wings and talons and images of the bird's physique one from the posterior and and another from the front identifying all the parts of the head. The final image depicts a falcon's skeleton. This is followed by another series of 12 paintings of the falcon's prey pheasants rabbits quail heron ducks etc. Each prey animal is shown carefully hung and bled. In another series of three pages of paintings we see the equipment used for training and keeping falcons baskets and tools and the very elaborate cages used to transport the falcons. The final pages show a six-page panorama of a falconer carrying a falcon on his arm to the field prey flying in the distance the falcon in pursuit and the falconer separating the falcon from its prey. The final leaf of the second volume bears the seals of the author Mori and the artist EishÅ with the date 1856. Fine condition. There is some worming throughout carefully repaired. Preserved in a chitsu. unknown books
1936réf. 6273Various locations 1936. Very good. Twenty-nine letters and documents totaling 36pp. plus a 10pp. manuscript and additional related photos ephemera and clippings. A few items dated later or earlier. Old folds some light wear and scattered soiling. An interesting archive of items relating to the career of Amos Osborne Squire the Chief Physician at Sing Sing Prison in the 1920s and the medical examiner for Westchester County for nearly twenty-five years. Squire 1876-1949 was a graduate of the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1899 subsequently establishing his medical practice in Ossining. He ran a private sanitarium from 1910 to 1920 and was appointed chief physician at Sing Sing prison in 1914. Though opposed to capital punishment he held this post for ten years before deciding it was too emotionally taxing. He served as the medical examiner for the county from 1925 until his death in 1949. He published a book about his experiences at Sing Sing in 1935. The centerpiece of the present archive is a ten-page typescript with annotations and corrections on the subject of capital punishment. It appears to be the text of a speech Squire gave on the subject and in it he highlights the danger of condemning an innocent man. He proceeds to provide the details of a particular death penalty case that illustrated his concerns writing in part: "I thought for a good many years that it might be necessary to have capital punishment in order to deterr sic murder but being connected with Sing Sing Prison and having had an opportunity of studying more than 200 men condemned to death and taking part in 138 electrocutions.I have come to the conclusion for some time past that the death penalty does not lessen murder. . One of the importent sic factors in the conviction of Steilow was expert testimony and where expert testimony is received.I do not feel that too much weight should be given to such testimony unless it is corroborated by more exact facts. . It may be well enough to send a man to prison on expert testimony for a period of years but no one who has stood by the side of.the rigid form of the person being electrocuted will believe that the extreme penalty of death should be imposed on such expert testimony." Correspondence within the archive concerns legal cases autopsies and Squire's career with the New York Naval Reserves. Some of the legal letters concern worker's compensation or insurance claims. One of these from 1944 concerns an electrocution -- something with which Squire was all too familiar. He reviews the details of the case his research on the subject and concludes "I personally autopsied 138 men who were legally electrocuted at Sing Sing Prison. I have read the report by Dr. Brian Stookey and I agree with him in every respect.that the claimant in this case could not have been injured by 15000 volts and a half milliampere of current which would have produced progressive muscular atrophy." There are likewise some travel receipts and medical receipts as well as four photographs which depict Dr. Squire and his wife. A wonderful and interesting archive of an important medical figure in New York State. unknown books

James Hayes Bght. at Rob't. Alexander's sale Doc. the 14th June 1812. "And to whom am I so bound by the tenderest ties of affection and gratitude as to Mr. Jefferson" from the Dedication. The author's father Jesse was a school classmate - at William & Mary - and life long friend of Thomas Jefferson. Ewell sent Jefferson a copy of the book Sowerby Catalog #893 and in response March 1808 Jefferson wrote: I return you my thanks for the copy of the Medical Companion you have been so kind as to send me and must particularly express my sense of the favorable sentiments expressed towards me in the beginning of the work; especially too where it recalls to my recollection the memory of your respectable father who was the friend & companion of my youth and for whom I retained through life an affectionate attachment. the plan of your work is certainly excellent and its execution as far as I am a judge worthy of the plan. it brings within a moderate compass whatever is useful levels it to ordinary comprehension and as a Manual will be a valuable possession to every family . . . . Ewell was the first to: " . use ice internally in dysentery cases. He established himself in Savannah Georgia with the help of Thomas Jefferson and there introduced vaccination for small-pox Sowerby" His book ran to 10 editions in post-colonial America. The first however is uncommon in the market. The text is divided into three sections: ship board injuries; common cases; ailments of women and children. The 'Table of Medicines' subjoined to the text likely received the most frequent use. It is laid out in a series of charts with dosages and compositions noted matched to the recommendations in the body of the text. Being located in the heart of South the planter's companion was a sure sell encouraging the preservation of valuable assets with minimal cost. As the autograph note illustrates and confirms it was not uncommon in this period for the handful of southern authors to have their books printed "up north" and distributed locally. In this instance recording a copy sold by Ewell himself. The book also manifests signs of hasty "job printing" by Bioren e.g. the awkward insertion of the 4 unnumbered pages of Recommendations printing letters of B Barton N Chapman among others in the introduction; an overlarge typeface selected to print the dedication.

Very good; some spotting to the front board; some wear along the front joint. 8vo xlii 1 - 620 2 - errata pp. 5 large folding charts & tables. A handsome little known book; printed for the military. Bischoff presents a minute analysis of the army's medical practices and organization during the Napoleonic period something he feels had spanned 30 yrs. with suggestions for qualitative and quantitative changes in the post war era. This is in preparation for making fundamental changes and suggestions to practices and organization now that German independence had been re-established. Rarely are such plans presented in print and with such scale and organization. The imprint is most unusual hinting at a limited distribution and print run.
