1899rif. 66627Washington D.C. 1899. A collection of photos several showing the medical training or treatment of service men. Ten of the images 5 x 7 in. are mounted on stiff card stock the other five 4 3/4 x 6 1/2 in. are not mounted. All the photos are very good clear. In twelve of the images the same Army medical doctor Frank G. Atwood is shown: using a skeleton to teach anatomy to a group of privates 1; bandaging the head of an injured soldier who sits beside a bed with a blanket belonging to the "U.S.A. Med. Dept. 1887" 1; attending a bed-ridden patient 3 or a patient in his office 1; examining the teeth of other service men 3; listening to the heart of another soldier using his ear 1; preparing medicines 1; and with his horse and medical bag presumably on the grounds of a post hospital 1. The remaining photos show another man bandaging the ankle of an officer 1; an examination table on a swivel base 1; and a troop of soldiers standing at attention with their rifles on a parade ground 1. These photos are likely all from Atwood's time at the U.S. Army medical department in Washington D.C. Dr. Frank G. Atwood was born in Woodbury Connecticut in 1875. He studied veterinary science at the University of Toronto graduating in 1896. He also took post-graduate courses at Yale Medical School and at Johns Hopkins University studying general medicine and surgery. At the outbreak of the Spanish American War he served with the Medical Department of the U.S. Army in Cuba caring for the sick and injured soldiers there. Following the conflict he returned to Washington D.C. "where he was stationed at the General Hospital in the medical department of the United States army caring for the sick and wounded in the capital city for ten months when he returned to New Haven and resumed the practice of the veterinary science." see: "Modern History of New Haven and Eastern New Haven County" by Everett G. Hill NY: 1918 Vol. II pp. 704-5 . Dr. Frank G. Atwood advertised his services as a veterinarian in a W.C.T.U. community cookbook publication "Proved Receipts" from Clinton Madison and Guilford Connecticut 1904 and included his photograph which helped to identify him as the physician in these photos. His obituary published in the New York Times on Sept. 15 1936 states that as a "pioneer research student under Dr. Osler he was active in the Spanish War in the work to stamp out yellow fever." He also operated a large veterinary hospital in New Haven Connecticut for a quarter century. unknown books

1833rif. 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.

1826rif. 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
rif. 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
1936rif. 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.

Something his readers should be aware of when following the recipes. He also warns that general treatment and care of animals is as important as the suggested remedies on offer.

This is in preparation for making fundamental changes and suggestions to practices and organization now that German independence had been re-established.
