THE PRACTICAL
HOME PHYSICIAN AND ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MEDICINE
The biggy of the late 1800's. Clearly shows the massive inroads in medical science and the treatment of disease.

ALCOHOL AND THE HUMAN BODY In fact alcohol was known to be a poison, and considered quite dangerous. Something modern medicine now agrees with. This was known circa 1907. A very impressive scientific book on the subject.

DISEASES OF THE SKIN is a massive book on skin diseases from 1914. Don't be feint hearted though, it's loaded with photos that I found disturbing.

Abscess in the Vulva.

Abscess in the Vulva: On either side of the orifice of the vagina are small glands which naturally secrete a watery fluid and communicate by a fine hair-like canal with the surface. At times these canals become closed, and the fluid being no longer allowed to escape, distends the glands themselves, making a doughy, painless swelling. If this condition remain unrelieved there often occurs an abscess in and around the gland. This affection often follows the disease just described - inflammation of the vulva.

Symptoms.- This condition may remain for some time undiscovered, being, perhaps, first detected by pain during intercourse, or by the accidental discovery of a tumor in the part.

This tumor is well defined, soft, and may vary in size from that of a hazel-nut to the dimensions of a small hen's egg ; by the time that pus has formed the vulva is very tender and hot. In many cases the abscess opens spontaneously ; indeed, the first intimation of its existence is sometimes the discharge of matter. In other cases the abscess dries up and disappears spontaneously ; or becpming less tender and painful, it may remain for months or years without seriously inconveniencing the patient.

Treatment.- If there be considerable pain and tenderness, these symptoms may be relieved by the application of a flaxseed poultice or of cloths wrung out in hot water ; indeed, this is usually all that is required. At times the size of the tumor and its consequent interference with natural functions require the evacuation of the matter by the lancet. This should be left to the physician, since he will at the same time take measures to prevent a * recurrence of the abscess - a not infrequent occurrence if no treatment be adopted.
