BOOKS ON OLD MEDICAL TREATMENTS AND REMEDIES

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.

19th CENTURY HEALTH MEDICINES AND DRUGS

Acute Inflammation of the Liver.

This disease usually begins with shivering, perhaps with a pronounced chill, followed by fever, nausea and vomiting; the tongue is heavily coated, yellow or white ; the bowels are consti- pated ; the urine is scanty, but often of a deep brown color ; the patient complains of a bitter taste in the mouth ; the matter vom ited is usually yellow or greenish yellow. There is usually consid erable pain over the liver, sometimes very sharp and increased by coughing, by deep breathing, or by pressure upon the affected part. There may be also jaundice and pain in the right shoulder, though these symptoms are not always present.

Treatment.-The disease, if devoid of complications, usually terminates in one or two weeks ; the only treatment necessary is the employment of a light diet, and the use of some remedy which may promote the escape of the bile. For this latter purpose the most useful agent is blue mass, two grains of which may be given as a pill at bedtime, to be followed in the morning by the usual dose of citrate of magnesia ; or one-fourth of a grain of podophyl- line may be taken morning and night for three days. If the fever be high, warm baths will be both beneficial and agreeable. In warm climates, inflammation of the liver is more common than among us, and often results in the formation of an Abscess of the Liver.
