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.

Bleeding from the Nose.

Bleeding from the Nose: This accident is rarely attended with danger; even when the bridge of the nose is crushed by a blow, the bleeding is usually checked without the use of any other measures than those which have been already described. In most cases it will suffice for the patient to sit erect while the back of the head and neck are bathed with ice-water. If this be not sufficient to arrest the bleeding, a solution of alum in cold water may be injected up the nostrils with a syringe. In other cases it has been found that bleeding from the nose can be checked by inhaling the vapor of warm turpentine.

In some cases it becomes necessary to resort to mechanical means in order to arrest the bleeding. This is, to a certain extent, working in the dark, since it is not always possible to ascertain from what point the blood issues. It is always better to summon a medical man in cases of bleeding from the nose which resist the measures already described ; but in the meantime a piece of soft cloth, such as an old handkerchief, may be rolled into the shape of a cone of such size that it can enter the nostrils easily. This may be wound with thread so as to make it firm and yet leave the surface smooth. After being dipped in alum water or spirits of turpentine, this plug can then be gently introduced into the nose and allowed to remain there.

At times it becomes necessary to plug the nostrils where they open into the throat as well as in front. This operation can scarcely be performed by any one except a surgeon. Some individuals have a bleeding from the nose periodically, and seem to feel better after it. Such persons usually feel dull and stupid and suffer from headache for a day or two before the bleeding occurs.
