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.

Bruises.

Bruises: A bruise consists in the rupture of blood vessels by application of violence, and the escape of the blood into the surrounding tissues.

If no further injury be inflicted than the simple damage to the flesh, perfect recovery may be expected with no other detriment than the annoyance and pain occasioned by the violence.

Treatment.-The object of treatment is to prevent, so far as possible, the escape of blood into the tissues, and to promote the absorption of the blood which has already escaped.

To check the flow of blood some cold application should be made to the part. Ice or ice-water is the most convenient, and can readily be obtained. It is not wise to apply leeches or to use other measures for removing the blood which has accumulated in the tissues ; for this blood is already clotted, and can best be removed by the natural process of absorption.

The only danger to be apprehended occurs in case of extensive lacerations of the tissues, by which a large blood vessel has been injured. In such cases there is some danger of mortification of the skin, and even of the flesh underneath.

In such instances it is absolutely necessary to keep the part constantly moist and warm. This can be done by applying hot fomentations over the entire surface, and renewing them as often as the temperature is decreased.

In rare instances the blood accumulated in the tissues putrefies, giving rise to the formation of matter. In this case the skin should be freely opened and the blood removed, after which the wound should be thoroughly and repeatedly cleansed with the following solution:

Listerine, ----- Two ounces.
Water, ------ Ten ounces.
