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.

Cancer of the Tongue.

Cancer of the Tongue is a frequent and serious affection. It begins as a sore usually on the side of the tongue, which remains open for a considerable time and does not yield to the treatment that ordinarily suffices to heal such ulcers. After a time the sore becomes deeper and its edges sharp and everted. The ulcer gives rise to considerable pain and may be the source of hemorrhages. Before it has attained large size it emits a peculiarly fetid odor which, with its appearance, may suffice to arouse a suspicion of the nature of the disease. In a few months the glands at the angle of the jaw become enlarged and hard.

If allowed to progress, the cancer finally destroys a large part of the tongue, and, if the patient live long enough, may spread into the throat.

The only hope of relief lies in the early extirpation of the ulcer and of the adjacent part of the tongue. If this be done sufficiently early, the patient may escape with his life ; but if the cancer return, as it usually does when the operation is too long deferred, the most that can be hoped for is a relief from suffering for a few months.
