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

Catarrh of the Middle Ear.

Catarrh of the Middle Ear is one of the commonest affections of the ear, especially in the United States, where catarrh of the throat and nose is so prevalent. It will be remembered that there is a direct communication between the throat and the middle ear through the eustachian tube. It therefore can be readily understood that if the throat and nose have been long subject to catarrh, this affection may spread along the eustachian tube, and finally reach the middle ear. Such is, in fact, the case; a person who suffers much from catarrh of the throat need not be surprised at noticing, sooner or later, some impairment of the hearing.

8ymptoms.-The two most prominent symptoms of this affection are deafness and ringing in the ears. Sometimes a dull pain is felt occasionally, but this is by no means a constant symptom.

Ringing in the ears and deafness are also symptoms accompanying the accumulation of wax in the external ear; hence their presence may indicate merely this harmless affection, and not the more serious one consisting of a catarrh in the middle ear.

Treatment. - This is one of the affections in which the skill of the surgeon is absolutely indispensable in effecting improvement; no benefit can be expected from remedies which can be applied by an unskilled hand.
