MEDICAL INTRO
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.

Diabetes Insipidus.

This affection presents some of the symptoms of diabetes mel- litus, just described; but it is a far less serious affection. Symptoms.-The premonitory symptoms may be essentially those of genuine diabetes; and the patient soon begins to pass excessive quantities of water, amounting even to ten or twenty pints daily. The thirst is intense, the skin becomes hot and dry ; the patient gradually loses flesh and strength, the appetite becomes impaired, and in a certain number of cases a fatal result ensues. It occurs more frequently among males than among females, and usually begins in childhood or youth. It may last for many years, or even for a lifetime, sometimes ending spontaneously, and often cured by the occurrence of some acute disease.

Cause.-It has been supposed that disease of the brain, habitual drunkenness and injuries to the head are active agents in inducing this disease ; though in some cases of it none of these causes can be reasonably supposed to exist.

Treatment.- It is sometimes possible to arrest the disease by the administration of ergot, a teaspoonful of the tincture being given three times a day, and gradually increased to two tea- spoonfuls.

It is important to distinguish this disease from diabetes mel- litus ; not only for the sake of the patient's feelings, but also be­ cause the treatment need not be so rigorous as in the case of the latter disease, for in diabetes insipidus it is not necessary to with­ hold sugar and starch from the patient.
