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.

Freckles.

Freckles consist in the deposit of an excessive amount of pig ment (the coloring matter of the skin) in irregular patches. This deposit is favored by exposure to the sun, and to excessive heat without sunlight; yet there is a predisposition of the individual to this irregular pigmentation, as is evident from the fact that some persons never have freckles, no matter how much they may be exposed to the sun's rays.

Treatment.-It is sometimes possible to remove freckles by the daily application of the following solution :

Corrosive sublimate, - - Two grains.
Water, - - - - - - Two ounces,
This may be gently rubbed into the skin at the discolored part by means of a piece of flannel. Yet this remedy should be used with extreme caution since it is a most violent poison.
