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.

Inversion of the Eyelids.

This condition, Inversion of the Eyelids, technically known as trichiasisy frequently occurs as the result of granular lids. The edges of the lids become thickened, a condition which, in itself, tends to turn the lashes inward toward the globe of the eye ; this tendency is aggravated by the fact that the inner surface of the lid is drawn inward by the granulations.

The first effect of this inversion of the lids is to make the lashes rub against the globe of the eye. The result of this position of the hairs is first a severe irritation of the cornea, which results in a haziness and opacity of this structure. The growth of the hairs themselves is also impaired ; they become stunted and changed in the direction of their growth. After a time the hairs become brittle, and perhaps only a few stumps are left here and there to mark the position of the eyelashes.

Treatment.-Since the condition depends upon granulations of the eyelid, it can be relieved only when these granulations have been removed. After this has been accomplished, measures may be taken to remedy the condition and position of the eyelid. To effect a cure a surgical operation is usually required, hence it will be unnecessary to discuss the treatment in detail. Temporary relief can, however, be obtained by pulling out the eyelashes. To do this the edge of the lid should be raised somewhat from the eye, since the lashes which cause the irritation are often situated out of sight when the lid retains its natural position. When the edge of the lid is thus raised there will often be seen a row of stumps projecting toward the surface of the eye. These should be pulled out, one by one. Further than this it is not advisable for the non-professional to go.
