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.

Molluscum.

The affection, Molluscum, is an enlargement of the sebaceous or oil glands of the skin, which become distended by an accumulation of matter in their cavities. These distended glands may become as large as a pea or even as a hazel nut ; the top is flattened and the center usually somewhat depressed. When the tumor is compressed a whitish cheesy mass-the accumulated secretion of the gland-escapes. These little tumors occur especially on the face, on the eye­ lids, on the neck and on the hands; sometimes they are solitary, but are often arranged in groups. They usually occur in children, and have been supposed to be contagious, since the occurrence of one on the hand of a child is apt to be followed by the appearance of similar growths on the skin of its playmates. Yet numerous efforts to inoculate an individual with the contents of these tumors have failed, and it seems doubtful wrhether they are really contagious. Treatment.-In many cases these little tumors wither away spontaneously, in other instances they become inflamed and matter is formed around them, as a result of which they are ultimately destroyed. They can be readily removed in any one of several ways ; their contents may be squeezed between the thumb nails, and the interior of the sac can be destroyed by touching it with a stick of lunar caustic, or the little tumor maybe snipped out with a pair of scissors.
