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.

Poisoning from Colored Fabrics.

Poisoning from Colored Fabrics: A large number of cloths and papers used in the arts are colored with compounds of arsenic ; and many articles for personal wear are colored with aniline dyes which, in most cases, contain arsenic as an impurity.

Wall papers, window shades and carpets are frequently colored green with what is popularly known as Paris green, a compound of arsenic and copper. In course of time the wear on the carpets, wall papers, etc., liberates a number of particles of arsenic which float in the air and are inhaled by the occupants of the room.

Chemical examination of the dust in rooms containing these articles has repeatedly shown the presence of a perceptible quantity of arsenic. That this quantity may sometimes become a dangerous element can be comprehended when it is known that a square foot of wall paper has been found by analysis to contain thirty-five grains of arsenious acid (white arsenic). Dr. Kedzie, of Michigan, examined the paper in five cases in which poisoning had occurred ; he found from one to five grains of arsenic in every square foot of the paper.

Aside from these articles-wall paper, etc.-there are numerous articles in every­day use which are colored with arsenic and are often the cause of injurious effects. Children's toys, for instance, are very frequently the source of injury from the arsenic which they contain; wafers, table mats, confectionery papers, artificial flowers, etc., have all been known to cause poisonous effects.

The aniline colors themselves are quite incapable of causing injury; but since arsenic is used in the preparation of the dyes, these latter often contain a sufficient quantity of the poison to exert an injurious effect when long applied to the skin. The most common ways in which the aniline colors cause poisoning is by the use of stockings and under garments.

The first effect is simply an irritation of the skin manifested by the formation of pimples ; if the cause be not recognized and avoided, a serious skin disease and even constitutional effects may follow.
