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.

Polyp of the Ear.

Polyp of the Ear: A polyp is a little fleshy tumor which grows in the bony chan nel of the external ear, usually as the result of a long-continued discharge from the ear. It generally projects from the bottom of the channel, where it may be seen as a bright red mass, partially obstructing the passage to the membrane of the drum. This may become so large as to fill the entire channel of the meatus, and even to project from the orifice of the ear.

When there is an opening in the membrane of the drum, proud flesh sometimes forms behind this membrane and projects through it into the auditory meatus, causing an appearance similar to that of a polyp.

Symptoms.- The polyp may exist in the ear a long time without causing any symptoms which attract the attention of the patient. If it becomes so large as to obstruct the entrance into the ear, it is apt to occasion a certain amount of deafness. If it grow from the middle ear tnrough an opening in the membrane of the drum, there is frequently a purulent discharge from the ear.

Treatment.- A polyp must be removed entirely by a sur gical operation ; no medicines taken internally nor applied directly to the growth will affect it. It is, therefore, necessary to employ the services of a surgeon.
