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.

19th CENTURY HEALTH MEDICINES AND DRUGS

Polyp of the Nose.

Polyp of the Nose: The nose is the seat of tumors called polyps. These occasion a feeling as if the nose were " stuffed up," so that the patient seems to have a continuous cold in the head. This feeling and the accompanying discomfort are usually aggravated in wet weather.

After a time there may occur an occasional discharge of blood in small quantity when the patient blows the nose violently; and there is apt to be an increased discharge from the affected nostril.

Sometimes the patient can bring the polyp into view in the nostril by closing the opposite side of the nose with the finger and then expelling the breath forcibly through the remaining nostril. If the polyp be allowed to remain it keeps increasing in size, blocks up the nostril completely, forces the partition between the nostrils toward the opposite side, and may occasion serious deformity of the face.

Treatment. - The polyp must be seized with a pair of forceps and gently twisted off. This is usually a simple operation, if the tumor be small; when it has attained a large size considerable difficulty may be experienced.
