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.

Sciatica.

Sciatica is the name usually applied to neuralgia in the large nerve called the sciatic. This nerve runs along the back of the hip, and passes down the posterior side of the thigh, and it is in the longest course that the pain is especially felt. In some instances, sciatica is caused by pregnancy and by tumors in the pelvis, which press upon the nerve ; but in the majority of cases it appears to be a functional disease.

The pain may be so intense that the patient refuses to move the affected limb, and feels compelled to keep the bed. Indeed, any movement of the leg is apt to be painful. In other cases the patient can walk, though with difficulty, and he experiences pain, especially when the weight of the body comes upon the affected leg. Sometimes the pain diminishes, or even ceases, after the patient has walked a little, being severe only at the beginning of the exertion.

It is important to distinguish sciatica from certain other diseases which occasion pain in and around the hip joint. Sciatica occurs more frequently in males than in females, and is oftener observed in advanced life than among the young ; practically, it never occurs before the age of twenty.
