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

Spinal Meningitis.

This is an inflammation of the membranes which surround the spinal cord as it lies enclosed in the back bone. It is a rare disease, because an inflammation affecting the membranes in either the skull or the back bone is not usually confined to the original lo cation, but extends to the brain or to the spinal cord, as the case may be.

Symptoms.-There is pain along the entire length of the spinal column, radiating to the extremities, and aggravated by movements of the body ; there is extreme sensitiveness of the entire surface of the body, so that the least touch or even the wave of air from a fan causes the patient to complain. It is impossible for him to endure the weight of the bedclothes. In a few days the muscles in different parts of the body become stiffened and rigid, and there may be spasmodic contractions of the limbs. The disease runs a rapid course, rarely lasting more than a week, and usually terminating fatally. In the few cases that recover there are apt to remain distortions of the limbs.
