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.

Symptoms of Dislocations.

Symptoms of Dislocations: There are certain symptoms which are present in most dislocations, whereby they are recognized and distinguished from fractures. These are :

Firstly Deformity. - The unnatural outline in a dislocation is observed especially in the vicinity of the joint. In case of fracture of the long bones, the deformity is usually apparent at some point between the joints.

In every case it is advisable to compare the injured joint with the corresponding one of the opposite side. To do this the body should be stripped of all clothing at and around the two joints.

Second, Loss of Motion of the Joint. - This serves to distinguish a dislocation from a fracture, which is usually characterized by an unnatural freedom of movement. The loss of motion which accompanies a dislocation is observed not simply when the patient himself attempts to move the injured member, but also when such an attempt is made by another person. In case of fracture there is frequently a loss of power on the part of the patient to move the limb, while a second individual can readily elicit all the natural and some unnatural movements.

Dislocations like other injuries are accompanied by swelling, pain and tenderness at the point of injury. These are usually more pronounced in case of dislocations than in fractures.

There are some cases in which it becomes impossible even for a surgeon to determine precisely whether or not a dislocation has occurred ; this is especially apt to be the case so soon as the swelling has occurred. Dislocations may be mistaken for bruises and sprains. In such instances the application of hot fomentations for a few days reduces the swelling and tenderness, after which the nature of the injury can be ascertained with greater accuracy.
