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.

Whooping-cough.

The Whooping-cough affection is by many classed among nervous diseases, notwithstanding the apparently infectious nature of the complaint. The symptoms of whooping-cough are so familiar that no description is necessary.

Treatment.-The paroxysms can usually be shortened by the use of emetics, which not only provoke vomiting but also loosen the phlegm. For this purpose, we may give a full dose of ipecac or squills.

Aside from this measure, but little treatment seems beneficial. In fact the mild cases do best without medicine, if care be taken to avoid exposure to the cold and to wrap the body well in flannel under­clothing.

To cut short the disease, a great many remedies have been administered ; the fact that these remedies are so numerous, indicates that no one of them can be relied upon for all cases. Good results have been reported from the use of belladonna. The following mixture will be found of service :

Extract of belladonna, - One grain.
Mucilage of gum arabic, - Two ounces.
Give twenty or thirty drops of this every three hours. We may also use to advantage the following prescription :

Fluid extract of hyoscyamus, - - Half a drachm. Orange flower water, - Four ounces.
Mix and give a tablespoonful every three hours. This dose is suited to a child of 12 years, and must be correspondingly reduced for a younger child.
