MEDICAL INTRO
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.

Guinea Worm.

This parasite is found only in tropical regions, especially on the western coast of Africa. It finds its way into the skin of the feet and legs of individuals who walk barefoot over swampy ground and in shallow streams. A small vesicle forms on the foot or leg, and finally bursts, giving exit to a number of small worms ; these are the young brood, the mother remaining in the tissue just under the skin. This adult worm is from six inches to five or six feet long, and a twelfth of an inch broad - it is said that the natives remove the worm by seizing the end of it and winding it round a stick, windlass fashion; or a little weight is attached to the worm, which is thus gradually drawn out of the skin. The disease is a long, tedious and painful one, though fortunately rare outside of the tropics.
