1843005396London: Simpkin Marshall and Co. 1843. First edition. Blindstamped cloth. Very Good Minus. Presentation copy -- signed by Williams on FFEP. 8vo. 22.5 by 14.5 cm. xi 119 pp. Williams was the senior physician to the Essex and Colchester Hospital. This essay provides "some observation of the tongue's aspect in organic disease of the lungs". Williams argues that observations of the tongue in a distressed patient can hold the key to diagnosing the ailment which afflicts the patient. He provides an abundance of statistical evidence based on clinical observation. He writes "I was induced to enter upon this inquiry from observing that the mucous membrane and papillae of the tongue presented varying aspects in functional disturbances of the stomach." This title predates Yaggy's book on cancer of the tongue and Butlin's book on diseases of the tongue by 40 years and is contemporaneous with Harris' paper on the teeth lips and tongue read before the American Society of Dental Surgeons in 1841. Thus it is perhaps the first and certainly an early study on the relationship of the appearance of the tongue to health and disease. Not in Garrison & Morton. A few neat horizontal tears of cloth on the spine. General wear besides. <br/><br/> Simpkin, Marshall and Co. hardcover books
