ISBN: 0691082979 9780691082974 "Lester King always termed himself a self-made historian. By this he meant simply that he had received no advanced degree in that subject. But in his chosen area of specialization the Eighteenth Century his scholarship was widely accepted and sometimes seminal. His contributions were recognized in many ways most notably in his long-term connection with the American Association for the History of Medicine. He was president of the Association in 1974 and 1975; delivered the prestigious Garrison Lecture in 1975; received the 1977 William H. Welch Medal for best book in the history of medicine; and was the first recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award in 1988. In 1964 he received the Boerhaave Medal from the University of Leyden. King was also an active participant in the Chicago Medical Historical Society. He was a member of the Department of History University of Chicago through most of the 1970s and 1980s. King was Senior Editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association JAMA from 1963 until 1973 and Contributing Editor for many years after that. In the 1960s a happy decision by John Talbott then editor-in-chief of JAMA made King the book review editor." Charles G.

1842M13976Boston:: The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal vol. XXV no. 26 February 2 1842. 1842. 8vo. pp. 409-424. Disbound. Very good. RARE. First American issue. Also published "On asphyxia and on the resuscitation of still-born children" London Medical Gazette vol. 29 5 November 1841: pp. 222-27. / Between 1839 and 1841 Snow experimented with a guinea pig suffocating the creature and then beginning a dissection. He found that an hour after death that he perceived a "slight vermicular motion in the right auricle. He opened the trachea and began artificial respiration. The heart's ventricles began to move and through the coast of the left atrium the chamber that receives blood from the lungs he could see oxygen-rich bright red blood. The heart continued to contract weakly unable to expel blood from its chambers but it kept beating rhythmically for forty-five minutes. . . . This particular experiment took place in the course of his investigations into respiration and asphyxia undertaken with the desire to establish the physiological basis for pulmonary resuscitation on infants." Snow was witnessing one in twenty births being stillborn many of whom were asphyxiated. Many methods of resuscitating were tried including electrical shock mouth-to-mouth resuscitation etc. "Snow surmised that the line between life and death was not fixed and the heart retained its irritability its ability to be stimulated by oxygen beyond death." With this study done Snow's recommendation was to use his "artificial respirator on still-born infants." p. 1-3. This whole effort was to reinforce Snow's experimental method to study a medical problem. Because of this experience he was encouraged to continue his research practices. The announcement created a varied debate wherein many opinions and experiences were expressed. This led if indirectly to his use in 1848 to apply chloroform to a patient with a difficult birthing history. p. 4. – Vinten-Johansen et.al. / "Shepard considers this paper particularly significant for Snow's later anesthesia research."
