Whole volume. 2 1142pp. Text illustrations. 214 x 145 mm. 19th-century half calf marbled boards light rubbing and wear. Very good.</p> <p> First Edition journal issue. Snow's first real paper on ether anesthesia containing the first illustration of his regulating ether inhaler the earliest such device to control the amount of ether vapor received by the patient. Snow's paper published on 19 March 1847 appeared prior to his separately published pamphlet On the Inhalation of the Vapour of Ether in Surgical Operations October 1847; it was preceded only by three small tables on ether saturation of air that Snow published in the Medical Times London Medical Gazette and The Pharmaceutical Journal in January and February 1847. </p> <p>When ether anesthesia was introduced to England in late 1846 Snow immediately began experimenting with the process; he eventually became the first physician to limit his practice to anesthesiology. As the earliest specialist in clinical anesthesiology Snow was also the first to perform experiments on the physiology of the anesthetized state the results of which laid the foundations for the development of anesthesiology as a science. In the present paper Snow included an updated version of his table of the proportion of ether to air at temperatures ranging from 38 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Garrison-Morton.com 12954.

184945527London 1849. <p>Snow John 1813-58. On the pathology and mode of communication of cholera. In London Medical Gazette n.s. 9 1849: 745-755; 923-929. Whole volume. 2 1129pp. Text illustrations. 214 x 133 mm. 19th century half calf cloth boards hinges split some wear. Internally very good. Library bookplates.</p> <p> First Edition journal issue. Snow first became interested in cholera at Newcastle-on-Tyne during the epidemic of 1831-1832 and recurrent outbreaks of the disease gave him the opportunity to investigate it in detail. His paper on cholera published shortly after his extremely rare 31-page pamphlet On the Mode of Communication of Cholera contained his first demonstration of the specific nature of the disease which he defined correctly as an infection of the alimentary canal transmitted by ingesting fecal matter from cholera patients in most cases via contaminated water. Snow proved his theory of cholera transmission by collecting data on a large number of outbreaks and correlating them to local water supplies. He argued based on his data that cholera was caused by "a specific living waterborne self-reproducing cell or germ" Dictionary of Scientific Biography—a conclusion all the more remarkable in that it predated the germ theory of disease by over a decade. </p> <p> Snow may have been motivated to contribute his paper to the London Medical Gazette because a review of his separately published pamphlet published in that journal on pp. 466-470 of the 1849 volume stated that he had not proved the contagious nature of cholera. Snow's theory of cholera transmission aroused much controversy among physicians many of whom still held the ancient belief that cholera and all other infectious diseases were carried by atmospheric "miasmas" emanating from noxious sources. Snow was vindicated a few years later however when during the great London cholera epidemic of 1854 he located the source of infection at the Bow Street pump and persuaded local authorities to remove the pump's handle causing a dramatic drop in the rate of infection. Snow's work on cholera greatly influenced sanitary reformers such as Sir Edwin Chadwick and provided critical support for the work of Pasteur and Koch in the 1860s and 1870s. </p> <p> Collectors of John Snow's work on cholera have tended to focus on and drive up the prices of his 1849 pamphlet and his 1854 book and to ignore the revolutionary conclusions that Snow drew in this paper of 1849.

By 1845 it had acquired a water privilege and industrial building along the Woonasquatucket in the Olneyville section of Providence.
