Most concern the publication of certain books the relationship of the Faculty with several guilds and the rules concerning the autopsy of corpses.The book opens with the university reform of 1600 which added many classical authors to the curriculum. For the Faculty of Medicine this meant the official establishment of Galen as the primary authority on botanical medicines. Interest in the work of Galen was highly stimulated by new translations from the Greek that had appeared in the 16th century and by 1600 the Paris Faculty was heavily mired in the doctrines of Galen which would remain so up until the 18th century.With a few contemporary annotations and corrections. Paper somewhat browned and with a few spots. A small corner of p. 11 of the index is cut out. Pp. 17-44 of the final part appear to be missing but this seems to be the case in every edition of this text we have located.

78811Four-page pamphlet offered in English and five other languages for Dr. J.H. McLean’s Volcanic Oil Liniment a patent medicine pain reliever claiming to “penetrate to the very bone†and heal ulcers necrosis of the bone the foulest sores pimply eruptions skin worms and more. According to the brochure it could also be used on horses cattle sheep hogs and dogs.<br /> <br /> The liniment was produced and marketed by James Henry McLean 1829–86 who apprenticed with a mining camp physician and worked in a drug store before partnering in 1849 to distribute George A. Westbrook's "Mexican Mustang Linimentâ€. Just a few years later in 1851 McLean launched his own liniment putting him in direct competition with his former partner.<br /> <br /> McLean graduated in 1863 from St. Louis Medical College and continued to expand his patent medicine business. He employed an international sales force and operated fleets of wagons ships and railroad cars to facilitate distribution. McLean was elected U.S. Representative for Missouri to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Thomas Allen. He served from December 15 1882 to March 3 1883.<br /> <br /> At the time patent medicines like this were gaining in popularity but had no regulation. They often contained alcohol or stronger fortifications such as opium cocaine or morphine. But with the backing of President Theodore Roosevelt a Pure Food and Drug Act was passed by Congress in 1906 paving the way for public health action against unlabeled or unsafe ingredients misleading advertising the practice of quackery and similar rackets.<br /> <br /> As testament to McLean’s shrewd marketing efforts this brochure is printed in English German French Spanish “Bohemian†and Swedish/Norwegian. It is printed on tissue thin 11†x 14†newsprint paper in black ink with illustrations folded in half to comprise four pages. The scarce circular is lightly stained with some minor edgewear. No copies are found in the marketplace or OCLC. Holdings of McLean’s Almanac and recipe booklet can be found at the Library of Congress and the American Antiquarian Society. unknown

182637211Harrisburg PA 1826. Folio sheet folded to 4 pp for mailing. Addressed with Harrisburg postmark to Dr. Fairlamb in Downingtown. With tear from seal remnant affecting a single letter. Very Good.<br /> <br /> "My Dear Fairlamb In as much as the passage of the new Medical school bill will crowd our profession which is already full by offering greater facilities to the study of medicine and as the Jefferson Medical faculty have already given us an earnest that they will prostitute medical honours by conferring them on men unacquainted with medical science the interest of medical men throughout the State is consequently deeply involved. The degree of Dr. of medicine has been conferred on Jonathan Pound a book-binder by the Jefferson College after having attended one course only. Five of the six professors were in favour of conferring a degree on my neighbour Henry Zook who is almost an idiot. A letter was received last night from Dr. Hiester of Reading in which he states that "two quacks in Lebanon county have actually received from the professors of the Jefferson College a promise of the Degree of Doctor of Medicine for exertions which they have made and are still making to send forward petitions in favour of the new medical school.<br /> "From such dishonourable proceedings I am confident that your well judging mind will revolt. As the more you view this bill in all its bearings the more you will be convinced that it will interfere with our interest." Harris urges Fairlamb to use his influence by urging Representative Hunt to oppose the bill.<br /> Hon. William Harris 1799-1865 a civil engineer was the son of James Harris a Pennsylvania State Senator and cofounder of the town of Bellefonte. He was son-in-law of Dr. George Ashbridge Fairlamb 1784-1829. Dr. Fairlamb received his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1808 and practiced medicine in Downingtown for many years. He also established The Independent Journal of Downingtown a Jackson paper with George Plitt in 1827. unknown
1918List2982Peru and Panama 1918. Approximately 364 photos; album and unmounted photos silver prints cyanotypes and printing-out-paper prints. Photos measure 3 x 4 to 8 x 10 inches with about half measuring 3 x 5 ½ inches. Some with photographer’s hand-stamp or credit in pencil; others with manuscript notations verso or recto; some captions to album pages. Offered in partnership with Daniel / Oliver.<br /> <br /> Rich and extensive photographic archive of Walton T. Burres of Stockton California showing his time in Peru c. 1904 as an amateur explorer and doctor for the Inca Mining and Rubber Company and his later work in Panama c. 1918 with the Rockefeller Foundation’s International Health Division.The collection consists of a large number of loose photos acquired by the gallery in 2021 and a recently discovered photo album showing some of the same subjects and containing a few duplicate images some printed in different sizes or formats as well as hundreds of previously unseen prints. Together this material makes up the largest extant archive of Burres’s photographic work. Though his work was published at the time both in Peruvian and American publications much of it was lost when he dropped it in a river that he was attempting to ford.<br /> <br /> Burres was educated at California’s Cooper Medical College the first school of medicine on the West Coast and was a prominent member of the Stockton community before sojourning to Peru around 1900 to help the Inca Mining and Rubber Company address the deadly diseases endemic to the region such as malaria and yellow fever. To encourage economic infrastructure in remote areas the Peruvian government began granting land concessions to any company that would build roads bridges or river ports. As a result the Inca Mining Company an American outfit based in Tirapata purchased the rights to mine gold along the upper Inambari River in 1896 and soon became the richest gold producer in Peru.<br /> <br /> A large portion of Burres’s Peruvian images document his 1903–1904 excursion from Arequipa 150 miles into “rubber country.†The journeys were well-recounted in U.S. papers and a number of the anecdotes described in print are seen in the present images.<br /> <br /> There are many dynamic views of Burres and his party trekking through the dense jungle and summiting the high mountains as well as shots of flora fauna and native Peruvians. Burres’s travel companions for this trip included the famed adventurer Harriet Chalmers Adams later dubbed “America’s greatest woman explorer†by the New York Times. Adams and her husband Frank both fellow Stocktonians joined up with Burres during their own multi-year expedition through South America. There are a number of portraits of a woman who bears a striking resemblance to Adams though it is possibly another person.<br /> <br /> Other Peruvian material includes numerous views of Cusco Arequipa and the surrounding environs including a beautiful interior of a chapel a Martin Chambi-esque detail shot of a stone wall and portraits of local townspeople some identified as Quechua people. There are a number of lush large-format cyanotypes rich printing-out-paper views and many handsome small-format panoramas. These were printed on Inca Mining Company surplus stationary which speaks to the makeshift nature of photo-development under the circumstances. One particularly striking image shows the top of Misti volcano barely visible above the clouds. This image was reproduced in Burres's account of his travels published in 1909 in Outing magazine.<br /> <br /> The photographs from Burres’s time in Panama document his more serious work as a virologist and health administrator in the area. One interesting photo shows a pair of recently-shot iguanas with a caption noting that “blood of these reptiles was found infected with Haemogregarina.†Another image is that of a new style of privy built from concrete and wire-mesh designed to better keep out rain water. There are also keenly-shot views of main streets and local culture in Los Santos Chiriquà and elsewhere including a number of humanistic group portraits taken at a girl’s school. unknown

Front and rear endpapers removed; scattered pencil marginalia and pencil ownership signature "Attalena Mower" to front endpaper; general mild to moderate foxing to contents still a tight complete copy Very Good.<br /> <br /> A popular 19th-century book of botanical home remedies based on Thomson's system and written from the author's premise that ".the preparation and use of medicine to cure disease requires no more science than the preparation of bread" p.xii.

On the verso of the title-page however apears the 'Preface to the fourth edition' dated May 1948." Our copy bears no such notice on the verso of the title page and indeed appears like the fourth to be a stereotype reprint of the 1845 Second edition with only the date on the title page altered.
