Harrison 1796-1849 a native of Louisville Kentucky studied medicine there and at the University of Pennsylvania returning home to begin his practice at the newly founded Louisville Hospital in 1820. He was appointed to his position at the Medical College of Ohio in 1841 edited the medical periodical "Western Lancet" and served as vice-president of the American Medical Association. For a longer biographical sketch see Kelly and Burrage "American Medical biographies" 1920 pp. 497-498. Dr. Warren's address reads in part: "This gentleman was one of the ablest practitioners in the United States. In the West he was considered as without a superior . while warm & decided in discussion he was not dogmatical and gave an agreeable influence to all he said by the openness and amenity of the manner in which he said it . the respect for him of the profession and community is derived from the noble manner in which he contended against the fatal epidemic of cholera . he continued to expose himself to the disease till he was destroyed by it." Also laid in is a 1961 letter of presentation from one Harrison descendant to another. Various publishers hardcover books

Oranda jin Geka ryoji no zu Dutch Surgery in Nagasaki

44211Japan and Western Medicine. Oranda jin Geka ryoji no zu Dutch Surgery in Nagasaki. Original pen ink and watercolor drawing on light brown-toned silk with 4 vertical lines of Japanese characters in the upper left corner. Japan: late 18th or early 19th century. 483 x 363 mm. mounted as a scroll at a modern date on light grey silk backed with paper with a half-round hanging rail with braided ribbon attached at the top and a suspension bar at the foot measuring 914 x 443 mm. overall; preserved in a custom-made wooden box. A few tiny pinholes in upper corners of image but fine with the coloring fresh and bright. This striking image showing an amputation carried out by a Dutch surgeon in Japan was most likely painted in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century during Japan's self-imposed period of national isolation. The hand-painted image is related but by no means identical to a Nagasaki woodblock print titled "Surgery by a Dutch Physician" one of many popular souvenir prints depicting scenes unique to Nagasaki which at the time was the sole point of contact between Japan and the outside world. See our reproduction of the print. It may be that our scroll is the original of the image; however it is also possible that both hand-painted and woodcut versions of the image were produced simultaneously. Western surgery came to Japan in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries via the Portuguese who in 1543 became the first Europeans to make direct contact with Japan and the Dutch who became the only European nation allowed to trade with Japan after Japan's expulsion of the Portuguese in 1639. Surgeons attached to the Dutch East India Company established practices at the island of Dejima in Nagasaki Bay which led to the formation of several Japanese schools of surgery based on European methods. "This aspect of Western medicine known as K m -ry geka or â€˜Surgery of the Red-Haired' has had a profound effect on the development of surgical practice in Japan" Van Gulik p. 37. Van Gulik "Dutch surgery in Japan" in Red-Hair Medicine: Dutch-Japanese Medical Relations ed. Beukers et al. pp. 37-50. . unknown books

This was the third magazine produced by patients in an American asylum the first in the south. The other two were the Asylum Journal Vermont Asylum for the Insane 1842-46 and the Opal New York Asylum 1850-1860. The content much of it dealing with the inner workings of the asylum and its needs includes articles from Darwinism to Spiritualism and engages arguments with the definitions of insanity and the treatments then in practice. Some of the articles are tinged with humor toward the hospital's employees from poetry on the perils of working as a nurse in a hospital for the insane to running an ad for a wife for an official of the hospital.

The Alabama Insane Hospital was conceived under the influence of Dorothea Dix instrumental in the selection of Dr. Peter Bryce as its first superintendent in 1860 and Thomas Story Kirkbride its architect. Bryce 1834-1892 who had studied progressive ideas of treating the insane in Europe would head the institution until his death. The perennially underfunded hospital would prove self sufficient employing the patients to provide food heat and this newspaper both the editorial work and the printing process among other services reflecting the progressive belief of the time that activity settled the mind. Bryce and the hospital became known for innovative treatment of the mentally ill using a "therapeutic approach to treatment so called for its supposed ability to lead patients to an understanding and acceptance of 'right behavior'." The hospital accepted African-American patients including one who had been owned by Dr. Bryce but despite its progressive reputation in treatment the hospital showed the prejudices of the time by separating the patients by race.

VERY RARE FIRST EDITION 1565 INFLUENTIAL EARLY WORK ON AMERICAN BOTANY Dos libros. El uno trata de todas las cosas que traen de nuestras Indias Occidentales que sirven al uso de medicinaâ€¦.

15655777"FOR MANY YEARS THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK ON THE MEDICINAL PLANTS OF THE NEW WORLD"8vo 13.4 x 9.1 cm 132 ff. with woodcut border to title page and woodcut initials. Bound in later stiff vellum title stamped on spine gift inscription on the front flyleaf to a certain 'Carmen Ballina' dated 1922 now covered in paper. Only minor wear and rubbing to binding. 'Tassa' price of 51 maravedis entered in manuscript on title page as issued early signature of a certain 'Henrique Correa' at fol. aiiir the occasional contemporary annotation in the text minor occasional dampstaining very minor occasional marginal worming. Very rare first edition 1565 â€“ virtually unacquirable for the past half century or more â€“ of the first printed work devoted to the botanical and medicinal discoveries made in the Americas a treatise which through its later expansions and numerous translations would remain "for many years the most important work on the medicinal plants of the New World" Garrison & Morton. The Dos libros was written by the renowned physician NicolÃ¡s Monardes 1493-1588 in Seville then the center of the Spanish printing industry and the only port from which ships were authorized to sail to and from the New World. Born in 1493 in the very year Columbus returned from his first voyage Monardes thus both occupied a front row seat for first decades of the 'Columbian Exchange' and was ideally positioned to disseminate his findings to a wider European indeed global audience.Monardes shared much with his contemporary Garcia d'Orta 1501-68 the Portuguese physician stationed in India and famed for his Coloquios dos simples e drogas e consas medicinais da India Goa 1563: "Just as d'Orta gave the learned world of the West the first accurate accounts of various Asian medicinal and commercial plants so did Monardes with those of America â€¦ Monardes like Garcia d'Orta has a strong claim to be regarded as one of the fathers of the science of pharmacognosy. Both of them compiled what were virtually complete monographs on many important items of our actual materia medica which were then unknown or only inaccurately known to the Western World Boxer pp. 23-24. Even the diffusion of these two authors throughout the learned world of early modern Europe shared a common source in the Latin versions made of them by the Flemish physician and botanist Charles de L'Ecluse Carolus Clusius 1526-1609 who published them together for the first time at Antwerp by Plantin in 1574 and afterwards.Monardes eagerly capitalized on his unique position in Seville to acquire botanical news specimens and seeds from the New World cultivating his own garden of American plants and distributing cuttings to correspondents throughout Spain and Europe. In 1553 he established a transatlantic business partnership with a colleague in Tierra Firme and over the next three decades Monardes' three sons and four daughters emigrated to Tierra Firme and New Spain thus providing him with a network which would prove invaluable in collecting information for the 1565 Dos libros and in expanding the treatise in its 1571 and 1574 editions published as Segunda Parte and Primera y Segunda y Tercera Partes de la Historia Medicinal. In the Dos libros Monardes describes more than two dozen botanical remedies sarsaparilla copal and other aromatic balsams guaiacum lignum vitae etc. their medicinal applications native nomenclature and where they were to be found Mexico City Jalisco MichoacÃ¡n Cuba Santo Domingo San Juan Cartagena Honduras Peru Nicaragua. Fascinatingly he views this specialized information through the broader lens of early American exploration discussing the voyages of Columbus and HernÃ¡n CortÃ©s Monardes' near contemporary the spread of New World diseases among the first conquistadors and assessing the value of America's medicinal riches against her wealth of gold and silver.In his first printed work Dialogo llamado pharmacodilosis o declaracion medicinal Seville 1536 Monardes noted that he was skeptical of the therapeutic value of plants from the New World but "his change of heart between 1536 and 1565 about the value of American materia medica was a gradual process and was due to his own experience" Boxer p. 22. Monardes "took great care after about 1536 to examine those plants imported and/or transplanted into Spain â€“ a self-imposed task facilitated by the unrivaled position of Seville as the sole entrepÃ´t for Spanish trade with the New World â€¦ just as d'Orta cultivated Asian plants in his gardens and orchards at Goa and Bombay so Monardes had a botanical garden with native and exotic plants at Sevilla" Boxer 22.In addition to Clusius' Latin translation of Monardes De simplicibus medicamentis ex Occidentli India delatis 1574 first Latin edition an English translation appeared in 1577 by John Frampton under the title Joyful newes out of the newe found world. Italian French and German translations followed with the work going through 19 editions during Monardes' lifetime and 14 after his death.In the present 1565 first edition of the Dos libros Monardes challenged European travelers and residents in the Americas to "'investigate and experiment with the many kinds of medicines that the Indians sell in their markets or Tianguez; it would be a thing of great utility and profit to see and know their properties and to experiment with their varied and great effects which the Indians make public and manifest through the great experiences they make of them among themselves'" Monardes quoted from Bleichmar Visual Voyages p. 51. But tapping into native knowledge of medicinal matters apparently proved more difficult than Monardes had anticipated: In the 1571 Segunda Parte he notes that the increasing Amerindian hostility to the European presence in the Americas was provoking them to keep their medicinal/botanical practices secret to the point of providing misleading information to colonists seeking local remedies and consequently his 1565 Dos Libros had in fact become the primary source for Indian medicinal knowledge even among Europeans stationed and living in the Americas among the native populace see Bleichmar Visual Voyages p. 51.Monardes' other published works include the 1539 De secanda vena in pleuriti inter Grecos et Arabes concordia and his 1540 De rosa et partibus eius. His treatise on the medicinal properties of the bezoar stone is appended to the present Dos libros.OCLC locates U.S. examples of this 1565 Dos Libros of Monardes at the National Library of Medicine John Carter Brown Wisconsin Hunt Botanical SMU and NYPL.
