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

Extremely rare collection including 83 issues of 99 of this journal of the Istanbul University Faculty of Medicine. This is one of the seven important periodicals published starting in 1916 by the Istanbul Darülfünun which was the first Turkish academic institution in the modern sense. Due to World War 1 this journal was published at irregular intervals and after the Alphabet Reform 1928 it switched to the new script starting from the January-June 1929 issue. Therefore this collection consists entirely of early issues printed in Ottoman Turkish using the Arabic script. The journal published by the professors of the Faculty of Medicine included many prominent figures in its editorial board: Ziya Nuri Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Professor of Laryngeal and Otic Diseases Ismail Dervis General Secretary of the Faculty of Medicine and Professor of Obstetrics and Midwifery Tevfik Recep Professor of Histology and Embryology and Sevki Professor of Philosophy. In the same issue Sadettin Vedat Assistant Professor of Surgery is also recorded as the Secretary. Over time these names underwent some changes. For example in Year XV No. 1-2 1933 under the heading of Editorial Board Nasir Heyeti the names Akif Sakir Akil Muhtar Hamdi Suat Ihsan Hilmi Kenan Tevfik M. Hayrullah Necmettin Rifat Neset Ömer Server Kamil Süreyya Ali Tevfik Recep Ziya Nuri Fazil Serafettin and Tevfik Remzi appear. In this issue Behçet Sabit and Muzaffer Esat Bey are also listed under the title of Editors-in-Chief Tahrir Müdürleri. Again on the inner title page of this issue there is a list of the Editorial Board Tahrir Heyeti composed of 36 members. Some examples of articles in the collection that can be considered scientific contributions to the literature: The first article published in the first issue How Digitalis Takes Effect by Akil Muhtar 1877-1949 immediately draws attention. In this important study known as the "Usskof Experiment" and recorded in Turkish medical literature Akil Muhtar Özden proved for the first time in the world that digitalis when taken orally begins to take effect after one and a half hours and reaches its maximum effect after three and a half hours. A summary translation by Mustafa Hakki of Celal Muhtar Özden's 1865-1947 famous article titled On the Trichophytosis of the Hands and Soles Rahatü'l-yed ve ahmasü'l-kadem trikofisisi originally published in Annales de Dermatologie et de Syphiligraphie No. 8 August 1892 was printed in AH 1340 Issue 78. In this renowned article Celal Muhtar identified the Trichophyton fungus as the cause of a skin lesion observed on the hands and feet and presented the cases of trichophytosis he had followed.

Carman D.D. This original Progressive Era dental/medical manuscript documenting the three years of courses lectures and quizzes at the New Orleans College of Dentistry together with Dr. Carman’s visual aid Fletcherism National Mouth Hygiene Association glass plate slide lecture course provide an historically essential group documenting the advances in dentistry dental surgery and oral hygiene in the first 15 years of the 20th- Century. The New Orleans College of Dentistry was founded in 1899 by Drs. Andrew Friedrichs 1857-1921 pioneering oral surgeon and dental specialist; Dr. Louis D. Archinard 1869-1911 an excellent New Orleans dentist focused on offering medical care to the indigent and poor in New Orleans and his brother Dr. John J. Archinard 1870-1909 physician and oral surgeon who was a Spanish-American War veteran. By 1903 the New Orelans College of Dentistry had purchased and outfitted their first building at 831 Carondelet Street where they would operate until a 1908 fire gutted the building forcing the New Orleans College to affiliate and move to Tulane University. Carman 1886-1948 had studied in Houston TX and entered the New Orleans College of Dentistry in 1905 intending to study and learn the latest advances in the field of dentistry. The opening decade of the 20th-Century oversaw tremendous advances including the adapting of electric motorized drills for dentists X-Ray machines for patients awareness of the dangers of bacteria and bacteriological infections new methods of anesthesia for extraction and the revolutionary use of Vulcanized Rubber as base for artificial dentures. The “Index†or contents by Carman detail his divisions and lecture courses into Prosthetic Dentistry including extensive details on Vulcanization Vulcanizing Rubber preparing and constructing bridges and more; Pathology taught by Archinard with emphasis on hereditary diseases descriptions of inflammation assorted diseases necrosis and suppuration; followed by Anatomy - featuring anatomical manikin and original drawings by Carman; as well as Materia Medica Operative Dentistry Physiology Histology by Dr. J.J. Archinard “The Man that Cleaned up Havana Cuba 1898†chemistry metallurgy bacteriology clinical dentistry operative dentistry continued and more. He also includes the dittoed notes on histology with dittoed sections on tooth enamel nervous system tissues retina and crystlline lens and the preparation of tissues for examination with a microscope. Also included in the courses were embryology dental pathology and more. Carman has incorporated the very first test questions as well as printed examples of medical board questionnaires of States from Ohio to Oregon California and the rest of the West. Upon graduation Carman moved to Salt Lake City where he married Nina Richardson 1890-1965 daughter of the first physician in Salt Lake City and operated a successful practice for nearly 40 years out of the “Judge Building†in SLC up to his death of a heart attack in Los Angeles while on vacation. The Tulane School of Dentistry over seen by Dr. Friedrichs operated at Tulane until June 1928 emphasizing oral hygiene and continuing the original mission of providing care to the poor. Unfortunately it always teetered on the brink of financial ruin and closed in 1928. Horace Fletcher 1849-1919 was known during the Victorian and Progressive Eras as “The Great Masticator†and was a well known and influential food and health quackery specialist and author self-promoter and fanatic on his doctrine of “Fletcherism†which believed that all food had to be deliberately masticated and chewed until it turned to liquid. These glass plate slides emphasize and promote his four main advisories on chewing and swallowing but also the results of examining school children’s teeth in Andover MA indicating that nearly 60% of the children had poor or rotting teeth. Slides show the teeth of young children X-Rays of the skulls abscesses proper brushing and care of teeth with two specifically showing entire classrooms properly brushing their teeth.

19503467Nashville 1950. Very good. Two yearbooks: 244; 208pp. The first bound in blue textured cloth the second in maroon textured cloth each front cover stamped in gilt with a mounted photograph. Some scuffing to edges. Light thumb-soiling to texts previous owner's inscription in each volume. A pair of yearbooks once belonging to Dr. James L. Hutchinson of Shreveport Louisiana while a medical student at Meharry Medical College in Nashville in the mid-20th century. The yearbooks - the Meharrian for 1949 and 1950 - cover Hutchinson's last two years at the school and are chock full of photographs and information on the administration faculty students student organizations and campus life at the pioneering college. The last sections in each yearbook are comprised of advertisements from local vendors mostly medical suppliers. Meharry Medical College opened in 1876 as the first institution in the South designed to train African American doctors. At the time Hutchinson attended the school Meharry also trained dentists nurses dental technicians and medical technologists all of whom are represented in the yearbooks.<br /> <br /> Meharry remains the largest private HBCU dedicated to training healthcare professionals. Dr. James L. Hutchinson established a medical practice in San Mateo California in the 1950s becoming one of the very first African American doctors to work in the Golden State. In addition to his family practice Dr. Hutchinson was one of the founding doctors of both Planned Parenthood and Project 90. Amazingly he is still practicing medicine today in his early 90s. Editions of the Meharrian from any year are rather rare. OCLC records a smattering of yearbooks at about a dozen institutions. unknown
