184649312New-York: William Radde 1846. First American Edition. Octavo 23cm.; removed retaining original stitching; 66pp. Some light dust-soil and wear from handling contemporary gift inscription at head of title page serving as upper cover else Very Good and sound. Letter first published in the "British Journal of Homœpathy" April 1846. The author a Scottish physician was one of the earliest British practitioners of homeopathy losing both his position at the Royal Infirmary and most of his practice while also drawing criticism from not just Forbes but many others. Interestingly even Forbes' original article was itself deemed too sympathetic to homeopathy and his Review closed shortly after its publication while the present article raised Henderson in the eyes of the public if not the medical profession DNB.

Edge wear and minor rubbing to spine and boards manuscript loose in binding oxidizing to edges of pastedowns. Marginal flaws to frontispiece illumination just touching border in places a few small wormholes elsewhere minor handsoiling.<br /></p><p>Finely illuminated early 18th-century Venetian manuscript issued by the city's Magistrato alla Sanità Health Department as a license to certify the physician Antonio Damugliano d. 1747 to practice medicine in the Venetian Republic using his propriety formula for topical salves <i>balsami</i> to treat "wounds and ulcers" f. 3v-3r. The manuscript ornately written out and decorated in gold and colored ink opens with a full-page image of the winged Lion of San Marco in the Venetian landscape which serves as an official seal of the document's authenticity and is inscribed by five <i>Provveditori</i> of the Magistrato and one notary who witnessed the certification.</p><p>This pharmaceutical license represents a rare material survival of how Venice's Magistrato alla Sanità regulated the practice of medicine in its territories even down to the level of controlling how individual practitioners could work with specific drugs. Damugliano presumably was required to keep the document on his person while plying his trade and to present it to the relevant authorities or even to his patients should his practice be called into question. The text of the document is written out twice – first in Italian and then in Latin – to suit the linguistic preferences of both the common Venetian citizen and the professional medical class.</p><p>Damugliano also known as Antimo Damulianos is noted in the document dated April 1717 as being a native of the Ionian island of Zante or Zakynthos at the time a Venetian colony and having recently returned from Moscow "where with good success and for a long time he practiced medicine with full official permission of many noteworthy people" f. 2v. Damugliano is said to have studied medicine in Europe likely in Italy specializing in contagious diseases and eventually practicing in Asia Minor Persia India China Egypt Constantinople and Trieste and to have been ordered by Emperor Charles VI 1685-1740 to treat the sick of a plague outbreak in Corinth see L. Zoes passim. Damugliano's name is also associated with a 1725 treatise entitled 'Medicina' which circulated in manuscript form in Venice and dealt with the use of salves pills and stones to treat hydrophobia see L. Zoes; we have been unable to locate a copy of this treatise. Damugliano is also recorded as having worked in Vienna where an April 1746 news magazine comments that the "very famous" Damugliano having traveled through numerous kingdoms has arrived to demonstrate the curative powers of "the wondrous Chinese stone called Bezoar" which is effective against fevers snake bites fatigue colic etc. <i>Nachtrag</i> p. 64. The bezoar stone an indigestible mass formed in the digestive tract of ruminants was lauded from the middle ages as a universal antidote to poison.</p><p> R.

2952<p><strong>A meticulously-detailed account of clinical practice and research at a pioneering paediatric hospital in St. Petersburg. Illustrated with numerous tables graphs and reproductions of hand-drawn charts.</strong></p><p>The Elizavetinsky also called Princess Elisabeth Clinical Hospital for Young Children was founded in 1844 as a private charitable organisation at the behest of Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna two of whose daughters had died as infants and named in honour of Grand Duchess Elizaveta Mikhailovna a granddaughter of Tsar Paul I. After the Bolshevik Revolution it was renamed the Louis Pasteur Clinical Hospital. The first paediatric hospital in Russia also in St. Petersburg had been founded a decade earlier; but the Elizavetinsky was the first in the world to focus on the treatment of children under the age of three 'Formirovanie'.</p><p>The report describes the development of the hospital including details on buildings and facilities and various departments such as ambulatory care surgery and infectious diseases. It offers copious patient statistics and a section devoted to the problem of the high mortality rate among children suffering from tuberculosis. The authors also include discussions of various digestive respiratory and infectious ailments as well as a list of research publications by doctors on staff and an expense report for 1893. The preface is by Thomas Woldemar von Reitz who had been heading the Hospital for 25 years since 1869.</p><p><strong>Rare</strong>: we couldn't find any other copy going through the market in recent times.

1869885781869. MEDICINE SUGITA Gempaku. RANGAKU KOTO HAJIME. Tokyo Tenshinro Meiji 2 1869. 22.5 x 15.1 cm. 2 vols. srting-bound Japanese-style fukuro-toji. Original covers and printed paper title labels. This memoir by the scientist behind the ground-breaking KAITAI SHINSHO was originally completed in Gempaku's old age in 1815. It was transmitted via manuscript until the fall of the ancien regime when Fukuzawa Yukichi and Gempaku's grandson arranged to have it published in a woodblock edition. The book was written in a very clear and simple style and reveals the great lengths of ingenuity the KAITAI SHINSHO author/translators went to to uncover the secrets and understand the esoteric Dutch vocabulary of Kulmas' anatomy that they translated therein. The RANGAKU KOTOHAJIME is often cited as perhaps the earliest Japanese text to explain techniques of cryptoanalysis from a practical and logically rigorous point of view. It is also a compelling story of scientific investigation in isolated traditional Japan. Finally despite its relatively late publication date the RANGAKU KOTOHAJIME is vanishingly rare. Our copy is in very good condition enclosed in a custom-fitted clasped chitsu case. unknown

A little known but apparently quite early and important study by this ophthalmic surgeon best known for his recognition of Laurence-Moon syndrome and his research on retinitis pigmentosa. The essay won the Liston prize for 1854. In the Journal of Ophthalmology for 1932 there is a long essay on Laurence who died at the age of 42 entitled "A Belated Tribute" by Arnold Sorsby pp. 727-740 with a bibliography of his writings. Laurence was a brilliant student and later ophthalmologist who founded the South London Ophthalmic Hospital now the Royal Eye Hospital. Among many other unrecognised achievements he was the first to describe macular degeneration. The tribute concludes: "the work that he started and did not see completed is today a living force. He has become an integral part of modern ophthalmology as founder of an important hospital as a pioneer in ophthalmic journalism and as one of the forerunners of that growing school of thought which correlates ocular defect with bodily structure."
