Omi Province today's Shiga Province: the most modern date we find in the scroll is 1809. A remarkably long scroll 90 feet; this is the most comprehensive old Japanese encyclopedia of horse diseases and their treatments we have encountered. The text includes recipes for medicines and acupuncture techniques as well as numerous case histories. There are references in this scroll to texts being copied in 1611. Each of the 94 sheets is numbered. It is obvious this was once a codex in at least two volumes that has been converted into an enormously long scroll. The accompanying title label was clearly the upper wrapper of the codex. At the beginning of this scroll are 30 brush & ink drawings of diseased horses representations of case histories adapted from the Inner Classic of the Yellow Emperor written about 2700 B.C. The case histories discuss rare diseases digestive problems drinking too much cold water kidney diseases heart problems lung problems wounds to the head diseases of the spleen parasitical worms breathing problems including asthma constipation cramping intestinal blocking food poisoning lack of appetite nervous horses brain diseases "black sweat" chills etc. Each case history concludes with pharmaceutical recipes.

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. <br/><br/> Various publishers hardcover books

Extremities rubbed spine cloth chipped shadow of bookplate removed from front free endpaper; very good. Caldwell 1772-1853 was a student and at times a critic of Benjamin Rush and founder of the Louisville Medical Institute. He was one of several American physicians of the early nineteenth century who popularized the term "physical education" by which they meant the instruction of children in all matters relating to the body and its overall health. In this work which achieved national recognition Caldwell argues that physical education is an essential companion to moral and intellectual education for without it "man cannot attain the perfection of his nature." It should include "every thing that by bearing in any way on the human body might injure or benefit in its health vigor or fitness for action" including "diet cleanliness clothing atmospherical temperature respiration muscular exercise sleep and animal passions.

187147582Rome: Forzani et C. 1871. First Edition. Folio 33cm.; publisher's tan printed card wrappers; 18pp. Wrapper lightly soiled faint vertical creasing a few tiny chips to spine ele Very Good internally fresh and fine save the crease. Polemical attack on the state of the French university system written in March 1871 two months after the end of the disastrous for the French Franco-Prussian War. As Pasteur argues whereas in Germany universities proliferated across the country France "stymied by revolution was always occupied with the sterile search for a better form of government giving only distracted attention to her institutions of higher learning" p. 9 our translation. At the root of all this was the regime of Napoleon I who in the early years of the 19th century neglected the country's twenty-eight extant institutions of higher learning in favor of his Université de France a disastrously centralized state-run institution that he established in 1808. The University suffered greatly during the Restoration and with it the quality of education so that by 1868 only £8000 were being spent for "true academic purposes" across the country cf. W. Chandler Roberts et al "Journal of the Society for Arts Vol. 32 no. 1655 August 8 1884 p. 905 creating a lacuna of learned and innovative thinkers to match Germany's. Perhaps in order to combat this downward trend Pasteur later founded the Pasteur Institute in 1887 serving as its director until his death in 1895. <br/><br/>This appears to be the only separate appearance of Pasteur's tract published abroad and distributed to various foreign leading scientific figures among these "Darwin's Bulldog" Thomas Henry Huxley who makes mention of this work in an address delivered in October of that same year. The essay appeared again in print in 1947 following an even more disastrous encounter with Germany in a collection titled "Pour l'Avenir de la Science Française." This publication quite scarce with four physical copies noted in OCLC as of February 2020. COPAC adds one copy at the LEC Library UK. Forzani et C. unknown books
19061073Chicago 1906. Very good. 27pp. Original tan printed wrappers stapled. Slight separation at spine ends corners and edges bumped and lightly chipped. Light wear and soiling internally. An interesting combination of death announcement biography and medical advertisement. The work opens by stating that Dr. Sarah DeLoss died November 14 1906 and her medical practice has passed to her capable son-in-law Dr. W.F. Hormann who also speaks German very useful for the Chicago populace of the time. The pamphlet lauds the amazing abilities of Dr. DeLoss over thirty years of intuitive naturopathic practice including a lengthy testimonial from another woman doctor. "We are about to tell of a woman who has reached the top of the ladder not by hard study but through natural gifts. . She is a perfect diagnostician which is head among her many natural gifts. She is a natural botanist; she knows every growing plant and its medicinal use. . She not only tells the disease but the cure is forthcoming." There follow remedies for common ailments -- all of which you can order by mail from Dr. Hormann -- and a catalogue of symptoms and their potential treatments. A closing ad by Dr. Hormann notes: "I offer the public roots and herbs in their natural state; I use no mineral poisons."
