Bound in the original gilt-stamped light brown cloth. From a review in South China Morning Post by Susan Jung: "How can you not love a book that has a section called How to Choose a Cook In Five Treasures of Chinese Cuisine 1977 authors Flora Chang from Fuzhou Fujian province and her friend Gaynell Fuchs from Windsor Connecticut are being a little tongue-in-cheek when they write While it is doubtful if many of our readers will be in a position to hire a Chinese cook some suggestions on how to judge a cook may come in handy when appraising ones own efforts. In China the cook would be given a food allowance and part of the job would be to select the food as well as to prepare and cook it. The employer would take all these tasks into account when making the decision. The authors suggest testing the skills of the cook whether hired or yourself with three dishes: egg flower soup steamed pork hash and stir-fried beef. The five treasures Chang and Fuchs refer to in the title are the cuisines of Canton now Guangzhou Fukien now Fujian Peking now Beijing Shanghai and Sichuan and they also write about general recipes noodles rice pickles condiments that are similar across China. In the Cantonese chapter we get recipes for oxtail stew with raw peanuts crab with black bean sauce sweet and sour pork and winter melon soup. Fukienese recipes include fish and tofu soup deep-fried shrimp balls eight treasure crab rice and stuffed clams. From Peking there are recipes for birds nest soup a modified Peking duck top left; the traditional recipe requires equipment not found in most home kitchens braised pigs intestines and mandarin pancakes.

The Acquired Venereal Infections in Children: A Report of 187 Children Treated in the Women's Venereal Department of the Johns Hopkins Hospital Dispensary. "A Study." Johns Hopkins Hospital Bulletin Vol. XX No 218 May 1909

19091761Baltimore: Johns Hopkins 1909. First edition.1909 SCARCE REPORT OF VENEREAL DISEASE IN GIRLS ACQUIRED FROM INFECTED MEN SEEKING A CURE BY TRANSFERING THE PATHOGEN.15 x 23 cm offprint stapled in printed brown paper wraps paginated 1-20 pp tables and graphs. Covers soiled edges worn residue of rusted paper clip top of covers staples rusted text pages browned but unmarked. A good but age-worn copy of a rare offprint in protective mylar sleeve. It represents an important study in pediatric infectious disease child abuse public health and society in turn-of-the-century urban America by a pioneering female physician."FLORA POLLACK 1865 – 1938 attended the Woman's Medical College of Baltimore graduating in 1891 then interned at the Blockley Hospital in Philadelphia. From 1896-1897 she was a Lecturer on Embryology at the Woman's Medical College and she became Associate Professor of Embryology and Physical Diagnosis there in 1897. She studied in Berlin in 1897 and then returned to Baltimore. She became an assistant in the Department of Gynecology at Johns Hopkins Hospital specializing in women's venereal diseases in 1900 and worked there until 1913 with a leave of absence in 1912. In 1909 during her time at Johns Hopkins she published a report titled "The Acquired Venereal Infections in Children: A Report of 187 Children Treated in the Women's Venereal Department of the Johns Hopkins Hospital Dispensary" offered here. In the report she detailed a trend that she had been seeing in her patients at the hospital - that of "the unusually large number of young children brought there for the treatment of acquired venereal infections." After investigating this situation she formed what she called an "infectionist theory." Apparently at the time there was a superstition widely circulated that a person infected with either gonorrhea or syphilis could rid themselves of the disease by infecting another person with it. The preference was to infect a virgin which meant that children were often the targets. Pollack hoped to counter this superstition with accurate medical information which led to her giving numerous talks on hygiene at various women's and children's institutions over the years. Pollack was one of the first doctors to attribute the extreme spread of gonorrhea and syphilis in children to assault by infected adults rather than through transmission via shared linens or restroom facilities. Along with Dr. P. S. Bourdeau-Sisco she founded the Woman's Medical Society of Maryland in 1914. Her main connection to the suffrage movement came in 1910 when she traveled to Annapolis to speak at a hearing before the Committee on Constitutional Amendments. Dr. Pollack argued for the right of women to vote based on the ability it would give them to protect their children through political action. Unfortunately this hearing did not lead to any concrete action by the Maryland Senate."-- Anna Assogba Research Librarian Harvard University Cambridge Massachusetts. Johns Hopkins paperback

Sandes, FloraBiblio.com

An English Woman-Sergeant in the Serbian Army. With an introduction by Slavko Y. Grouitch Secretaire-General of the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs

1916355490720153London: Hodder & Stoughton 1916. Hard Cover. Half title frontispiece illustrated with photographs. Publisher's original pale orange-brown cloth lettered in black. Foxing to the page block edges which has crept into the text in places and quite heavy foxing to the early/late pages of the book; fraying at the head and tail of the spine; soling in places to the spine boards a little dust-soiled. Interestingly this book was not issued with either a front or rear end-paper. Overall a VG copy. No D/W. Flora Sandes born 1876 was a volunteer with the St. John Ambulance who travelled to Serbia with a small unit during the early phases of the Great War where she was seconded to the Serbian Red Cross. Compelled to divert her efforts to soldiering she eventually enrolled as a private in the Royal Serbian Army rising incredibly to the rank of Sergeant major. She occupied a unique position within the ranks as not only a female but a British officer and she was the only female to serve as an active soldier in WW1. Flora was an idol within the Serbian army and was admired as an embodiment of the English pledge to help its friend Serbia. Because of her cheerful and courageous personality she was referred to as Serbia's 'Joan of Arc'. She was wounded in hand-to-hand combat in 1916 and subsequently received Serbias highest military honour the Order of Karadordes Star. She remained in Serbia after hostilities ceased only returning to Britain during WW2. She died in Suffolk in 1956. She is still highly regarded in her adopted country where she has been commemorated on stamps and had a street named for her in Belgrade. This uncommon work is regarded as a great rarity and was published to raise funds for the Serbian war effort. A bibliographical note: the first edition of this title should be dated on the title page: MCMXVI as this copy is. Photographs/scans available upon request. Hodder & Stoughton hardcover
