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.

William Camden 1551-1623 was an English antiquary and historian who during the reign of Queen Elizabeth travelled throughout England collecting material for 'Britannia' which was first published in 1586. Initially written in Latin it is a survey of the British islands; its archaeology geography institutions monetary system and inhabitants 'chiefly intended for the instruction of foreigners' or so Gibson states in his Preface to this edition. It was first translated into English in 1610 probably under Camden's direction see Ency. Brit. 11th vol. V p. 101. Gibson's revision was first published in 1695.

1930ST20235London: Harrods Ltd 1930s. FIRST EDITION. 76 x 51 mm. 3 x 2". 100 pp. <br/> Original green or orange paper wrappers side stitched titling on front cover and imprint on spine. In a custom-made folding buckram box with book wells for the three books and gilt-stamped marbled paper label inset on spine of the box. Consisting of three bound sets of 50 sequential photographs that when flipped either from back to front or front to back generate a stop motion animation of Bobby Jones demonstrating the proper form for executing a shot with various golf clubs see below. Advertisements on inside wrappers. Donovan & Murdoch 22610. One volume with portions of spine gone at either end with partial loss of imprint wrappers inevitably somewhat soiled corners a bit rounded as expected but still remarkably well preserved especially considering its inevitable hard use being entirely sound and with the photographs in excellent condition.<br/> <br/> This is a scarce grouping of some of the most charming sports as well as miniature books we've ever offered for sale. In the 1930s the famous London department store Harrods published a series of so-called sports "flicker" books of which these three are perhaps the most famous other sports books involved cricket tennis lacrosse soccer badminton swimming and greyhound racing. Our three "flicker" books when the pages are riffled with one's thumb or fingers show the famous smooth-swinging American golfer Bobby Jones executing shots with various clubs. The first book #11a in the Harrods series features the driver and the mashie. The modern equivalent for this latter piece of equipment is slightly elusive but the "mashie" is an iron club with considerable loft meant to hit a golf ball a relatively short distance with a high trajectory Jones' "driver" has the same meaning today as it did 90 years ago. The second book features shots with a "brassie" roughly equivalent to today's 3- or 4-wood and an "iron" also called a "driving iron" which is like today's 1- or 2-iron. The third book shows Jones putting and escaping from heavy rough with a high-lofted club like today's sand wedge. It is great fun--not to mention still instructive--to riffle through these photographs watching one of the world's most celebrated golf swings come to life complete with Jones' knickers white shirt and flapping tie. It is also a fact of some interest that this English series would feature an American player at a time when British dominance in golf was beginning to erode. Given the physical use to which these items have been subjected it is difficult to believe that they are still intact let alone that they are solid enough to be handled without worry.

Written under the tension of the vibrant poignancy that is an inseparable part of the miseries Poland has endured. Written by a Polish Underground Labor 'historian' experienced in the underground struggle who drew his material from actual contact with persons who underwent and saw others suffer the things that he describes. A compilation of the viciousness of Nazism as seen at Oswiecim so that all who read might understand and make a just evaluation of that which Poland faces of the problem of ridding all Europe of a scourge that gives rise to such things as Oswiecim." - Foreword. 48 page stapled booklet. Includes a one-page facsimile of the cover of the 1942 Polish first edition published underground. Full-page map shows locations of major concentration camps in Poland.

1938566j1985London: Frederick Muller Ltd. Good with no dust jacket. 1938. First English Edition. Hardcover. "There is no question of the depth or of the luminous quality of the reasoning with which the author combats the deification of the State and demolishes the Hegelian conception of the State as 'an end in itself'. I welcome this book as a contribution of outstanding value to the clarification of thought at a moment of supreme crisis in the political history of the world. Its author believes that against the 'totalitarian State' the ideal and the faith of "totalitarian man' will arise and prevail and that 'the blackest cloud which has overshadowed the history of humanity is beginning to pass away." - Introduction. "The object of this book is to introduce clarity into the confusion of demagogy and lying which to-day so obscures the grave problems of our time that even politicians can only with difficulty recognise the forces and ideas which underlie the events and changes of our day. Further it attempts to indicate to all men of good will a way into a better and clearer future out of the labyrinth of unsolved problems which vex our age." - Preface. "Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi 1894-1972 was a politician and philosopher. A pioneer of European integration he served as the founding president of the Paneuropean Union for 49 years. His Pan-Europeanism earned vivid loathing from Adolf Hitler who excoriated its pacifism and mechanical economism and belittled its founder as 'a bastard.' Nazi criticism and propaganda against Coudenhove-Kalergi and his European worldview would decades later form the basis of the Kalergi Plan conspiracy theory which claims he conceived of a plot to mix and replace white Europeans with other races via immigration." - Wikipedia. 4-196 pp. Translated from the German.

1927169H4514Garden City New York: Doubleday Page & Company. Good. 1927. First Edition. Hardcover. "There is no man living who from the beginning or in the progress or at the ending of federal reserve legislation was more closely or constantly than I privy to and identified with the consideration and enactment of the law under which the federal reserve banking system was set up. Ever since the enactment of the federal reserve law it has been my intention to write some day a story of the many inside events word of which never reached beyond a closely restricted circle and had no such thing as current newspaper attention. Very likely my desire to tell the dramatic story would have abated if not for the recent publication of the 'Intimate Papers' in which the paternity of the Federal Reserve Act and its particular management are placidly ascribed to Colonel E.M. House." - Introduction. Accordingly Chapter III of this book is devoted to a scathing critique of the veracity of 'The Intimate Papers of Colonel House' first published in 1926. Colonel House was an intimate confidant of Woodrow Wilson President when the Federal Reserve Act was passed. Latter day conspiracy researchers argue House successfully advocated for the interests of the House of Rothschild during the development and passage of the Federal Reserve Act. In response to Glass's book Paul Warburg also instrumental in the founding of the Federal Reserve was "impelled to lay down in black and white my recollections of certain events in the history of banking reform." - Preface to his two-volume work The Federal Reserve System Its Origins and Growth - Reflections and Recollections published in 1930. Commenting on Glass's book James Grant of Interest Rate Observer fame notes "the story of the creation of the Fed by its chief progenitor Carter Glass makes you doubt he would recognize today's Federal Reserve were he brought back to life to inspect it. He explodes in indignation at any who would impugn the proposed Federal Reserve note as mere fiat money. In fact he considered the currency to be as good as gold - or better." Clearly Glass's recollections herein represent a profoundly important chronicle of the origins and founding of the Federal Reserve System.
