Title: The Medical World, volumes XXXIII and XXXIV, 1915-1916
Author: Editor C. F. Taylor, M.D.
Publisher: C. F. Taylor, M.D., Publisher, Philadelphia
Published: 0000
Binding: Hardcover
Language: English
Number of Pages: 966
Catalogs: Medicine, History of Medicine
Description: Monthly journals, volume XXXIII no. 1, January 1915, through volume XXXIV no. 12, December 1916, 24 total issues. Bound together in a brown, pebbled cloth binding, and secured by cord through the holes in the journals. This is likely a journal-specific binding made available by the publisher, since this is not a library binding, nor are there any library markings. Occasional illustrations and photographs, as well as illustrations for advertisements. Pages are tanned but unmarked. Binding allows for easy reading and removal of journals. Some light evidence of dampstain on some pages. This journal was fashioned as one concerning the business of medicine, intended primarily for independent practitioners. Each issue has these components: business talk to doctors, the medical month, original communications, or articles of practical help to the profession, the monthly clinic, with questions and observations from subscribers, recent medical frauds, current medical thought, and book reviews. Frequent subjects also include fee lists for comparison from individual doctors, questions about financial speculation, the impact of the war in Europe on medical concerns, contract practice concerns in mining communities, narcotics and changing laws, and pharmaceutical or patent medicine frauds. Other subjects range broadly across the profession, including: treatment of pellagra, neurasthenia, gonorrhea, sterility by vasectomy, cigarettes and tobacco, eugenics, clubbed fingers, quinine and malaria, rheumatism, circumcision, tuberculosis, treatment of cancer by radium, chronic alcoholism, diseases and treatments among Indians of the Southwestern United States, hypertension, chronic and acute indigestion, Chinese medicines, digitalis, and much more. The journal employs a somewhat unique spelling convention probably derived from English spelling reform. From the nursing history collection of Sarah Abrams. Hardcover, bound journals, acceptable condition due to minor dampstain. 966 pages, large octavo.
