Book Description
Excerpt from Bulwer and Forbes on the Water-Treatment: A Compilation of Papers on the Subject of Hygiene and Rational Hydropathy The editor has preferred to reprint these papers without notes or material abridgment, rather than run the risk of doing injustice to their authors, and at the same time interrupting the attention of the careful reader. There may be some few points of a minor nature on which his Opinions are at variance, to a. Greater or less extent, with those set forth.in these papers with such brilliancy and force; but the occasion does not call for any detailed notice of them here. His own position the editor has felt it to be most proper to de fine in a separate paper at the close of the volume. To this he respectfully refers the reader.

An Annotated Catalogue of the Edward C. Atwater Collection of American Popular Medicine and Health Reform: A-L
Author: Christopher Hoolihan
Publisher: University Rochester Press
ISBN: 9781580460989
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 704
Book Description
This is a catalogue of the Edward C. Atwater Collection of rare books dealing with "popular medicine" in early America which is housed at the University of Rochester Medical School library. The books described in the catalogue were written by physicians and other professionals to provide information for the non-medical audience. The books taught human anatomy, hygiene, temperance and diet, how to maintain health, and how to cope with illness especially when no professional help was available. The books promoted a healthy lifestyle for the readers, giving guidance on everything from physical fitness and recreation to the special health needs of women. The collection consists of works dealing with reproduction [from birth control to delivering and caring for a baby], venereal disease, home-nursing, epidemics, and the need for public sex education. These books, covering areas largely ignored by the medical profession, made important contributions to the health of the American public, and the collection is a vital piece of medical history. The collector is Edward C. Atwater, Professor Emeritus of Medicine and the History of Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical School. Christopher Hoolihan is History of Medicine Librarian at the University of Rochester Medical School's Edward G. Miner LIbrary.
