THE PRACTICAL
HOME PHYSICIAN AND ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MEDICINE
The biggy of the late 1800's. Clearly shows the massive inroads in medical science and the treatment of disease.

ALCOHOL AND THE HUMAN BODY In fact alcohol was known to be a poison, and considered quite dangerous. Something modern medicine now agrees with. This was known circa 1907. A very impressive scientific book on the subject.

DISEASES OF THE SKIN is a massive book on skin diseases from 1914. Don't be feint hearted though, it's loaded with photos that I found disturbing.

Clothing.

Clothing: The primary object of clothing is to retard the escape of heat from the body, though this object has become subordinate to purposes of ornamentation and display. Different fabrics possess various qualities which render them more or less adapted for the purposes of clothing at different seasons and under different circumstances.

Cotton-Possesses to an unusual degree the power of absorbing the moisture ; hence it is especially adapted for use as underclothing under circumstances which result in excessive perspiration.

It is largely used as underwear in tropical regions.

Linen-Is softer and less irritating to the skin than cotton. It is, however, a good conductor of heat, and hence less adapted for preserving the warmth of the body.

Wool-Is a non-conductor of heat, and hence commonly employed to preserve the warmth of the body. Its roughness and its power of generating electricity by friction, render it unsuited for immediate contact with the skin.

In the selection of materials which are to touch the skin, care must be taken that they contain no injurious coloring material. The dyes which are now extensively employed for coloring underwear often contain arsenic and other poisonous substances, as a result of which severe imflammation of the skin and even constitutional effects have occurred.

A disadvantage in the employment of flannels next to the skin is the fact that they retain moisture, and offer a favorable soil for the development of vegetable parasites. The parasitic growth on the skin popularly known as " liver spots " is observed with especial frequency in those who wear flannel.
