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. |

Constipation.
Constipation:
Is an occasional difficulty in infancy as well as in later childhood. It is advisable to check this disposition of the' infant, since
after it has become habitual considerable difficulty* may be experienced. The favorite remedy of nurses, manna, is always effectual
but not desirable, since the habitual administration of laxatives
will in the course of time render them necessary. Hence it is advisable, in case the bowels fail to move with the usual regularity,
to employ a small injection of warm salted water in the lower
bowel, or a small piece of soap may be introduced for the same
purpose. Yet even these measures are not called for by a simple
delay of a day or two unless some indisposition, such as slight fever
and restlessness, be manifested. The majority of these cases are
over-treated, a plan which often results in the production of the
very evil which it is intended to avoid, habitual constipation. If
a laxative must be used, five or ten drops of " cascara cordial,"
once a day, will be the best remedy.
