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. |

Organs of Excretion.
Organs of Excretion.-The materials which have been used
in the animal economy, and are no longer fit to remain in the body,
are cast out or excreted by various organs, chiefly the kidneys, the
lungs, the skin and the intestines.
The kidneys are located one on either side of the spinal column
at the level of the lowest rib. Each is four or five inches long, and
two or three inches wide.
The kidneys cast out from the body a large quantity of matter
which has been used ; this matter is washed out and escapes in the
form of the urine. This fluid, excreted by the kidneys, flows down
a membranous tube about the size of a goose quill, called the
ureter, which empties it into the bladder.
The skin has an important duty to perform in throwing out
waste materials from the body. These materials escape in the form
of perspiration, the suppression of which causes serious interference with the health.
