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 Respiration.
Organs of Respiration.-The air passes down the windpipe, or trachea, through its branches - the bronchial tubes -
into the air cells. These are little cavities hollowed out in the substance of the lung ; the bronchial tube and the air cells in which
it terminates have the same general form and arrangement as a
bunch of grapes.
The walls of these little air cells contain capillary blood vessels
through which the blood circulates in order to be purified. The
lung itself is composed of elastic, rubber-like tissue, which is
stretched when the chest is expanded, so that the air is forced into
the air cells, and which collapses when the chest is contracted, so
that the air is forced out of the air cells. In this way provision is
made for a constant change of the air in the air cells.
