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.

Wry要eck.

Wry要eck is a peculiar distortion, in which the head is bent toward one shoulder or the other (usually the right), is due to any one of several causes. The most frequent cause consists in a contraction of a muscle which runs from the breast苑one to the bony prominence of the skull behind the ear. This unnatural state of contraction of the muscles may be the result of an inflammation, whereby the muscle is bound by adhesions to the surrounding tissues, or it may be merely a spasmodic affection. It occurs chiefly in feeble and sickly children.

The same result-wry要eck-may occur as the effect of a disease of the spine, or of some growth in the side of the neck. A similar deformity results also from extensive burns of the neck, since the scar which remains contracts and pulls the head downward.

Treatment. - Tbe treatment must be adapted to the cause of the affection. If the difficulty results from a spasmodic or inflammatory condition of the muscle, it may be relieved by treatment addressed to the general health ; tonics and medicines which regulate the stomach and bowels will be found most serviceable. If the side of the neck be very tender and painful, hot fomentations should be applied around the neck, and a dose of Rochelle salts or the citrate of magnesia should be given. If there be no especial tenderness upon pressure, relief from the deformity can often be obtained by ironing the neck with a warm flat-iron, a piece of flannel being laid over the skin.

In some cases these and all other measures fail; in these instances the condition can be remedied by a surgical operation which consists in dividing the muscle where it is attached to the breast苑one and the collar-bone.
