MEDICAL INTRO
BOOKS ON OLD MEDICAL TREATMENTS AND REMEDIES

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.

Roseola.

This affection, sometimes called false measles, is a disease of no
gravity, but possessing a certain importance, because it is necessary
to avoid confounding it with scarlet fever or measles.
 
In most cases a certain amount of constitutional disturbance—
headache, loss of appetite, sometimes nausea and vomiting, a slight
chill and some fever, precede for a day or two the eruption. This
appears finally as rose-colored spots, which are not raised into pim­
ples, but disappear temporarily upon pressure. It appears upon
the trunk more commonly than upon the face, and usually lasts notmore than two days. It is readily distinguished from scarlet fever
and measles by the absence of the throat affection in the one case
and of the inflammation in the eyes and nose in the other case;
moreover, the rash is easily distinguishable from those of the two
diseases named; it requires no treatment.
