Appears to be from a set of medical texts/monographs. This copy contains subjects such as Midwifery, Bloodletting, uses of Mercury in the treatment of Syphilis, Heart and Lung problems, Midwifery, Hypnotism….Good amount of engrossing case histories too. Writers of the various monographs were leading physicians of the time. Great window into medicine in the early 19th. century. This copy is in poor-fair condition. Scattered foxing, heavy in areas, age tone on some pages, none are brittle. The exterior is very worn. Corner bumps, edge wear, the original spine cover has been replaced with a piece of book cloth. Binding is good.
