Curtis, A. LECTURES ON MIDWIFERY AND THE FORMS OF DISEASE PECULIAR TO WOMEN AND CHILDREN, DELIVERED TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BOTANICO-MEDICAL SCHOOL, AT COLUMBUS, OHIO. Columbus, Ohio: Printed for the Author by Jonathon Phillips, 1837. 5 1/2 by 3 3/4 inches in a modern fine binding of green full leather with raised bands and a gilt printed black leather label to the spine.
Samuel Thomson (1769-1843) was born in New Hampshire but popularized his approach to "botanico-medicine" in Columbus which became the "epi-center" of the controversial anti-traditional movement. "I have devoted most of a long life to reducing to a safe and simple practice a system of medical treatment, that should remedy the evils with which mankind has been afflicted to an incalculable amount, ever since the introduction of mineral poisons in the fifteenth century, which have ever since, formed the materia medica of the regular doctors, as they are called, and which are given to cure sick men, though sure to kill well ones if administered to them...But I wish, while living, to see my system promulgated, if at all, in its purity, and when dead, handed down through others who will preserve it, and not let it fall back again into the pernicious practices that have so long plagued the world under high-sounding names of learned quackery. If I am to be remembered at all, for I am past the age of ambition, I want it to be as a benefactor and not as a curse to mankind ; and this depends upon the fact, whether the learned Faculty on one side, from design and malice, and the ignorant Impostors on the other, from love of gain, shall abuse my system, and turn a great good into a great evil, till the people lose all confidence in the genuine by being poisoned by the counterfeit."
Bound volumes quite worn and rubbed with loss to spines and edges, etc. Contents foxed and toned but clean and fairly fresh. "Curtis Obstetrics" with intermittent foxing but otherwise Very Good and complete with 13 wood engraved illustrations; in Fine binding.Condition
