Red-brown cloth covered boards, gilt titles to spine. The autobiography of someone who entered medical school in 1880 and retired some 50 years later. Explaining his choice of Cornell he writes "Anyone who could stain tissues so they might be told apart and who could get an oil immersion lens actually to work was looked up to as a superior person, not to be found in the common sort of college." His account of his working life gives as much insight into the changes in social attitudes over that 50 years as it does in developments in medicine. Condition: Boards are a little knocked and the spine faded, but this is a pleasant, sound copy. The pages are clean and bright, although I have found one or two instances of pencil marking in the margins.

Solid with a spine roll and the covers show light wear.

Frontis. 347pp. 8vo, cloth, d.w.; dust wrapper stained and torn. N.Y.: E.P. Dutton, 1935. A very good copy in a poor dust wrapper.

The fascinating story of one man's journey from youth into medical school in the 1880s and onward toward becoming an M.D. and a surgeon. He interned at Bellevue and writes about his experiences with Antisepsis;, Gland Grafting; Appendicitis; Osteopathy; Psychoanalysis; Sex and Birth Control; Experimental Work; Fee-Splitting, and Professional Jealousies. This book is in amazing condition for such an old paperback. There is only one small corner crease on the bottom of the front cover-- no chips, marks, tears, wrinkles, names or writing anywhere. A lovely vintage copy. None of my books are remainders, bce, or ex-library unless specified.
