You can read Dr. Chase's works online. Apparently there are also editions as early as 1870's. So cool. Also, worth noting, there are many other recipes for non-medical things used in the typical household during those time periods. It really gives good insight into the times!Anne Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10164218328146605384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365990433045665296.post-11066679439384319532011-11-09T06:02:58.583-07:002011-11-09T06:02:58.583-07:00Jordyn, I guess I lucked out on the price of the b...Jordyn, I guess I lucked out on the price of the book! I paid about $35!!<br />It is titled Dr. Chase's Last Complete Work, pubbed in 1903. However, it is a Memorial Edition, 3rd edition with the first pubbed in 1884, the second in 1887. It was intended to be available for every household, for the "practical knowledge of the people." It states in the dedication that over 120,000 people throughout the US and Canada had purchased the first 2 editions.Including the index, it is 865 pages long. It is in very good condition. I really think it was a God thing that I stumbled upon it among stacks and stacks of antique books at this antique store. I really wasn't going there for that sole purpose either! :o)<br />I'd be happy to do lookups for anyone who has historical medical questions.Anne Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10164218328146605384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365990433045665296.post-37557857839364639452011-11-07T00:20:44.200-07:002011-11-07T00:20:44.200-07:00Sharon,

That's why I took to the typewriter and especially the computer. <br /><br />I am going to have to play this one up!!!

I asked my brother-in-law who's a book fiend to keep an eye out for books like this but he said they went for hundreds of dollars! Did you pay that much? <br /><br />Here's the link Anne spoke of from her blog for others that might be interested in this resource. http://www.doctortreatments.com/index-contents-the-practical-home-physician-and-encyclopedia-of-medicine.html<br /><br />I'm thankful for modern medicine though I do shudder to think what future health care professionals will think about our current treatments.Jordyn Redwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14021715235725750286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365990433045665296.post-37330538054424121712011-11-04T04:31:59.841-06:002011-11-04T04:31:59.841-06:00Thanks for sharing Jordyn.

Its the last link on the right hand side of my blog link list. Plus, I use an 19th century medical book I picked up at an antique store as my primary resources for my current WIP, Lena's Courage. My heroine is a doctor in northern Wisconsin, 1894.Anne Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10164218328146605384noreply@blogger.com
