8vo. [ii], xiv, [2], 243, [3] pp. Plates. Gilt decorated brown leather, raised bands, all edges gilt. Fine. Special limited edition reprinting of the 1921 first edition. "This book is based on the Silliman Lectures delivered at Yale in 1913. It remained unfinished at Osler's death, and Osler requested in his will that it and his other unfinished works not be published. In spite of this, work was prepared for the press by Harvey Cushing, Archibald Malloch and others. It is one of the most interesting short histories of medicine, written in Osler's usual charming style, and is still one of the best books with which to commence the study of medical history." â" Garrison and Morton 6414.

Offprint. 24 cm. 4 pp. Printed wrappers. Very good. 'The condition of arteriovenous aneurism has interested Osler for a number of years, he having had under observation at intervals a man whose case he described in the Annals of Surgery, 1893. A the time the patient was 25 years old. When fifteen he had fallen and a lead pencil in his waistcoat pocket penetrated the axilla, causing an arteriovenous aneurism. He had remained very well, had been active and strong, had rowed in boat races. Osler heard of this patient not many months ago. He had served through the South African war, so that his general health must have remained good. The aneurism has persisted now for more than twenty-three years. Arteriovenous aneurism is so rare a lesion that even surgeons of large experience are often a little perplexed as to the best course to follow. Osler is very much impressed with this in the extraordinary differences of opinion given to the young man with the lesion high up in the axillary artery.' - Practical Medicine Series of Year Books, Volume 1, October, 1902.

Series: The Climatologist. April, 1892. Offprint. 22.5 cm. 5, [1] pp. Self-printed wrappers. Near fine. 'In early years Osler was mainly interested in the pathology and diagnosis of tuberculosis. While Koch's discovery of the bacillus raised hope that a specific treatment would soon emerge, the much-trumpeted tuberculin had been an embarrassment. Like many others, Osler was impressed by the late-1880s research of Edward L. Trudeau, a consumptive New York doctor who had moved to the Adirondacks for the pure air that was thought to be helpful. Working with tubercular rabbits, Trudeau seemed to have proved that animals kept in damp, dark quarters fared much more poorly than those allowed to roam around in fresh air.' This served to promote Trudeau and the sanitarium movement in America. 'Osler sent patients who could afford it, including Hopkins staff and his own relatives, to Trudeau's establishment. The apparent success of a natural therapeutic approach over tuberculin and many other failed drugs fitted nicely with his own evolving views. As early as 1891 he realized there was a social dimension to the TB therapy problem in that many of the urban poor were as confined in their cramped and poorly ventilated housing as some of Trudeau's rabbits. In the first edition of his text, Osler called on cities to build sanitaria, within easy access by railway, for poor consumptives.' - Michael Bliss, William Osler: A Life in Medicine, p. 281-2. Golden & Roland 608. [HM].

Offprint. 25.5 cm. 7, [1] pp. Self-printed wrappers. Near fine. First issue. 'In 1989 Sir William Osler detailed the case of a 31-year old man suffering from 'an acute myxedematous condition, with tachycardia, glycosuria, melena, mania and death.' In particular, Osler was impressed by the rapid weight gain and the 'bloated' appearance of his patient's face. Unfortunately, however, the constellation of symptoms and signs that we now attribute to glucocorticoid excess had not been described and the patient succumbed while being treated for hypothyroidism.' - Michael Fowler & Lewis S. Blevins, 'A Rational Approach of the Patient suspected of having Cushing's Syndrome,' Cushing's Syndrome, 2002. 'It has been suggested (Altschule, M.D., New England J. of Med., 1980, cccii, 1153-1155) that this case is an early description of Cushing's syndrome, in which, regrettably, no post-mortem examination was performed.' - Golden & Roland.

Series: Maryland Medical Journal, June, 1898. pp. 717-723. Offprint. 25.6 cm. 7, [1] pp. Self-printed wrappers. Very good. Osler briefly discusses the epidemiology and pathology of meningitis or 'cerebro-spinal fever' as it pertained to a mild outbreak in the Baltimore area at the time of publication. 'With the close of the school session, the usual post-graduate courses began, and though these were largely taken over by the junior members of the hospital staff, who thereby eked out their meagre university salaries, Osier always participated. Thus on June 18th he gave them a clinical lecture, using cerebrospinal fever as his text ; for the epidemic had in mild form reached Baltimore, and there were seven cases in his wards.' - Harvey Cushing, The Life of Sir William Osler, p. 471. Golden & Roland 699. [HM].

Offprint. 24 cm. 15, [1] pp. Self-printed wrappers. Near fine. 'The rapid spread and wide distribution of knowledge concerning [Huntington's Disease] was in no small measure due to the interest that William Osler . . . took in it. Osler had a lifelong interest in chorea . . . [he] dealt specifically with Huntington's chorea in several case reports and papers (1890, 1893, 1894). - Gillian Bates, Sarah Tabrizi, Lesley Jones, Huntington's Disease, Oxford University Press, (2002), pp. 9-10, 12, 13. 'Osler had become an authority on chorea, having published a lengthy paper in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases in 1893, and a monograph, On Chorea and Choreiform Affections, in 1894, both of which included discussions of the hereditary disease.' - Alice Wexler, The Woman Who Walked Into the Sea: Huntington's and the Making of a Genetic Disease. Yale University Press, 2014. p. 47. Golden & Roland 627. [HM].

Series: Montreal Medical Journal, Feb. 1902. Offprint. 25.2 cm 6 pp. Printed wrappers. Very good. 'The twentieth century saw the depersonalization of case reports and the standardization of their structure, with the rise of the now-familiar 'introduction/case report/discussion' format and the gradual disappearance of the author from the narrative. Osler's 1902 report of two cases of intermittent claudication is characteristic of this modern transition point in the case report. He begins with a recollection of a horse autopsy he had viewed with some members of the Montreal Veterinary College more than 20 years before. The horse had been afflicted with a 'peculiar form of intermittent lameness,' and the autopsy showed 'verminous aneurysms. . . of the iliac arteries.' He cites the case of another horse that had to stop and rest 'after being driven for fifteen or twenty minutes;' autopsy showed clots obstructing the arteries in both hind legs. He then gives a thorough review of the literature, including a case reported by Charcot in 1856 of a soldier with classic intermittent claudication, who was found at autopsy to have a bullet encysted near the iliac artery, which had caused an aneurysm with obliteration of the lower part of the artery. Collateral blood flow had allowed a modest level of activity, but more vigorous activity caused ischemic pain that was relieved only with rest. Osler then describes his own case of a young man with a syphilitic abdominal aortic aneurysm who developed leg claudication symptoms after the aneurysm was successfully treated with 'wiring and electrolysis' . . . In this terrifically interesting and entertaining interspecies case report, Osler writes in the first person, and brings in his odd (though very apt) experience in veterinary medicine. - Clifford D. Packer; Gabrielle N. Berger, Writing Case Reports: A Practical Guide from Conception through Publication. Golden & Roland 750. [HM].

Series: Johns Hopkins Hospital Reports, Vol. V. Offprint. 25 cm. [2], [321]-326 pp. Printed wrappers; extremities chipped. Good. 'seventy-five per cent of typhoid fever cases would recover under any form of treatment, Osler estimated. Good nursing, diet, and the abandonment of drugging would save the lives of another 15 per cent, he thought, calculating from the Hopkins experience. And then there was hydrotherapy, the cold-bath treatment about which he felt so much ambivalence. by 1894 the reduction in mortality achieved at Hopkins had convinced him that hydrotherapy had saved an extra 3 or 4 per cent of typhoid patients; the next year he estimated 6 to 7 per cent of typhoid patients; the next year he estimated 6 to 8 per cent and dropped from his textbook his cri de coeur against the barbarism of the cold bath. Such a convert had Dr. Osler become to his residents' enthusiasm for the treatment that he once demonstrated the technique at a clinical lecture.' - Michael Bliss, William Osler, A Life in Medicine. Golden & Roland 657. [HM].

Offprint. 25.5 cm. 3, [1] pp. Printed wrappers; corners slightly chipped. Near fine. Osler describes the circumstances surrounding an isolated outbreak of typhoid at a large house in Darligton, Maryland. 10 cases and 4 deaths were recorded. In the offprint Osler relates the detective work required to identify the probable source of the outbreak. Golden & Roland 616. [HM].

Series: Johns Hopkins Hospital Reports, Vol. 5. Offprint. 25 cm. [2], 445,457, [1] pp. Printed wrappers; cover detached. 4 charts. Very good. Osler makes the point that chills, which he felt were generally ignored 'except as a symptom of the onset of the disease,' by most physicians, should be considered more carefully. In this article he describes numerous cases of chills in typhoid fever, as well as his attempts to ascertain their causes and significance. 'Nothing influenced Osler's views of therapeutics as much as his analysis of the treatment of typhoid fever at Hopkins. If no known medication killed the disease, what could be done' Abandoning the administration of drugs that made patients worse was the first step forward. Careful attention to diet and first-class nursing attention were much more than just counsels of despair or holding actions.' - Michael Bliss, William Osler, A Life in Medicine. Golden & Roland 659. [HM].

Offprint. 23.5 cm. 8 pp. Self-printed wrappers. Very good. Rare. 'In Medical News surveys of Philadelphia clinicians' treatments of pneumonia and typhoid fever, Dr. Osler was generally in line with his colleagues in stressing diet, rest, and caution in most cases and strong interventions when necessary. But no one else still recommended the use of leeches to treat headache in the early stages of typhoid fever.' - Bliss, p. 156-7. 'seventy-five per cent of typhoid fever cases would recover under any form of treatment, Osler estimated. Good nursing, diet, and the abandonment of drugging would save the lives of another 15 per cent, he thought, calculating from the Hopkins experience.

Series: Edinburgh Medical Journal, May, 1899. Offprint. 22 cm. [441]-453, [1] pp. Printed wrappers. Very good. 'Dr. Rolleston first referred to Osler's chronic splenic anaemia in adults, already mentioned by Dr. Yeo. In this interesting disease there might be recurrent attacks of haematemesis with intervening periods of comparative fair or even good health. That haematemesis Osler described as being due to the obstruction to the passage of blood from the cardiac end of the stomach by the vasa brevia into the splenic vein. As bearing on the explanation he referred to the case of a man under his care at St. George's Hospital with well-marked splenic anaemia of 12 years' duration, who for the last three years had had periodic attacks of haematemesis at intervals of five months. The spleen in that case was removed, and a good recovery was hoped for, inasmuch as the statistics in splenic anaemia after splenectomy were very good. But he died in 48 hours from an extensive gastro-intestinal haemorrhage. It was thought that that haemorrhage was mechanical, and that is depended on obstruction of vasa brevia veins.' - Transactions of the Medical Society of London, Volume 26, (1903), p. 69.

These papers represent Osler's contribution to the second volume of Hopkins' Hospital Reports. 'Osler, in his very thorough article on this subject speaks of cases resembling in general appearance and in certain ways, tubercular peritonitis, where the nodules found scattered over the peritoneal surface are not tuberculous, but are either fibrous, syphilitic, lymphomatous, or even carcinomatous in character. . . . Osler has written so clearly and so well upon the whole subject of peritoneal tuberculosis that there is little need of further work in that direction at present.' - S. J. Mixter, 'Laparotomy in Tubercular Peritonitis,' The New England Journal of Medicine, Volume CXXVIII, January-June 1893. Golden & Roland 599 & 600. [HM].
