Book Description
This is a catalogue of the Edward C. Atwater Collection of rare books dealing with "popular medicine" in early America which is housed at the University of Rochester Medical School library. The books described in the catalogue were written by physicians and other professionals to provide information for the non-medical audience. The books taught human anatomy, hygiene, temperance and diet, how to maintain health, and how to cope with illness especially when no professional help was available. The books promoted a healthy lifestyle for the readers, giving guidance on everything from physical fitness and recreation to the special health needs of women. The collection consists of works dealing with reproduction [from birth control to delivering and caring for a baby], venereal disease, home-nursing, epidemics, and the need for public sex education. These books, covering areas largely ignored by the medical profession, made important contributions to the health of the American public, and the collection is a vital piece of medical history. The collector is Edward C. Atwater, Professor Emeritus of Medicine and the History of Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical School. Christopher Hoolihan is History of Medicine Librarian at the University of Rochester Medical School's Edward G. Miner LIbrary.

Book Description
Excerpt from Common Sense on Chronic Diseases: Or, a Rational Treatise on the Mechanical Cause and Cure of Most Chronic Affections of the Truncal Organs of Both Male and Female Systems, Embracing the Author's Views on Physical Education, and the Present Popular System on Artificial Life Others, again, address only the taste, and feed the volatile senses and passions; of course offering but few charms to those of a practical and moral cast of mind. Indeed, there is almost an infinite variety of character in the subjects chosen by different writers, and adapted to the varied tastes and wants of a diversified world; but, from religion, down to the most gro velling topic, there is but one theme that possesses a charm in its name and import - vibrates on every heart, and addresses every taste and turn of mind, from the devout religionist to the confirmed materialist, from the rich to the poor, the learned and the ignorant; that theme is the health of the human body. While every son and daughter of Adam continues to possess one common organization, and remain under one and the same set of laws; and while they all continue to feel in their bodies the effects of the fall, so long will there be a perpetual exposure to some variety or other of the physical woes, that, in their turn, afflict our fallen race; and, consequently, while the love of life or the fear of death, the desire of ease and dread of pain, hold their empire over man, so long will the subject of human health be important and interesting to all alike.
