Book Description
Excerpt from New-York Journal of Medicine and Surgery, Vol. 2: January-April, 1840 The operation was soon after repeated by other surgeons in different parts of Germany, in France, and in England. In the beginning of September, 1837, I performed the operation in new-york, and repeated it several times soon after; and in the number of the American Journal of the Medical Sciences, for May, 1838, I published a report of several successful cases. As no notice had appeared before that time, in any publication, of this operation having been performed in America, I was in duced to believe that I had been the first surgeon who had per formed it on this side of the Atlantic, and, indeed, for a short time I enjoyed the credit of it, until soon after, Dr. Dickson of N. C., and Dr. Smith of Baltimore, claimed the priority. As the medical periodicals of this country had given me the credit, Of its introduction here, Dr. Stromeyer was misled to believe it. And I herewith make to those gentlemen an apology for my friend, for saying in his work on club-foot, Dr. Detmold, late surgeon Of the royal Hanoverian army, commenced his practice in new-york, with a series of successful divisions of the tendo Achillis. The enterprising surgeons of America had until then not undertaken this Operation, although my essays in Rust's Journal had been translated in the American medical pe riodicals. But although I have thus no claim to the priority, Dr. Dickson having operated once in 1835, two years before me, and Dr. Smith in 1836, - yet, as neither of these gentlemen, nor any other surgeon in this country, had ieported any cases of the Operation before I began, and as since the publication of my re port, several hundred cases (of which number, however, I claim the greater part myself, ) have been operated upon in the different cities of the United States, I say, from these circumstances, I am inclined to believe that I have done something for the introduc tion and establishment of this operation in this part of the world.

ISBN: 9781580460989
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 704
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.
