"...the surgeon is destitute of human sympathy; so far as its more familiar manifestations are concerned, it ought to be so; for tremulous hands and tear-blinded eyes are but illy calculated for surgical duties; but I think it will be found that surgeons enjoy no immunity from the ordinary emotions of the body and heart." In this state-of-the-art, sometimes humorous, always compassionate book about his medical practice, Dr. Edward Dixon reveals to the lay audience what it was like being a practitioner of the healing arts in mid-nineteenth century America. Covering topics as diverse as tuberculosis, whooping cough, scarlet fever, and the detriments of celibacy, he writes in simple prose about case studies from his own career. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.

Excerpt from Modern Lightning Conductors: An Illustrated Supplement to the Report of the Lightning Research Committee of 1905, Also the as Fire Office Methods Rules, With Notes as to the Methods of Protection and Specifications As a rule the path taken by lightning when striking a building is intelligible, but there are many instances where it has shown such curious freaks that it was thought that a summary of a few of these, under the heading of Vagaries, might be included, also the account of the Effects of Lightning on a Rod, furnished by Mr. William Maine, South Carolina, 1760.
