We haven’t done a round-up of the latest items to hit our collection in awhile, so lets see what we have…
- It isn’t strictly medical but Typographia: or the printer’s instructor… (1824) makes for really interesting reading and has some great plates comparing alphabets and typefaces.
- Is The art of invigorating and prolonging life… (1822) the early nineteenth century equivalent of an Instagram wellness account?
- Edwin Lankester’s 1850 Vegetable substances used for the food of man might be just what you’re looking for if you’re considering a change in diet.
- The prevention of the common cold (1916) is an evergreen topic!
- Perhaps you want something more sober: the United States Army’s 1918 study of Syphilis and public health should be weighty enough.
And there’s many, many more! See the full date-sorted list here!
