Drop “Valentine” into the search box on the MHL’s Internet Archive page and you get some interesting results. Lots on nineteenth century physician Valentine Mott, as you might imagine, but also items about a blind child prodigy, Valentine Miller and a 1909 warning on the perils of venereal disease from the AMA.
You can also flip through F. C. Valentine’s 600 Medical Don’ts and, if you’re tired of reading, watch a compilation of Marlboro commercials!
Don’t forget on this last day of #ColorOurCollections 2018 to head over to the project page and download your favorite books for this weekend, the long weekend ahead, heck, the long weekend after that, too — after all, there are dozens of participating institutions!
We went through and picked some our favorites from past years of #ColorOurCollections — I’m particularly fond of these two.
Because it’s time for #ColorOurCollections 2018!
You can get a look at all the offerings and don’t forget to grab ours!

It’s a grey day here in Boston on this first posting Monday of 2018, so I thought to brighten it up a bit with one of my favorite herbals.
This is from an 1852 reprint of Culpeper’s complete herbal : with nearly four hundred medicines, made from English herbs, physically applied to the cure of all disorders incident to man; with rules for compuounding them: also, directions for making syrups, ointments, &c, a work originally published in the seventeenth century by English physician Nicholas Culpeper.
The herbal has a long reprint history as you can see from the 18 different versions we have in the MHL collection.
