A propos de cet article

Publication: London, Published by the Author and by Elliot Stock, 1881. Formatting: 8vo, pp. 72, 96. Condition Report: Very Good. The original dark green cloth binding remains firm and remarkably well-preserved, with the gilt lettering on the front board still striking and bright. The blind-stamped decorations and borders are sharp. There is some minor bumping and light rubbing to the head and tail of the spine and the board corners, along with faint, scattered speckling and minor shelf-wear to the rear board. The hinges are tight and secure. Internally, the pages are clean, with light and even age-toning to the text block edges. The text block remains entirely free of foxing, staining, or reading marks. An uncommonly solid and attractive copy. Catalogue Note: This is the "New and Enlarged Edition" of Congreve's well-known treatise, complete with the extensive 96-page appendix. Although undated on the title page, the author's preface concludes with a printed date of January 1st, 1881, situating this specific printing to that year. Bound in an attractive dark green cloth with a prominent "One Shilling" gilt price on the front board, this format was uniquely designed to function as both an accessible, mass-market medical guide and an extended advertisement for the author's proprietary balsam remedies. It remains a somewhat scarce survival on the open market in such well-preserved original cloth, given its ephemeral nature as a 19th-century proprietary medical text. George Thomas Congreve’s On Consumption of the Lungs, or Decline offers a fascinating window into late-Victorian medical practices and the booming trade of proprietary health remedies. Focused on tuberculosis, the "formidable disease" of the era, this treatise confidently champions Congreve's own alternative remedies and lifestyle advice, presenting consumption as a curable condition rather than an automatic death sentence. Filled with extensive clinical observations, discussions of respiratory ailments like asthma and chronic bronchitis, and an appendix of patient correspondence, it serves as a captivating primary source for medical historians and anyone intrigued by 19th-century pharmacology and public health. …
