Etat : A fine copy. (20048). First edition, first binding. Octavo, pp. [i-viii] ix-x [xi-xx] 1-149 [150-152: blank] [note: last leaf is a blank], eight inserted plates with illustrations by A. J. Keller, original decorated blue-green cloth, front and spine panels stamped in gold, t.e.g., fore-edge untrimmed, bottom edge rough trimmed. Collects two stories. The first printing of the novelette version of "The Autobiography of a Quack," first published anonymously in the ATLANTIC MONTHLY in October and November, 1867. "It was a realistic account of the devices by which a dishonest and ignorant physician proceeds, and it gave a veracious picture of the seamy side of life in Philadelphia and other large cities. Homeopathy, spiritualism and other pet aversions of the orthodox physician were treated in a humorous way, and the cold-blooded manner in which the quack tells his story made it a successful piece of irony." - Quinn, American Fiction, p. 311. "The Case of George Dedlow," Mitchell's first published story, was published anonymously and without his knowledge in the ATLANTIC MONTHLY in July, 1866. It is largely a realistic story of the feelings, both physical and mental, of an army surgeon who lost both arms and legs in a battle which occurred during the American Civil War. The satire becomes clear at the end when Dedlow is briefly united with his legs during a spiritualistic seance. Some readers missed the point and, according to Mitchell, "the spiritual incident at the end of the story was received with joy by the spiritualists as a valuable proof of the truth of their beliefs." Wright (III) 3777. BAL 14192.

Couverture rigide. Etat : Très bon. Edition originale. iv+102 pp; 16/23,5; originele omslag Vertaling van: Fat and blood: An essay on the treatment of certain forms of neurasthenia and hysteria (4th ed 1885) S. Weir Mitchell (1829-1914) gilt als einer der Väter der Neurologie in Amerika und als früher Pionier in der wissenschaftlichen-experimentellen Medizin (er war u.a. auch Schüler von Claude Bernard in Paris). Er beschrieb als erster den Phantomschmerz und prägte den Begriff "causalgia" (brennende Schmerzen nach Nervenverletzungen). - In seinen späteren Jahren entwickelte er die hier beschriebene spezielle Kur von Menschen mit "Neurasthenie und Hysterie", damals häufig benutzte Begriffe für "Neurose". Die Kur bestand aus Isolation, Bettruhe, Elektrotherapie, Massagen und systematischer Überernährung (!). ELLENBERGER: "This treatment could last for months and sometimes for years, and became fashionable among the well-to-do. It was given the nickname of `Dr. Diet and Dr. Quiet`" (p. 244).
