Description
Bremen: F C Dubbers, 1847. First Edition.. Contemporary marbled boards.. Very good.. 8vo, viii, [1] - 126 pp. A succinct and rare manual for ship-board medical treatment written by a 'practical' physician that is accompanied by a supplement or appendix listing the medicines contained in the medical kit and finally a brief section on herbs and their use in cooking. Indicating the prevalence of ailments aboard ship the text is divided into sections dealing with fever, inflammation, nervous ailments, gastric ailments, infectious disease (esp. typhus). Wounds etc. are briefly covered. Emphasis is on true illness. It is remarkable that this book was written by an apprenticed 'physician' who considers each ailment from practical experience rather than a clincal perspective. Such manuals do appear in English; they are usually brief. This German language manual is unusual since there was little voyaging originating in Germany at this time - coastal trips being the norm and therefore not out of range of quick medical assistance if needed. Therefore its detailed text outlining symptoms and treatment and the list of medicines are beyond what is encountered in the English language pamphlets of the period. Unlocated.

Description
San Francisco: The Bay Area Carpenter [Anonymous rank and file of Carpenters' Local 36], 1938. Ephemera. Small archive includes the five issues of the anonymous rank and file newsletter, “The Bay Area Carpenter,” and the first issue after the title changed to, "Building Trades News," in folded newsletter format [4p. each]. Throughout, newsletters are evenly toned with fold-creases, edges are chipped and frayed, issue no. 2 cover is slightly wrinkled, some minor rubbing throughout, overall in very good condition, but delicate. Present: vol. 1, nos. 1, 2, 4, 6-7 (May-June); and Building Trades News, vol. 1, no. 1 (July). Preceding the first newsletter is an anonymous 8.5x14 inch bulletin titled “Carpenters’ Weekly News Bulletin,” dated April 1, 1938. The bulletin sets the precedent for The Bay Area Carpenter by challenging the same union leaders Dave Ryan and Don Cameron and carrying forth many of the same anonymous dissatisfactions. Letter is evenly toned, middle folding crease, a slight soil spot on the lower left side, otherwise in very good condition. Lastly, there’s an 8.5x11 inch double-sided letter from the union leaders of the Bay Counties District Council of Carpenters expressing disapproval of the anonymous newsletter and its wide circulation in the labor headquarters, while also working to dispel some of the supposed misinformation. Letter is slightly creased and toned, else in very good condition. The Bay Area Carpenter was an anonymous newsletter distributed throughout the headquarters of the International Brotherhood of Carpenters in San Francisco. It claimed to be the voice of the rank and file members and to clean out the racketeers, but it also carried an ongoing dispute between the International Brotherhood of Carpenters and the CIO.
