Description: Philadelphia: Henry H Porter, 1832. First Edition. Publisher's original cloth backed boards with original orange glazed paper label on the front cover.. Good; heavily spotted throughout; contemporary signature torn from the title page; spine worn; covers loosening.. 8vo, 4 (adverts.) 80 pp. This copy with cogent annotations. Porter had a brief career as publisher in Philadelphia during the early 1830s. The book offered here was issued by the Journal of Health - another Porter project that failed in 1834 after four years. Porter, however, occupies an important place in the development of American medicine. Through his handful of separate publications and the journal he was unrelenting in his criticism of Thomsonians, botanical "doctors", homoeopaths, and purveyors of nostrums. He sought to bring medical care under the supervision of properly educated and trained physicians. Together with Jon Bell and David Condie they accounted for virtually all of the content in his publications. All of his publications are scarce in the market. See Atwater #2053.
