"Shortly after graduating [medical school] Winterbottom left for Sierra Leone. He arrived on 1 August 1792, and spent seven years as physician there, during which time he recorded his experiences in two successful works... [His] second book, An account of the native Africans in the neighbourhood of Sierra Leone, to which is added an account of the present state of medicine among them (2 vols., 1803), contained his unofficial observations and is the main source of his reputation as a clinical observer. It contains his classic description of sleeping sickness, trypanosomiasis, among local Africans. The enlargement of the cervical lymph glands (on the neck), which he noted, has become known as 'Winterbottom's sign'." (Oxford DNB). Winterbottom noticed that slave dealers would not buy slaves whose neck glands showed signs of enlargement which prompted his research. Garrison and Morton. Norman Library. HBS 68976. $5,750.

Title: Investigation of Senator Herman E. Talmadge: Open Session Hearings Before the Senate Committee on Ethics.... Exhibits -- Volume 3
Author: (TALMADGE, Herman E.)
Seller: Main Street Fine Books & Manuscripts, ABAA (United States)
Description: Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1980. Hardcover. 8vo. Tan cloth with gilt spine lettering against red, black and green. iii, 847pp. Marbled page edges. Extensive illustrations. Near fine. Talmadge (1913-2002) was a Georgia Democrat who served the peach state as 70th governor (1947-1948-55) and as senator (1957-81); in 1979 he became the eighth U.S. Senator officially censured -- for "Improper financial conduct, accepting reimbursements for official expenses not incurred, and improper reporting of campaign receipts and expenditures." Senator Adlai E. Stevenson III from Illinois (1930-2021) chaired the Committee on Ethics that brought about this rare censure, and this is his personal copy of the "Hearing Exhibits" volume -- the pictorial record, a massive amount of reproduced documents entered into evidence that chronicle Talmadge's financial misdeeds in excruciating detail. Quite unusual and truly scarce, being "Printed for the use of the Select Committee on Ethics" and not for public distribution -- likely only a handful of copies.
