Description
(title at beginning of text) [or] Shinsen ryōyaku zukai Nichiyō ryōba iben 新選良薬図解日用療馬医便 [Convenient Readings in Equine Medicine for Daily Use, with Illustrations & Explanations and Newly Selected Helpful Medicines] (title on title-slips). 16 full-page woodcut illus. 32.5; 32.5; 31 folding leaves. Three vols. 8vo, orig. semi-stiff wrappers, orig. title-slips (partially worn off), new stitching. Edo & Kyoto: Nishimura Genroku 西村源六 & Nishimura Ichirōemon 西村市郎右衛門, 1758. First edition of this rare work on horse medicine. We find no copy of this edition in WorldCat in North America and only one copy of the 1849 edition. Tokugawa Japan had a great many horses, and thus a need for literature on equine medicine. For example, Hachinohe domain 八戸藩 in northern Honshū raised around 15,000-20,000 horses, all requiring medical care (Suzuki Yoshitoki 鈴木淳世, “Edo jidai kita Tōhōku no jūigakusho” 江戸時代の獣医学書, Fumi no mori 11 [2021]: p. 1). Our book contains information on diseases afflicting horses and what we believe are recipes for remedies, containing different ingredients with marked quantities. These remedies take up the bulk of Vols. 1 and 2. There is also a list of symptoms and their causes. If the horse is lying down and unable to get up, then that indicates a disease of the joints and bones. If it has trouble moving its hind legs, it is a problem of the shoulder. If the horse is grinding its teeth and keeping its head down, the heart — or mind — is the issue. If it gets up fast only to lie down immediately, it is an illness of the spleen, and so on. The final volume discusses acupuncture for horses. Several illustrations show the various pressure points. The body parts and innards of the horse are also shown, with the internal parts depicted in very schematic fashion. Horses are shown from different angles. In some illustrations, their hooves are tied up. Fine copy, some marginal staining.

Description
Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, Inc, 1951. First edition. Near Fine/Very Good +. A Very Good+ copy of the book in a Very Good jacket. Book with some discoloration to the boards and minor offsetting to the endpapers. Dust jacket with wear at the spine ends and some short tears, especially the top front corner. Faint dampstain affecting the lower quarter of the spine of both book and jacket. Inscribed on the front free end paper by the author: "Mac! Ray Bradbury 6/12/88." A collection of short stories by one of Science Fiction's strongest voices. In Bradbury's classic style, flawed and deeply human characters struggle against forces exponentially larger than themselves: from a story of the atomic war seen from the Mexican-American border to a man whose living and moving tattoos predict tragedy. Poignant at the time of its publication, the book has maintained its prophetic power. "Readers today will find in The Illustrated Man a fresh perspective that illuminates global issues like artificial intelligence and climate change" (JSTOR Daily). Some stories would serve as the basis for the 1969 film adaptation of the same name. Near Fine in Very Good + dust jacket.
