Description
Boston: I. Thomas and E. T. Andrews, 1791. FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. Engraved frontispiece of a joint abscess and surgical tools to deal with it. Contemporary tree calf, rebacked; some browning and spotting due to paper stock. Bookplate of Alfred M. Hellman, signature and stamp of Amory Gale (1800-1873), an allopathic physician from the Northeast who ultimately turned to homeopathy, with manuscript dates of 1794 and 1827. First American edition, originally published in 1778. Considered one of the classics of eighteenth-century physiology, Bell here treats inflammation, ulcers and swelling of the joints. Of particular interest is his description of cancerous ulcers with recommendation of medical treatment, including the use of “flores martiales” and other homeopathic remedies. Bell (1749-1806) was one of the most famous Edinburgh surgeons of the eighteenth century. He improved the methods of amputation and emphasized the importance of seeking some means of preventing or diminishing pain in surgical operations.

Description
[New York]: Friars Club. Very Good. 1958. First Edition. Softcover. (plastic-comb binding) [moderate handling wear, plastic comb is cracked in the middle but still holding firm, rear cover is detached and laid in at the front]. (B&W photographs, ads, cartoon drawings, etc.) Tribute book for an event that sadly never took place, having been cancelled following the untimely death (the preceding day) of its honoree, theatrical (and lately movie) producer/impresario Michael Todd, in a plane crash while flying from California to New York to attend this very event, where he was to be presented with the Friars' "Showman of the Year" award. (His then-wife, Elizabeth Taylor, was suffering from a cold and stayed behind in L.A., little suspecting that her next big role would be that of the grieving widow.) The tribute book itself is full of the usual stuff: primarily ads and Friars-related photographs (many with Abbot Emeritus Milton Berle), and with testimonials from a few of his showbiz buddies testifying to what a swell fellow Todd was. Those who contributed these single-page paeans were comedian Joe E. Lewis, Harry Delf (then Dean of the Friars Club), Abel Green (editor of Variety), and Bill Doll (Todd's longtime publicist). It's interesting (and not a little morbid) to note that the full-page ad on the inside rear cover was paid for by Eddie Fisher -- who stepped in to comfort Liz Taylor after Todd's demise, and soon became her next lover (and later husband). .
