Description
[New York], 1862. Unique.. Later plain brown wrappers.. Very good.. 4to., 42 pp. (with corrections recto and verso). The original 42 page fully corrected holograph manuscript in Mott's hand. It was written at the request of the Sanitary Commission at the height of the Civil War. A remarkable essay on wound haemorrhages that begins by citing Dryden's description of the death of the Tyrrhenian (Etruscan) queen and moves rapidly to a description of trooper's in the field trying to revive a comrade in a feint from a gunshot wound. Mott rhetorically admonishes the friends by stating they have only succeeded in re-opening the wound that is killing their friend by interfering with the natural clotting mechanisms of the body. In this manner he launches his essay, in fact an appeal, for the introduction and ready availability of tourniquets for combat soldiers. The essay considers the proper application of tourniquets and the consequences of this stop-gap procedure. In the course of the paper he cites and quotes a letter his son sent from the battlefield. Accompanying the manuscript are three sheets from the printed version with additional holograph corrections (extensive) in Mott's hand. Known for his aggressive and pioneering approach to surgery Mott was the perfect choice for this subject. It is written for the battle front with the aim of bringing immediate aid to men who were certain to die if left alone or to ill defined care. It presents a course of action in order to prolong life for the surgeon. An important and at times poignant manuscript written by one of the authorities of American medicine. See DAB XIII, 290 - 291; G - M for the author's numerous entries.
