Scarce Antique Book, W. Isbister & Co.
This fascinating 1874 health manual by Edward Smith, M.D., covers a wide range of essential topics for Victorian-era families and educators. From solid and liquid food guides to physiology, exercise, sleep, hygiene, atmospheric conditions, and even mental health and contagious diseases, the book offers a surprisingly broad—and still intriguing—look at 19th-century public health. Includes anatomical illustrations and chapters on food science, cleanliness, housing ventilation, and personal conduct. A compelling and scarce example of early health education written for everyday use, reflecting both the science and values of its time.
