Offered here is a vintage 1879 first edition of a TOUR DE FORCE of Gastroenterology from the AGE OF INNOCENCE. Although this precedes Dr. Boas's exhaustive research that earned him the title of the Father of Gastroenterology by 15 years or so, this book is a FASCINATING read and provides an unusual glimpse into the specialty in its infancy:
Diseases Of The Intestines And Peritoneum, by John Syer Bristowe, et al, New York: William Wood & Company, 1879, First edition, 243 pages with illustrations. Nice tight copy in early format of "Wood's Library Of Standard Medical Authors" embossed cloth covers. Binding shows some wear here and there but still quite bright - internally the book is very good. A wonderful time capsule of Victorian Age medicine.
In Dr. Bristowe 1849 he was house surgeon at St. Thomas's Hospital, and in the
following year he was appointed curator of the museum and pathologist to
the hospital. He was elected assistant physician in 1854, and during
the next few years he held several teaching posts, being appointed
lecturer on botany in 1859, on materia medica in 1860, on general
anatomy and physiology in 1865, on pathology in 1870. In 1860 he was
elected full physician, and in 1876 he became lecturer on medicine, a
post which he held until his retirement in 1892, when he became
consulting physician to the hospital.
He served many important
offices at the Royal College of Physicians. Elected a fellow in 1858, he
was an examiner in medicine in 1869 and 1870. In 1872 he was Croonian
lecturer, choosing for his subject 'Disease and its Medical Treatment;'
in 1879 he was Lumleian lecturer on 'The Pathological Relations of Voice
and Speech.' He was censor in 1876, 1886, 1887, 1888, and senior censor
in 1889. He was examiner in medicine at the universities of Oxford and
London, at the Royal College of Surgeons, and at the war office.
In 1881 he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society, and the honorary
degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him at the tercentenary of the
Edinburgh University in 1884. He was president of the Pathological
Society of London in 1885, of the Neurological Society in 1891, and of
the Medical Society of London in 1893. In this year he delivered the
Lettsomian lectures on 'Syphilitic Affections of the Nervous System.' In 1887 his term of office as physician to
St. Thomas's Hospital having expired, he was appointed for a further
term of five years at the unanimous request of his colleagues.
