[Back Creek Books]

Greetings,

We offer:
~
Physicians' , Dentists' and Druggists' Directory of the New England States.
Chicago-Boston: Galen Gonesir & Co., Publishers, 1892. Octavo, original 
cloth, approx. 300 pages, very good. Interesting reference to New 
England doctors, dentists, and pharmacists at the end of the 19th 
century. Considerable quackery still in evidence in the fascinating 
advertising at front and rear of the volume. Actual contents include 
national codes of ethics for dentists and doctors, list of dentists by 
New England state, sample fee bills for various medical and dental 
treatments ranging from syphilis to gold fillings. The bulk of the 
directory lists the physicians by New England state. And then there are, 
of course, the ads. Bound in a dark teal green pebbled cloth over boards 
with spine titled in gilt. Slight foxing to endpapers, otherwise quite 
bright. Minor extremity rubs. ...$250. Not yet catalogued, photos 
available on request.
