RARE The Practice of Medicine THomas Tanner 1866 1st AM ED Antique Medical Book

  
Title: The Practice of Medicine. This is a very rare "holy grail" type book for medicine. A unique and awesome gift for a doctor. This book is full of fascinating, ridiculous, and terrifying medical advice; some of which is still used today. Author: Thomas Hawkes Tanner MD.

Pub date: 1866, First American Edition. Measures 6 x 9 x 3. Condition: Please see detailed pictures. Condition is consistent with expected for a 150+ year old book.

Covers have notable wear but are attached, the front cover is loose at the bottom. Cover corners and spine edges with bumping. Binding tight and together, all pages intact. Last page has a crease. The only stray writing is the prior owner's name on the first page and initials on the title page. Pages have some mottling and a few stains throughout the text, but all text is legible. Would make a great gift for a professor or student!
