About this Item

This is a collection of approximately 150 clipped articles on 380pp over four scrapbooks--all are from 1887. 9.5 x 8 inches. With the name 'Dr. Rohe' in manuscript on each volume, two of which are stamped 'Annual of the Univ. Medical Sciences/1632 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia'. Original paper wrappers are detached and very rough; the paper and the clipped articles are in VG condition. There articles are clips from journals or newspapers, with the climate/medical material being cut away from the original source. Occasionally there are more full clips of entire articles, though sometimes the clip is just a paragraph. That said, all together this is a fascinating exploration of health and treatment resorts at the end of the 19th c. __+__ Some of the spas and discussions of the locale's benefit for consumptives and such include San Siego, Grand Canary, Plymouth (UK), Aiken SC, Thomasville GA., El Paso, Albuquerque, Carlsbad, Scarborough, Catalina Island, British Guiana, Crimea, Mineral Springs Auvergne, Pasadena CA., Coronado, Colorado Springs, Beaumont CA, West Indies, Ventura City, Hot Springs Arkansas, Tangier, Aix-en_Savoie, Point Pine-Los FL, Nam-Dinh on the Red River, Boston CO., 'Climate and Health Resorts of California', and many others. __+__ I wonder if this 'Dr. Rohe' is 'Dr. George H. Rohe' of Baltimore, who was very active in the preventative and health maintenance field? [Please write for more full details.].
