MEDICAL CLINIC; OR, REPORTS OF MEDICAL CASES: BY G. ANDRAL, . . . CONDENSED AND TRANSLATED, WITH OBSERVATIONS EXTRACTED FROM THE WRITINGS OF THE MOST DISTINGUISHED MEDICAL AUTHORS: BY D. SPILLAN, M.D. . . . CONTAINING DISEASES OF THE ENCEPHALON, WITH EXTRACTS FROM OLLIVIER'S WORK ON DISEASES OF THE SPINAL CORD AND ITS MEMBANES. Philadelphia: Haswell, Barrington, and Haswell, 1838. Bound with AN ESSAY ON DEW, AND SEVERAL APPEARANCES CONNECTED WITH IT. BY WILLIAM CHARLES WELLS, M.D. Philadelphia: Haswell, Barrington, and Haswell, 1838. Paged as 1-299, [1], 1-71. Hardcover: H 23.25cm x L 14cm. Original quarter leather binding; spine leather dried and darkened with chips at ends and at upper front joint; two worn black labels present but without discernable lettering; marbled paper boards; front board lacking surface leather at its fore-edge corners but with leather still present at rear board corners; some toning and staining to boards as well. Mild bowing to book. Bound without pastedowns with marbled paper just overlapping at the edges and full cardstock exposed. Personal library bookplate of S.F. Hill (Civil War-era Carrollton, Alabama surgeon Dr. Samuel F. Hill) dated for 1860 on front board's verso. Slender horizontal swath of paper removed from front free endpaper; pages 7-8 slightly pulled; moisture staining to early leaves; foxing throughout. Binding is still firm. A Hill family history asserts that Dr. Samuel Felto Hill (1813-1895) was a Confederate Army surgeon but cursory research disproves that claim. It is possible that Hill temporarily participated with a militia unit but the most plausible scenario is that he simply treated ill and injured soldiers as Carrollton was in proximity to Alabama civil war activity in Tuscaloosa and Greensboro as well as being reasonably close to the hospital town of Columbus, Mississippi where thousands of Union and Confederate wounded were transported after the Battle of Shiloh.…
