Softcover. Condition: Very Good Condition. First Edition. Small journal (ca. 4 1/8" x 3 1/4") 6pp each. Apparently a sort of zine published by James B. Ayer and M.B. Stone out of the Ayer house at 518 Beacon St. Each issue has a historical or journalistic fact about Boston then riddles or jokes, a number of issues have an announcement for a fair held in aid of the Home for Aged Colored Women, 27 Myrtle St., at 518 Beacon St. or. Cost was 1 cent per week or 2 cents by post. In issue 10 they announce issue 14 as the last (because of the end of the school year - Ayer was 12 at the time and either just starting or about to start at Roxbury Latin School). Ayer's parents had recently built the house (still standing) at 518 Beacon. He was a physician from a line of Boston physicians and Ayer Jr. later went to Harvard and became a distinguished neurologist himself. He was also a rower of no mean skill - a real Boston character, apparently. Likely printed on a small format tabletop press - probably something like a Kelsey or other novelty press. 7 issues numbered 7-14. Some stamped as if they were Ayer's file copies. Reporting on: Issue 10, April 1895 has facts about Boston Common and then a short cut for Beacon Hill Issue 9 describes the meeting of the Boston Athletics Association at Mechanics Hall and issue 13 the annual Dog Show at Mechanics Hall. Issue 14 describes the work on the subway: "they have already dug down quite a depth yet hardly anything has been done on the common except dig up the bones of the people in the Granery.and cut down some fine trees on Tremont St. mall." 14 also described the tearing down of the old Bulfinch State House "going on rapidly or slowly which ever you please" (this was an expansion begun in 1889 and finished n 1899). An interesting look at Boston from the viewpoint of a pair of school boys and their amateur press - it's uncertain who M.B. Stone was, but a young man of the right age attended Hopkinson Latin around this time. Unrecorded. Size: 16mo . Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.

J. Am. Med. Ass., 72. - Chicago, January 18, 1919, 8 pp., orig. self wrappers. Rare Offprint! From the Army Neurosurgical Laboratory, John Hopkins Medical School. "The specific diagnosis of cerebrospinal meningitis depends upon the isolation and identification of the meningococcus from the cerebrospinal fluid. During the World War, spinal punctures usually were performed on all patients with symptoms of meningeal irritation or inflammation; and the diagnosis was based entirely on the bacteriological examination of the spinal fluid. Wegeforth and Latham, however, warned against the indiscriminate use of spinal puncture as a diagnostic procedure inhuman septicemia, stating that the release of spinal fluid was an important factor in the development of meningitis. This observation was preceded by the investigations of Weed, Wegeforth, Ayer, and Felton, who showed that in animals suffering with an experimentally produced bacteriemia, spinal puncture was invariably followed by meningitis. It was therefore recommended that careful consideration be given to the bacteriological study of the blood before attempting puncture of the spinal canal. However, in spite of the fact that cases were observed in which the spinal fluid obtained at the first puncture was sterile and from later punctures infected, this was usually considered only an indication of the normal progress of the infection; and it was quite generally believed that diagnostic spinal puncture in meningitis was not attended by any serious results." COLONEL JOSEPH H. FORD, AMEDD Center of History & Heritage Lewis Hill Weed "was born in Cleveland} Ohio. He received his B.A. in 1908 and his M.A. in 1909; both from Yale University; and his M.D. in 1912 from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. After his graduation from medical school; Weed served two years as Arthur Tracy Cabot Fellow in charge of surgical research at Harvard University; under his former professor Harvey Cushing. In 1914; he returned to Johns Hopkins as instructor of anatomy in the school of medicine; in 1919; he was named head of the department. Weed served as dean of the school of medicine from 1923 until 1929; and as director of the medical school until 1946. In 1939; Weed was appointed chairman of the Division of Medical Sciences of the National Research Council. In 1947; he resigned his Johns Hopkins posts in order to devote more attention to this position. Weed's research dealt largely with cerebrospinal fluid and with the development of the membranes that surround the central nervous system. He discovered the origin of the cerebrospinal fluid and mapped out its circulation; an accomplishment which led to a number of important clinical developments." Lewis H.
