Condition: fair to good. 103, wraps, illus., footnotes, biographical index, chapter notes, references, cover edges & spine discolored, some soil rear cover. Edited by Owsei Temkin. This special issue, in memory of William H. Welch, contains articles on "The European Background of the Young Dr. Welch" by Owsei Temkin; "Comments on the Relation of Dr. Welch to the Rise of Microbiology in America" by Barnett Cohen; "Dr. Welch and Medical History" by Richard Harrison Shryock; and "Carl Julius Salomonsen: Reminiscences of the Summer Semester, 1877, at Breslau" translated by C. Lilian Temkin. The two main articles are on "The Historical Relationship between the Concept of Tumor and the Ending-oma" by Harry Keil; and "The Death of President Garfield" by Stewart A. Fish. This last article (pp. 378-392) is the report of a single surgical case (Garfield's death twelve weeks after his fatal injury by a bullet fired from the gun of an insane killer) which gives an excellent view of the status of medicine and surgery in the United States in 1881. The article contains eight drawings of pathological specimens of Garfield's autopsy, and also discusses the medical and mental history of the assassin, Charles J. Guiteau. The "Notes and Comments" section of the journal contains the transcript of a letter written on 8 July 1881 by Simon Newcomb on the possibility of locating President Garfield's bullet through electromagnetism, as well as comments on this letter by Owsei Temkin.
