Mao’s Bestiary: Medicinal Animals and Modern China
AU$40.00 Read MoreAdd to cartLiz P. Y. Chee
Durham and London: Duke University Press, 2021.“A history of the rising use of “medicinal animals” in modern China. While animal parts and tissue had been present in Chinese medicine from an early date, the book argues that their role in the Chinese pharmacopiea greatly expanded and became systematized in the changed political and economic circumstances of the early Communist period. Mao’s Bestiary is the first book to place medicinal animals squarely within the historiography of Chinese medicine. In an age of controversy over the ethics and efficacy of faunal medicalization, its perpensity to foster zoonotic diseases and its devastating effect on wildlife conservation in China and worldwide, the book contributes a much-needed historical perspective, explaining the modern origins of what is too casually taken to be traditional practice” (publisher’s blurb)

An Inquiry into the Causes and Effects of the Variolae Vaccinae, a Disease Discovered in some of the Western Countries of England, Particularly Gloucestershire, and Known by the Name of The Cow Pox
AU$3,500.00 Read MoreAdd to cartEdward Jenner
Sydney: Thomas Richards, Government Printer, 1884.The 1884 Australian reprint of one of the seminal works of medicine, Edward Jenner’s pioneering work on the creation of the smallpox vaccine, the world’s first vaccine. Published in the wake of Sydney’s 1881 smallpox outbreak as part of a renewed push in what was a long and unsuccessful campaign by New South Wales medical practitioners for mandatory vaccination, when by 1860, Queensland and New South Wales were the only Australian colonies not to have enacted such legislation. Reprinted from Australian physician George Bennett’s copy of the Second Edition published by Sampson Low in 1800 and containing the second and third parts, while stated in the preface (likely penned by John Creed) to be “a perfect fac simile”, differs from the original edition in that it is “printed in a later and slightly larger type, in which the old “s” form does not appear. The half-title is omitted, and the title page, though a fairly close reproduction of the original, bears in small type a job number of the local printer. On the reverse of the title, blank in the original, appears “Reprinted by Authority: Thomas Richards, Government Printer, Sydney, 1884. A preface occupying a single page is inserted, and this, with the differences in type, alter the pagination. As in the original, a second part “A Continuation of Facts and Observations Relative to the Variolae Vaccinae”, with its own half-title and title pages, is included. The four coloured engravings are well reproduced in lithograph, the artist’s and engraver’s names being omitted. The text has been corrected from the errata page of the original, which is not included.” (The Sydney Reprint of Jenner’s Inquiry, Edward Ford, FERGUSON 10930, FORD 1052)

Backwoods Surgery & Medicine
AU$10.00 Read MoreAdd to cartCharles Stuart Moody
Olympia: Last Word Press, No date.Backwoods Surgery & Medicine, written a century ago, contains much relevant knowledge for how to treat the most common injuries, as well as more serious threats to life found in backcountry travel. Minor and compound fractures of limbs, bites from frost and snake, lions and tigers and bears, Moody describes the simplest methods of dealing with injuries in a clear, if archaic voice. Your great-grand-father probably read this book and saved your grandfather during a camping trip in the summer of 1923, thus resulting in your birth and the ability to read these pages now a century later.
