20 cm. 1018 pp. + frontispiece portrait of the author and 5 colored plates showing diseases of the skin, uterine lesions, and other afflictions. Index, pp. 1009-18. Numerous illustrations in the text. Four-page "Application for Treatment" form folded and bound in between pp. 984-85, at the section of the book entitled "CONSULTATIONS BY LETTER," including brief portions for gentlemen only ("Are the emissions the result of masturbation (self-abuse) or excessive sexual intercourse, or both?"), or for ladies only. Recommendations of the press, pp. 990-1000. Warning (pp. 1001-1007) against swindlers preying upon Dr. Pierce's patients arriving from out of town: "Buffalo Depots Swarming with CONFIDENCE MEN. How they attempt to swindle Doctor Pierce's Patients, as Revealed by a Detective Placed on their Track. . . ." Preface dated Buffalo, July 1875. Original brown cloth, rather dull and with medium wear to extremities; head of spine scrunched down a bit. Internally very good. $85 OCLC seems to show this work appearing in waves: first in 1875 with various re-issues, followed in prominence by the 1895 version (offered below, item 84), and scattered later editions 1907-26, with a few in between. 88
MASTURBATION, pp. 291, 748-52 (women); 816-35. For more about this work, see the 1895 edition described below. There were evidently substantial changes in later editions, and the text was certainly reorganized and rearranged to a considerable extent. Perhaps one of the most striking differences is that the later edition is occupied with so many private testimonials, with the patients' photographs – not present in this earlier version. However, on page 834 here appears an illustration which is so outlandish that - for whatever reason - it did not appear in the later version of this book offered below. It purports to give an absolutely accurate view of the amazing recovery of a badly debilitated masturbator within a period of less than one year; judge for yourself (REPRODUCED ABOVE). "The two pictures of this man," ostensibly, "taken only eight months apart, show not only to what a sad and physically wrecked condition spermatorrhoea will reduce a man, but also what wonderful restorative results can confidently be expected from scientific and skillfully applied treatment." (p. 835) 84 [another edition] PIERCE, Ray Vaughn. THE PEOPLE'S COMMON SENSE MEDICAL ADVISER in Plain English; Or, MEDICINE SIMPLIFIED, By Ray Vaughn Pierce, M.D., Chief Consulting Physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute and President of the World's Dispensary Medical Association. Thirty-First Edition. 745th Thousand. Carefully Revised. Chicago and New York: F. Tennyson Neely, Publisher, [c. 1895]. 19½ cm. 1008 pp. + frontispiece portrait of the author and 3 colored plates showing diseases of the skin, on glossy paper. Vocabulary, pp. 979-89; indices, pp. 993-1008. Numerous illustrations in the text, including many photographs of patients with their recommendations, in various categories of treatment. "Preface to the Present Edition," p. 5, dated Buffalo, January 1895; "Preface to the First Edition" was Buffalo, July 1875 (pp. 7-8). Report of a high (verbal) recommendation of the author and his hospital, once expressed by the late President Garfield, on p. 973. ORIGINAL PRINTED WRAPPERS. Very good. Some wrapper edge wear and page corner-tip creases, and a small chip from upper wrapper, but in all, surprisingly well preserved for a paper cover on so thick a volume, with the text otherwise nearly fine. $65 No example of this particular "thirty-first edition" is shown by OCLC, but it is only fair to stipulate that there are almost endless entries for this book, in its undoubted many other "editions" and "thousands," appearing in waves: first in 1875 with various re-issues, followed in prominence by this 1895 version, and scattered later editions 1907-26, with a few in between. 89
