Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Greywood Publishing, Winnipeg, MB, CAN. 1967. Softcover/Mass Market Paperback. Greywood 103 75¢. Stated First Printing August 1967.

Dr. Stanley graduated medical school and went to work at San Quentin as a prison doctor in 1913 and stayed until retirement in 1951. In this fascinating book of tales from prison, the author writes of the murderers, sex perverts, maniacs, thieves, and celebrities he encountered as chief surgeon of San Quentin. Case histories are woven into discussions of such serious topics as capital punishment and abortion, and such humorous sidelights as his popular "neurosis eradicator", a weird assortment of bottles filled with coloured water and wires running to nowhere. An entire chapter is devoted to a unique intervention with the notorious "Bluebeard" Watson, in which the wife killer explains how he felt while he murdered women. A clean very presentable and rare copy. Signed by Author(s).

Condizione sovraccoperta: dj. First edition. Sharp copy of this disturbing firsthand accountby the chief surgeon of San Quentin, detailing his experiences with criminal pathology and prison medical experiments, including early endocrine and transplant procedures.Notably, Stanley details his controversial glandular experiments, including testicular transplants?sometimes employing animal donors?in pursuit of altering behavior and vitality among inmates.Underlying these experiments is a clear engagement with early 20th-century eugenics, as Stanley sought to address criminality through biological intervention. The letter laid in thanks Ms. Dufour for her favorable review, and chillingly offers: "When you are up this way I would be very happy to show you through our Hospital in order that you may see through your own eyes just what we are doing," A deeply unsettling work, Stanley?s legacy is now inseparable from controversy, his experiments marking the outer edge of early modern medical ambition and the treatment of prisoners. 8vo, 322pp. Frontis, few photo plates. Original green cloth boards lettered in gilt in illustrated jacket. Few smudges to boards, jacket with light use at spine ends. Near fine. Laid in is a typed letter signed on San Quentin letterhead from Stanley to Miss Wilna Dufour of the San Jose Mercury Herald thanking her for her review, which is clipped and attached to the front pastedown.
