Binding tight; tissue guard over the frontispiece intact; pages mildly toned (consistent with 1928 paper) but otherwise clean and unmarked throughout.A cooperative treatise edited by Julius Stieglitz (Professor of Chemistry, University of Chicago) and published by the Chemical Foundation as a programmatic survey of the contributions of chemistry to medicine, written for general readers as well as practitioners. The book was occasioned by the death of Patricia Garvan, the young daughter of Francis P. Garvan (then president of the Chemical Foundation), from rheumatic fever; it is dedicated "to the welfare of your children and your children's children," and the frontispiece carries her portrait under the caption "May the memory of lost children urge us on." Thirty-five chapters by working researchers cover heredity, the discovery of the vitamins, the dietary diseases (rickets, scurvy, pellagra, beri-beri), the endocrine system and the discovery of insulin, public sanitation and food and water safety, industrial poisoning, anesthesia, and the chemical warfare against malaria, tuberculosis, syphilis, hookworm, leprosy, and amebic dysentery. Notable contributors include Joseph Goldberger (pellagra), E. V. McCollum (vitamins), J. J. R. Macleod (insulin; Nobel laureate 1923), Edward C. Kendall (thyroxine; Nobel laureate 1950), Alice Hamilton (industrial poisoning; first woman appointed to the Harvard medical faculty), Roger Adams (chemotherapy for leprosy), and David Marine (iodine and goiter). A useful snapshot of American biomedical science exactly when much of it was first cohering.Contents: Foreword; I.
