A Case of Impure Ice Poison. -- such was notably the case in an epidemic of intestinal disorder which occurred at the watering place of Rye Beach N. H. from the account of Dr. Nichols, who attended most of the patients, it seems that, early in the season, a mild form of disturbance of the stomach and bowels made its appearance among the guests of a particular hotel at his favorite summer resort. The symptoms were in general penis, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea and severe abdominal pain, accompanied by fever, loss of appetite and mental depression. The well and drainage system of the establishment, which had recently been put in complete water, was found almost faultless, and the milk supply of unquestionable purity; but on the attention of the physician being directed to the stock of ice provided for the guests, conclusive proof of its dangers quality was promptly obtained.

We are just scratching the surface of our review into the History of the Book of Medicine, literally covering the foundation perspective. As we move more into the diagnosis areas and more we will really start to get to some peculiar aspects of the views from the past.
One thing I’m interested to see and learn is whether or not medical doctors suggested healthy climates. Today, we often see people moving to Florida or Phoenix even for their health. Snow birds from Canada fly south for the winter to escape the cold and get some sun to metabolize vitamin D, escaping to luxurious and inexpensive Orlando vacation rentals selecting condos or villas that are air conditioned but close to all the local attractions.
Its the weather and climate that keep people flocking back, hoping to get a reprieve and at least feel healthier. So I will be keenly interested to learn if this perspective is new.
- VIEW OF THE BASE OF THE CRANIUM – Brain Cavity
today were moving into a new section looking at the base of the cranium. In this section the book is referring to a top-down view of the skull. Illustration is somewhat pale and lacking in details. Nothing in this particular picture is labeled and in a sense the picture only gives the reader a slight point of reference absent the following detail:
Brain Cavity. Here in this remarkable illustration we presented to us one of the most wonderful views the anatomy of this goal, or, in fact, at a part of the human frame. It is a view of the floor of the cranial cavity on which that curious and mysterious, but sublime organ, the brain, rest. The marvelous skill and ingenuity therein display, of the complex mechanism surveyed, the beautiful and intricate manner in which the nerves of special scents are so elaborately set forth, the complicated perfusion and exquisite design manifest in the distribution of blood vessels for the nourishment and support of the special organ of reason and intelligence — all claim our closest and undivided attention, and we are unconsciously led to revere the Omniscience of Him who could conceive of such intricate architecture, and perform such delicate, unique and perfect workmanship. The large opening observed in the floor of the cranial cavity is the foramen magnum, through which the spinal cord, together with the cerebro-spinal nerves, escape.
In this section we once again have a Nonsecular reference of “Omniscience of Him” referring to the God as Creator that designed the base of the cranium in such elaborate detail and perfection, which was then represented in such a lackluster and drab diagram of the same. The section doesn’t so much describe or explain the workings of the brain cavity as it describes the authors extreme level of off at the ability of a god to create this device like structure area.
