"Your Chest Pain? Try Less Coffee, Tea, and Tobacco.” — Angina Pectoris, 1929

Harlow Brooks, M.D.
1929 – Harper & Brothers Publishers, New York and London
First Edition

Part of the Harper’s Medical Monographs series intended for practicing physicians.

One of the more interesting sections discusses “toxic angina” caused by excessive tobacco, coffee, and tea use. The author also openly admits the literature on angina was “too rich in explanations and too poor in therapeutic suggestions,” which honestly still sounds familiar nearly a century later.

Stepping away

I'm going to have to step away from FC5 for a bit before I rage quit and break something! I can't seem to get past the rescue Merle mission. What pisses me off is I can't go do something else for a while. I'm locked into that mission.

1836 medicine was absolutely unhinged.

This issue of The Doctor includes:

  • mercury “cure-all” poison powders,
  • hallucinations after childbirth,
  • a surgeon holding a severed artery shut with his fingers,
  • theories that the SUN might be inhabited,
  • and a remedy for a scalded throat involving calomel.

Victorian medical journals were basically equal parts science, philosophy, horror story, and comedy show.

Sins of the father

I can't seem to finish this mission. Apparently there are three fields of Bliss that I need to burn but I can't find the third one. Am I overlooking something. The first two were pretty obvious and I tried to burn all the plants in the greenhouses. The greenhouse plants don't burn but I can't locate the third field to trigger Feeney arriving. Advice?

They Treated Menstrual Disorders with Arsenic — 1888 Medical Text

Title: Disorders of Menstruation
Author: Edward W. Jenks, M.D., LL.D.

This late 19th-century medical monograph provides a clinical overview of menstrual disorders including amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, and menorrhagia.

Therapies described include the use of iodine, arsenic, strychnine, and opiates, along with procedures such as uterine dilation. The volume also contains pharmaceutical advertisements from companies such as Parke, Davis & Co., illustrating early drug standardization and marketing practices.
