More medical scans (Tack pappa!)

I was in Jönköping this weekend and my dad gave me two medical books from 1889, Den Nya Naturläkemetoden I and II. Here are the illustrations that weren’t attached any more and hence very easy to scan. I will scan so much more! They are completely filled with wonderfulness!

Birth.

The Female Genitalia (Notice anything missing?)

medicin9

How the child can be positioned

medicin7

Diseases of the Eye

And another doll! This one is a bit larger and more prudeish than the 20s one. The stomach opens and shows the inside. It has two more parts but they are stuck to the inside of the book and as I said I’ll scan the attached ones another day. There was also a big fold sheet of different body parts and stuff. Dad rules for giving it away! He also had the most amusing book ever, a 19th century book on sex. It had, among other lovely things, a story on a 13 year old boy who masturbated “too much” and that the doctor who was also the writer of the book had prescribed some kind of penis-holder that would keep him from ever touching it. The boy died shortly after “from circumstances of his masturbation addiction” or something like that. On to the doll!

    Jag har några läkarböcker från 50-talet med fotografier i på alla möjliga konstiga sjukdomar, men tror banne mig de med ritade bilder är häftigare. :)
