A Treatise on Diseases of the Anus, Rectum, and Pelvic Colon, James Tuttle, 1902

Description: This is an original 1902 hardcover printing of "A Treatise on Diseases of the Anus, Rectum, and Pelvic Colon," a rare medical textbook written by James P. Tuttle, published by D. Appleton and Company, and serving as a great look at old medical knowledge. Lots of detailed and often graphic illustrations supplement the text. This copy was part of a hospital library, as described below. Overall, the copy being offered is in fair condition. As you'll see in my first five photos, the covers have a lot of wear and noticeable staining. Fraying occurs at the top and bottom of the spine, and the spine also has a library sticker with writing on it. Inside, the pages are crisp and largely clean but do contain occasional light smudges & stains, and the page edges also have many gray smudges. Additionally, stamps for the Mercy Hospital Staff Library occur inside both covers (and a personal library stamp on the first page), and the title page contains an embossed stamp for that library, along with a red stamp saying "indexed" and stamps for both a personal library and the Mercy Hospital library. A few other pages also contain library stamps. On the back of the title page is a library notation written with pencil. The instances of writing that I described are the only ones I found while flipping through the book. The binding is a little stiff--especially where the covers attach to it--but remains fairly strong, and the pages are well-bound, but both covers are a little loose from the binding, and a small split occurs in the binding near the back cover (shown in my next-to-last photo).
