About This Item
Philadelphia: Henry B. Ashmead, Book and Job Printer, 1871. First edition. Softcover. Very good. 8vo. pamphlet, stitched as issued. 84pp. followed by 4pp. of advertisements for inebriate asylums and sanitariums. Printed paper wrappers. This pamphlet documents a very early gathering of American physicians who were devoted to investigating the causes of alcoholism and to developing effective treatments. As chairman of the association, Dr. Willard Parker opened with an address that defined alcoholism as a disease that could be cured. "It is the object of this meeting to inquire into the best mode of treating inebriety. " The sessions that followed included a number of essays and papers on the topic as well as decisions on a variety of organizational matters. This is a very scarce item that does not appear in Worldcat. Light soiling to wrappers with a few tiny chips and creasing at the corners. A very good copy.
