Berlin: Georg Reimer, 1874. First edition.
RARE 1874 FOLIO FIRST EDITION OF LANDMARK DESCRIPTION OF STREPTOCOCCAL WOUND INFECTION BY FOUNDING FATHER OF ABDOMINAL SURGERY.
12x15 inches tall folio, original printed brown paper covered boards with leather spine, gilt title to red leather label, xiv, 244 pp, 1 text illustration, 5 copper plates engraved by Wilhelm Grohmann. Cover edges rubbed and soiled, corners bumped, spine ends frayed, later endpapers, old water stain to lower right corner of preliminary pages, marginal age-toning, text and plates unmarked, overall good+. TEXT IN GERMAN.
THEODOR BILLROTH (1829-1894) was an Austrian surgeon. regarded as the founding father of modern abdominal surgery. Torn between a career as a musician or as a physician, he acceded to his mother's wishes and enrolled himself at the University of Greifswald to study medicine, but gave up the whole of his first term to the study of music; Professor Wilhelm Baum, however, took him with him to Göttingen, and his medical career was fixed. He then followed Professor Baum to the University of Göttingen, and completed his medical doctorate at the Frederick William University of Berlin in 1852. In 1860, Billroth accepted an offer from the University of Zurich to become the Chair of Clinical Surgery, becoming director of the surgical hospital and clinic in Zurich. He was appointed professor of surgery at the University of Vienna in 1867. Though he laid the foundation of his fame at Zurich, it was in Vienna that he established himself as the power that he was in the surgical world. He did not limit himself to surgery only, and conducted extensive research on an ailment that affected many surgery patients at the time: wound fever. His treatise on wound fever, Untersuchungen über die Vegetationsformen von Coccobacteria septica, "Investigations of the Vegetal Forms of Coccobacteria septica," was the first description of streptococcal wound infection. He described these "small organisms (Kettenkokken) as found in either isolated or arranged in pairs, sometimes in chains of four to twenty or more links (Streptococcus; Gr. strepto, a chain, and coccus, a berry)." The importance of streptococci to history came in 1879 when Louis Pasteur isolated the microorganism from the uteruses and blood of women with puerperal fever. Billroth was quick to use antiseptic techniques in his surgical practice, and the number of surgical patients afflicted with wound fever greatly decreased. Billroth was instrumental in establishing the first modern school of thought in surgery. He had radical ideas on surgical training, advocating a prolonged surgical apprenticeship on completion of medical studies consisting of preliminary work in hospitals followed by performing operations on cadavers and experimental animals. This would be followed by a 2-3 year assistantship in a surgical department with studies of the surgical literature and the acquisition of advanced practical skills. William Halsted's pioneer surgical residency program was greatly influenced by Billroth's own methods of surgical education. Billroth was a talented amateur pianist and violinist. He met Brahms in the 1860s, when the composer was a rising star of the Viennese musical scene. They became close friends and shared musical insights. Brahms frequently sent Billroth his original manuscripts in order to get his opinion before publication, and Billroth participated as a musician in trial rehearsals of many of Brahms' chamber works before their first performances. Brahms dedicated his first two string quartets, Opus 51, to Billroth.
WILHELM FRIEDRICH AUGUST GROHMANN (1835-1918) , engraver of the plates, was scientific illustrator for the Imperial Office of Public Health in Berlin.

Suncook, Pembroke, N.H., 1878. 12mo, original russet cloth, gilt title and decorative black stamping on front cover, lower cover with blind-stamped title and ornament. Frontis. portrait engraving, 63 pp., illus. On the morning of October 4, 1875, the beautiful 17-year-old Josie Langmaid did not show up for school. When Pembroke Academy staff notified her family, a search party was assembled. That night the party found her decapitated and violated body in the woods near the school and discovered her head the next morning. Following the initial arrest of innocent parties, the actual murderer was identified as French-Canadian woodcutter Joseph Lapage. Tried and found guilty, he admitted to his crime (as well as a similar murder in Vermont) on March 15th, 1878 and was hung the following day. The town of Pembroke placed a monument to the victim near the murder site, with directions to the sites where her body and head were discovered. Keeler's forty-page poetic eulogy is preceded by a brief account of…
