old books

Hi!
Just got a catalog from an antiquarian book collector in the USA.
There are TWO books that might be of interest to those on the list:
1. An Illustrated Repertory of Pains of the Back, Sides, and Chest by
Rollin Gregg.
I have a picture of this work in both my books. It is fascinating,
and useful. The work is a second edition from 1879. Price is $50.
2. Medical Delusions by Worthington Hooker. 1850. First Edition, 105
pages. Listed in Bradford as a prime example of the attack on
homeopathy and "quackery." The same arguments from 1850 are still
being used. The book is in the original binding. $15.
The seller is:
Aequanimtas Medical Books
4736 Braeburn Lane
Macon, GA 31210
(478) 471-6994
