The Wedding Night, Ida C. Craddock, Paul Royster , Editor

Zea E-Books in American Studies

Ida Craddock took her own life in October 1902, rather than face the 5-year federal prison term she seemed certain to receive following her conviction for distributing this work through the U.S. Mail. It is a short (24-page) pamphlet addressed to young women and men about to embark on a sexual relationship and an honest and frank effort to alleviate the ignorance which both sexes often brought to the marriage union.

Osteopathy Complete, Elmer De Vergne Barber

Classic Osteopathic Medical Works

The human system is, to all intents and purposes, a wonderful machine, capable of running for an indefinite period of time, unless interfered with by accidents, dislocations, contraction of muscles, obstruction of the nerve-force, or the circulation of the nutritive fluids of the body. The author consulted such works as Gx'ay, Landois, Saunders, and Musser, with an earnest desire to advance the cause of Osteopathy, and endeavored to be accurate, concise, and modern.

Osteopathy: The New Science Of Healing, Elmer De Vergne Barber

Classic Osteopathic Medical Works

This author knew that Osteopathy was destined to revolutionize the medical world and aims to reach the masses. While Barber gives Dr. Still credit for the new science which he discovered, he differs with him as to the true cause of the results reached by the Osteopath. Barber states that the true cause of all disease may be traced to some muscle which has contracted and for some unaccountable reason has failed to relax, thus interfering with all the forces of life.

Two Obstetrical Heresies, Silas F. Starley

Texas Medical History E-Books

Dr. Silas F. Starley deplores what he considered errors generally taught and accepted in the late 19th century in Two Obstetrical Heresies . “The first is the part that membranes containing the amniotic fluid and the foetus play in effecting dilation of the os uteri in the first stage of labor.The second is the supposed necessity for waiting for their rupture and the escape of the waters before applying the forceps, in every case, without exception.”

Silas F. Starley (1823-1887) was born in Alabama and moved to Texas with his family in 1837. He graduated from the University of Louisville …
