Book is tight, square and unmarked. Book ConditionVG+; slight wear to head, heel and tips from shelving; slightly browned spine. No DJ. Olive green buckram boards with gold gilt lettering in black stamped background. 495 pp. Book by a physician who graduated in 1850 from Jefferson Medical School in Philadelphia and specialized in "neurology". Made a reputation treating Civil War soldiers with rest therapy. Writer of medical and medical based fiction. In this book, through the novel¿s protagonist, an archetypically virtuous physician, and the antagonist, a cunning woman looking to con her way into a life of ease, Mitchell expresses a concern for exposing malingering and fakery that echoes his work in an Army hospital during the Civil War, his ¿Rest Cure¿ treatment of nervous and hysterical women, and the policy debates among social reformers about how to identify and treat charity frauds and the chronically idle. A very clean and presentable copy.
