Near fine condition. "Modern medical services first became available in the Arabian Gulf region during the last decade of the nineteenth century. These were conducted by pioneer missionaries of the Reformed Church in America, who first settled in Basra at the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Both there and elsewhere as these men and women traveled about the Gulf, they offered simple treatments and basic medications to those who sought their assistance. In time, physicians and nurses were recruited for the sake of establishing permanent services in the different locations occupied by the Reformed Church's Arabian Mission. … In Bahrain the American Mission Hospital continues to serve local residents with the technology… Read More

Description:
(London: H. K. Lewis, 1895). 8vo; original blue cloth, blocked in blind, with gilt device to upper cover; all edges gilt; pp. 103 + (iii). Cloth somewhat rubbed; backstrip sunned, and frayed at head; binding slack and hinges starting; earlier owner's name pencilled on title page; foxed throughout, quite severely so in places. "Apart from all specific instructions, there are noticeable in the book a high sense of justice, an element of dignity and self-respect, and a general sentiment of affection for all that is best in medical life and character, which combine to make it excellent reading. There is something stately and old-fashioned in the diction which well suits the subject, and adds to rather than detracts from the impressiveness and authority of the text. It is a book to be treasured for its own sake, and there is no one who will not feel strengthened by reading it, or, who having read it, will not put it in a handy place on his book-shelf for frequent reference, and who will not… Read More

The Boston Globe newspapercomments on Semrad's influence, and his belief that "failure in love brings people to [the psychiatrist] and only some success in love will send them away again." The genius of Elvin Semrad "bloomed in personal situations: when he sat with a patient, a student, or a group, made heart to heart contact, and shared an occasional comment. This is the Semrad remembered, loved, and respected by generations of colleagues and students: Semrad the gifted clinician and teacher." This book is a compendium of Semrad's opinions on such subjects as the body, feeling, love, men and women, leaving home, marriage, work, belief, decision making, etc. .
