Item description from seller

8vo. xiv, [2], 15-462 pp. Frontis. portrait, 6 tables, 6 charts, index. Green gilt-stamped cloth; extremities a tad worn, rear joint mended. Owner's inked signature (on 3 pages), "Ernest W. Willetts 6-28-05". Good. Translated by Achilles Rose (1839-1916). Originally published as, Arzt Contra Bacteriologe, Vienna, 1902. Rosenbach wrote many essays for the medical journals, this being the last of many other books he contributed. Nonetheless here he was erroneously taking a poor position, "controversially, he opposed the bacteriology ideas, arguing that there was lacking evidence that microorganisms were part of the aetiology of certain diseases". PROVENANCE: Ernest Ward Willetts (1897-1965) was a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, and a member of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists, American Medical Association, Association of American Bacteriologists, and Vice-president of the Medical Society for the State of Pennsylvania. At one point in his career he also served as the President of the Allegheny County Medical Society and as the President of the Pittsburgh Academy of Medicine. He was also the author of several medical related studies that were academically recognized during his career. Ernest wrote papers on tetanus, bacteria of rheumatic fever, and the Swift-Ellis treatment of cerebro-spinal syphilis.
