Contact seller5-star sellerA landmark early work on the clinical and practical application of penicillin, issued in 1946 under the general editorship of Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of the antibiotic. Published at a pivotal moment just after World War II, this volume consolidates the rapidly expanding knowledge surrounding penicillinâs therapeuti…c use, production, and clinical outcomes. It includes detailed discussions of bacteriology, dosage, manufacturing techniques, and case studies demonstrating the transformative impact of antibiotics on previously life-threatening infections. The work reflects the transition of penicillin from experimental substance to widespread medical breakthrough. Of particular note, this copy is accompanied by a typed letter signed by Alexander Fleming, dated April 11, 1945, on St. Maryâs Hospital letterhead. In the letter, Fleming discusses early trials of penicillin in arthritis cases, noting limited success and the constraints of supply at the timeâ"an exceptionally candid and historically important commentary from the period of early clinical use. Such direct correspondence from Fleming, especially relating to treatment limitations and expectations, significantly enhances the importance and desirability of this volume, elevating it from a standard medical text to a compelling association copy tied directly to the history of modern medicine. Condition & Binding:ÂOriginal publisherâs green cloth binding with gilt lettering to spine. Binding remains sound with moderate general wear, including rubbing to extremities, slight fading, and light fraying at spine ends. Internally, pages are clean with mild toning and occasional light spotting. Illustrations and photographic plates throughout. The signed Fleming letter is loosely inserted and in very good condition, with light age toning and minor handling wear. Overall- very good.

Near-contemporary full calf, black morocco spine labels, titled in gilt. Marbled endpapers. First edition of the first major work on penicillin made widely available outside of medical jour…nals, signed by its Nobel-laureate author and dated 18 June 1947. - Alexander Fleming (1881-1955) was co-awarded the 1945 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discovery of penicillin. This work was decades in the making, and the true scale of the use of penicillin and similar antibiotics failed to gain real traction among the medical community until the Second World War. The publication of this book in 1946 was meant to introduce medical professionals to the powerful new drug, which was becoming widely available for the first time. - In excellent condition, appealingly bound. - With the library stamp of Beecham Research Laboratories, one of the first major distributors of pencillin, dated 30 Dec. 1946, on the front free endpaper. An additional ownership inscription appears to have been erased.

Add to basketLondon, Buttewrworth & Co. (Publishers), Ltd. Bell Yard, Temple Bar, July 1946, 8°, X, 380 pp., 59 Abbildungen, orig. Leinenband. First edition, first issue of the first printing of "the only book that Fleming prepared regarding his discovery of the antibiotic properties of penicillin". Norman Alexander Fleming made his discover…y in 1928 and published his earliest paper on penicillin in 1929. But the substance was difficult to purify, and did not become available in large quantities until Howard Florey and Ernest Chain successfully mass-produced it at the beginning of the Second World War. It was during this conflict that penicillin proved its worth, successfully treating hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers. This volume was published shortly after the war in the expectation that penicillin would soon be available commercially, but "there was not yet an authoritative British book for the guidance of the practitioner in its use" (preface). It contains an introduction by Fleming on his discovery of penicillin and 26 other essays on the history, manufacture, and clinical use of the drug by "experienced and eminent men" who were among the earliest to experiment with and prescribe it. A key work on the most significant medical breakthrough of the 20th-century, published while the therapy was still "very young and rapidly evolving". preface Printing and the Mind of Man 420; Garrison-Morton No.1933; Norman Libr. No. 800.
