- Milan: G. Silvestri, 1841
Milan: G. Silvestri, 1841. ONLY EDITION. Original printed wrappers; spine strip worn. Unopened. First and only edition, extremely rare, of this self-published medical guide to bad breath and body odor. It treats perspiration in general, hyperhidrosis, the effect of different clothing materials on odor, odor related to sex and age, and odor in different parts of the body, as well as bad breath related to diet and digestion, oral hygiene, and tobacco use.
A fascinating bibliographical object: apparently at the bottom of a stack of copies when it left the print shop, the imprint lines of the string that bound the pile remain. Paper of a different stock than the printed matter acts as sewing guards, and the rear wrapper and final text leaf are advertisements for the author’s forthcoming translation of a dental manual and a guide to the city of Vienna for Italian travelers.
OCLC locates only 1 other copy worldwide (Univ. of Texas Medical Branch Library).
