Observacion Chirurgico-Medica de un Hidro-Sarcocele, o Tumor Scirroso en Testiculo con Kiste, o Saco, Lleno de Pus en el Escroto

[Mexico City]: Oficina de Dona Maria Fernandez de Jauregui, 1814. Still very good.. 39pp. Contemporary plain paper wrappers. Several wormholes neatly straight through text, some slight worming in margins. Minor wear and soiling. "A day by day case report of the lengthy but successful drainage of a hydrosarcocele [swollen testes]...it includes an account of the preliminary attempts at a medical cure, and the conferences of physicians headed by Rafael Sagaz. Verses by the grateful and rejuvenated patient, Jose Florencio de Mora Palacios, a householder merchant, close the account" -- Wellcome Catalogue. Medina calls for a portrait, but this is believed to be a ghost as it is not found in the copies at the Wellcome, Huntington, the Bancroft, or the National Library of Medicine. A scarce and rather grim Mexican medical work, with only a handful of copies in OCLC.
