1928 Ninth Revised Edition — A Pocket Medical Dictionary by George M. Gould

Description

A Pocket Medical Dictionary by George M. Gould
Ninth Revised Edition — Published in 1928 by P. Blakiston’s Son & Co., Philadelphia
This compact and highly detailed reference, subtitled 40000 Medical Words: Pronounced and Defined, was compiled by George M. Gould — physician, editor, and notable medical lexicographer.

 

Flexible black leatherette-style binding (likely leather or leatherette), bendable panels
Smaller format — approximately 6.5 x 4.25 inches (typical of pocket dictionaries from this era)

The title page outlines its full scope:
A Pocket Medical Dictionary Giving the Pronunciation and Definition of the Principal Words used in Medicine and the Collateral Sciences… including a complete table of the Arteries, Muscles, Nerves, Bacteria, Bacilli, Micrococci, Spirilla, Thermometric Scales, and a revised dose-list of drugs and their incompatibilities, in both English and Metric systems… also includes a revised veterinary dose table.

Based on the Tenth Revision of the U.S. Pharmacopoeia, this dictionary was a compact companion for medical professionals and students in the early 20th century — offering concise yet comprehensive access to thousands of medical terms and pharmaceutical details.

The book remains securely bound, with clean interior pages. The only marking is the previous owner’s name handwritten on the front free endpaper and pre-title page.

An informative and practical reference — and a historical artifact reflecting the language, structure, and scope of medical knowledge in the late 1920s.
