Description:
First edition, second printing, Verona, 1770. This enlightened physician correctly recommended citrus for treatment of scurvy. Little noticed then and now as his name is nearly forgotten. A very rare item. I do not locate any translation in English. WorldCat locates 3 copies. See OCLC: 14316323; 869038856. Pamphlet bound in modern grey boards, title on spine.

Notes: Recognition of scurvy on sea voyages was noted in the 15th century and correct treatment identified in 16th century. The majority medical establishment ignored the knowledge of observant sailors for the next 200 years. This text…

Redlands, California: Pure Gold, [1955]. Stapled wraps. Very good. [12p.] Small chips to wrap edges. The Mutual Orange Distributors (MOD) was founded in Redlands, California, in 1906 as a cooperative marketing association representing citrus growers in California. Within a few years, the coop included citrus growers in western Arizona. In 1955, MOD changed its name to Pure Gold, originally the brand name for fruit grown by the approximately 2,500 MOD growers. Sunkist took over the Pure Gold trademark when the co-op closed in 1987 due to housing developments replacing the citrus fields and the shrinking number of packing plants. This booklet explains the history of the citrus-growing culture in California and Arizona and provides information on the variety of oranges, lemons, and grapefruit grown and their cultivation and packaging. A map on the back shows the regions represented by the Pure Gold cooperative. Scarce, none located in OCLC. B&w illustrations and halftone photographs. (11"x8-1/2")

There he was influenced by Johann Gustav Droysen and Johann Kaspar Bluntschli, the latter also becoming his mentor. Heidelberg did not then require a thesis from its doctoral candidates, instead it required an oral examination, for which he chose political science for his major field (Hauptfach), with two minors… Read More
