Vitalogy - An Encyclopedia Of Health And Home
By E.H. Ruddock
Published by Vitalogy Association: Chicago, Illinois 1927
Illustrated With Manikins (Natural Colors) Colored and Half-Tone Plates

"The 1927 edition of Vitalogy: An Encyclopedia of Health and Home by Dr. E.H. Ruddock and George P. Wood is a comprehensive guide designed for household use, offering insights into maintaining health and well-being. This edition, encompassing over 1,000 pages, covers a wide array of topics including anatomy, diseases, herbal remedies, and moral advice for the home. It reflects the early 20th-century emphasis on self-reliance in health matters, providing practical advice for families to manage common ailments and promote overall wellness. The book's holistic approach integrates physical health with moral and hygienic guidance, aiming to serve as a complete reference for the household.

Notably, the 1927 edition was sold by subscription only, a common practice for substantial reference works of that era. It features detailed illustrations, including anatomical diagrams and colored plates, to enhance understanding of medical concepts. The content reflects the medical knowledge and societal norms of the time, offering a window into the historical context of health and home management. While some advice may be outdated by modern standards, Vitalogy remains a significant artifact, illustrating the evolution of health education and the value placed on accessible medical knowledge in the early 20th century.
