| | Abstract: | Eight copies of holograph letters; part of a series to teachers of Eskimo children in the Alaska School Service,
Northwestern District, from Dr. Neuman, and dated 1911 to 1912. The first letter says that the purpose is to instruct them on
medical matters supplementary to his book. Symptoms and treatments of diseases like respiratory illness, rickets, measles, scarlet
fever, eye diseases, and fevers are discussed. Certain local living conditions are cited as contributing toward the illnesses.
Three of the letters contain general diagnostic techniques for use with children. Colored pencil illustrations are included in
some of the letters. | |
