| 520 | _a"The care of the skin and hair : and other general health hints by Morris Fishbein" is a popular medical guide written in the early 20th century. It focuses on practical care of skin and hair, explains scientific treatments and their limits, and cautions readers about cosmetic fads and beauty quackery, while also offering a handful of general health pointers. The book opens by showing how modern medicine treats skin disease—with X-rays, radium, ultraviolet light, surgery, and drugs—while noting conditions that resist cure. It demystifies cosmetics (there is no “skin food”), advises electric needle as the only reliable method for removing superfluous hair, and details hazards from hair dyes and dyed furs, especially paraphenylene-diamine. It chronicles wartime advances in plastic surgery (grafts, tissue transfers, the use of ivory), warns against paraffin injections and “guaranteed” beauty operations, and urges choosing reputable surgeons. Practical sections cover moles and their danger signs, plant and contact rashes (including “lily rash”), frostbite care, boils and hygiene, and the stubborn nature of psoriasis. Brief chapters explain cauliflower and protruding ears and their correction, dismiss rubber “reducers” and medicated or anti-fat chewing gums as useless or risky, and close by advocating moderation in eating after middle life.
