This article sheds new light on the depth and breadth of the Royal Navy's partnership with private care providers in one English town, Portsmouth, during the second Anglo-Dutch war (1664–67), by paying special attention to the role of landladies. We also re-examine why naval health care in England was transformed from a system based on numerous town quarters to one reliant upon a handful of private contract hospitals. A key factor in the change was naval medical officials' unwillingness to partner with landladies, because the officials identified landladies with the main failings of the town quartering system. Dishonest landladies, it was argued, promoted disorders among sick and injured seamen to the detriment of the navy. Naval health care in England was centralised at the beginning of the eighteenth century, therefore, for both medical-instrumental and moral reasons.

The early modern rise of syphilis provoked similar anxieties to those that more recently accompanied the global spread of HIV/AIDS. It also stimulated global demand for remedies. I discuss one of the most popular, known as ‘China root’ and usually identified with various species of Smilax. The drug and instructions for its use were spread westward from China by traders of all nationalities from 1535 onwards. Demand became global before being largely replaced in Europe by supplies of various American Smilax species, known collectively as ‘Sarsaparilla’. I examine the economic, political and cultural dynamics of this process and draw from them some conclusions about the early modern drugs trade and its effects on medical thought.

This paper discusses the surgical reconstruction of the nose in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This procedure was most prominently detailed by the Bolognese surgeon Gaspare Tagliacozzi in De curtorum chirurgia per insitionem libri duo (Venice: 1597), and he became synonymous with the operation. Histories of plastic surgery currently state that after Tagliacozzi's death in 1599, his procedure disappeared from medical knowledge. I demonstrate that this was not the case through a thorough book history of an English translation of De curtorum chirurgia published in London in 1687 and 1696 that was attached to the collected works of the Scottish surgeon Alexander Read. In the seventeenth century, the disfigured nose became associated with the effects of syphilis and its mercury treatment, and I examine this relationship in order to account for rhinoplasty's stigmatization, and medical resistance to using the procedure that led to its alleged disappearance in the period.
