About the author

Born in Turin, Italy, in 1846, Peter Charles Remondino later built his career in the United States as a physician. He became especially associated with San Diego, where he practiced medicine and wrote on public health and medical topics.

Remondino published several books that reached beyond strictly clinical subjects. His writing explored questions of hygiene, circumcision, sleep, sexuality, and everyday habits, showing a strong interest in how medicine connected with history and social life.

He died in 1926. Today, his books offer a window into the medical thinking and cultural attitudes of his era, especially where science, morality, and daily life overlapped.
