Antique Medical Instruments, by Keith Wilbur, M.D.. 156 Pages. Softbound. This book, with its carefully drawn illustrations and precise hand lettered text, will be a beautiful addition to the libraries of historians, medical professionals, and collectors. A wide range of antique medical instruments, both diagnostic and therapeutic, are examined in detail. Microscopes, reflex hammers, stethoscopes, blood pressure instruments, electro cardiographs, ophthalmoscopes, otoscopes, endoscopes, vaginal specula, thermometers, etc. are decribed from the most early example to the present. Superb line drawings by the author illustrate this essential reference. The indices within include an insightful price guide and a listing of American Dental, Medical, and Apothecary Museums, each of which is more than worth the price of this book. $23.95 (BK-0230) |
