Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1929, the historical collection of the University of Otago’s Health Sciences (formerly Medical) Library was established with the donation of the famed Monro Collection. The over 450 volumes were owned by Alexander Monro, father (<em>primus</em>), son (<em>secundus</em>), and grandson (<em>tertius</em>), who were successively Professors of Anatomy at the University of Edinburgh, 1720-1846. <br /><br />Wonderful though the Monro Collection is, it comprises but a fraction of the total Health Sciences Library’s Historical Collections, some 100,000 plus volumes. These include 18th, 19th, and 20th century books and manuscripts, as well as the unique Preventive Medicine Dissertations. This exhibition,<em> Medical Marvels</em>, highlights treasures from this Historical Collection, from pharmacy and phrenology, to dentistry and disease. Of particular note is the anatomical flap book by Johann Remmelin, printed in Holland in 1667; a second edition of Andreas Vesalius’s <em>The Fabric of the Body</em>, printed in 1555; and Bernhard Albinus’s <em>Tables of the Skeleton and Muscles of the Human Body</em>, printed in 1746. <br /><br />Other noteworthy items include works by medicos Edward Jenner, John Hunter, Francis Glisson, Thomas Willis, and William Smellie. For those interested in the history of medicine, the exhibition is a feast. This exhibition reflects scholarly engagement. Many of the books have been chosen by University of Otago academic staff, students, and librarians, who have used the books for their own research. We are particularly indebted to Professor Terence Doyle, Department of Medicine, and Professor Barbara Brookes, History Department. The first is an avid user of the historical collection; the second highlighted the importance of the Preventive Medicine dissertations.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In the 1790s, Edward Jenner discovered that vaccination (vacca = cow in Latin) with pus from Cowpox provided cross-immunity to Smallpox. It met with great controversy, as depicted by James Gillray in this caricature of 1802. The papers in the boy’s pocket (left) read ‘Benefits of the Vaccine’, and he holds a container labelled ‘Vaccine Pock hot from ye Cow’. On the wall is a painting showing the worshippers of the Golden Calf.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘<em>The New Zealand Medical Journal</em> was first printed in Dunedin as a means of communication for "Medical Men in the Colony". It acknowledged New Zealand’s own idiosyncratic advantages and disadvantages that influenced disease, especially in comparison with Australia. Frank Ogston’s article on page 46 details the forensic analysis in the notorious Hall Poisoning Case. Thomas Hall allegedly fatally poisoned his father-in-law and attempted to poison his wife; he was convicted of the latter but escaped the noose in the former, on appeal. The University of Otago Health Sciences Library has perhaps the only complete run of this journal from this, its first volume in September 1887.' Item chosen by Richard German, Health Science Librarian, University of Otago.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
James Gillray (1757-1815) was the originator of the modern political cartoon. He lived above the print shop in London that distributed his work. He favoured social and ideological comment; specialising in mixing the grand with the gross. Here, he is referring to the fact that the gout was supposed to be an affliction of the rich, who overindulged in food and drink (it is not).

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
William Hogarth (1697-1764) was an engraver specialising in satirical comment, and his view of doctors was not flattering. Here, the fictional criminal, Tom Nero’s dead body has been delivered to be anatomised. However, the gouging and cutting appears to no purpose, and the doctors read, talk, and pay no attention at all. This is the fourth of four engravings in a series. In the first, Tom, as a boy, tortures a dog; in the second, as a young man, he beats a horse; in the third, Tom is caught in the act of violent murder. Finally, the dog gets its revenge as it eats Tom’s heart.

‘In 1976, Professor Cyril Dixon, Head of the Department of Preventive and Social Medicine at the University of Otago, handed me this Preventive Medicine Dissertation. I was 21, working on a History dissertation on abortion in the 1930s. Donald McAllister’s dissertation, written in 1942, provided a source I never imagined existed: an interview with a "backstreet" abortionist. Through it, I learnt of the desperation of the mainly married women who would have abortions performed in the back of the abortionist’s car. The abortionist knew his anatomy, about sterilising his implements, (a no.8 gum elastic catheter, slightly modified), and how to protect his identity (by performing his services in the dark). I spoke to Dr McAllister and I was fascinated by his insights into the murky, undercover world of backstreet abortion. I will always be grateful for Dixon’s recommendation of the Preventive Medicine dissertations, which provide unparalleled insights into many aspects of everyday life. McAllister’s work opened up a new world to me. I went on to publish my PhD as <em>Abortion in England, 1900-1967</em> (1988).' This item was chosen by Professor Barbara Brookes, University of Otago

Lorenz (Laurence) Heister (1683-1758) was born in Frankfurt, studied in Giessen and Leiden, spent some time as a field surgeon in the Dutch army, and at the age of 27 became Professor of Anatomy and Surgery at the University of Altdorf, Germany. First published in German in 1718, his book was considered a standard reference work as late as 1838. Here the patient is having a dislocated shoulder re-located with opposing traction on the arm and chest wall. In the central image, he is secured in a frame to prevent the dislocation from recurring.

Richard Mead (1673-1754) was well qualified in medicine (Leiden and Padua), and was court physician to Queen Anne and George II. A noted figure in Georgian London, he was particularly interested in infection and poisons, presenting papers to the Royal Society of which he was a Fellow. After his death, Mead’s home in Bloomsbury became the foundation of the Great Ormond St. Hospital for Children. Also in the Health Sciences Library’s historical collection is Mead’s <em>On the Influence of the Sun and Moon upon Human Bodies and the Diseases Arising Therefrom</em> (1704). This page refers to the anatomy of vipers.

George Combe (1788-1858) was an Edinburgh lawyer and vigorous proponent of the system of ‘craniology’ that originated with Franz Gall and Johann Spurzheim. The system contended that personality traits, and particularly those leading to deviant behaviour, had specific locations in the brain. Importantly, craniology or ‘phrenology’ promoted the idea that traits could be identified by the measurement and the localisation of surface features of the skull. Combe also suggested that these craniological characteristics were hereditary. This pseudo-science later developed more sinister psychiatric and racial overtones.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1929, the historical collection of the University of Otago’s Health Sciences (formerly Medical) Library was established with the donation of the famed Monro Collection. The over 450 volumes were owned by Alexander Monro, father (<em>primus</em>), son (<em>secundus</em>), and grandson (<em>tertius</em>), who were successively Professors of Anatomy at the University of Edinburgh, 1720-1846. <br /><br />Wonderful though the Monro Collection is, it comprises but a fraction of the total Health Sciences Library’s Historical Collections, some 100,000 plus volumes. These include 18th, 19th, and 20th century books and manuscripts, as well as the unique Preventive Medicine Dissertations. This exhibition,<em> Medical Marvels</em>, highlights treasures from this Historical Collection, from pharmacy and phrenology, to dentistry and disease. Of particular note is the anatomical flap book by Johann Remmelin, printed in Holland in 1667; a second edition of Andreas Vesalius’s <em>The Fabric of the Body</em>, printed in 1555; and Bernhard Albinus’s <em>Tables of the Skeleton and Muscles of the Human Body</em>, printed in 1746. <br /><br />Other noteworthy items include works by medicos Edward Jenner, John Hunter, Francis Glisson, Thomas Willis, and William Smellie. For those interested in the history of medicine, the exhibition is a feast. This exhibition reflects scholarly engagement. Many of the books have been chosen by University of Otago academic staff, students, and librarians, who have used the books for their own research. We are particularly indebted to Professor Terence Doyle, Department of Medicine, and Professor Barbara Brookes, History Department. The first is an avid user of the historical collection; the second highlighted the importance of the Preventive Medicine dissertations.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
John Hunter (1728 -1793) was born on a farm on the outskirts of Glasgow and he had little formal education. Despite this, he became one of the most influential surgeons of the 18th century. In 1748, he moved to London to assist his brother William in anatomical dissection. He also became assistant to William Cheselden and Percival Pott, and later taught Benjamin Bell, Astley Cooper, and Edward Jenner. Hunter was famed for his wide scientific interests and vast collection of anatomical specimens, many now preserved in the Hunterian Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
William Smellie (1697-1763) has been called the ‘Father of British Obstetrics’. After an apprenticeship to an apothecary in Scotland, he went to sea as a surgeon’s mate. Smellie then moved to London and specialised in midwifery. He was a teacher to William Hunter (1718-83), the leading obstetrician of the Georgian period. Smellie was a strong believer in non-interference where possible, and the first to describe resuscitation of the newborn by blowing into its lungs. Here, he is describing the effects of rickets in softening the pelvic bones leading to deformity that can interfere with childbirth.

‘The swelling of the prostrate gland is a common issue for men today and is high on the Government’s health agenda. As is observed by John Hunter over 250 years ago, the swelling obstructs the flow of urine through the urethra; the incidences increase with ageing; and this frequently leads to bladder infection. In this volume, Hunter also discusses anatomical changes caused by the swelling, and suggests treatment methods, including the use of a catheter.' Item chosen by Louisa Baillie, University of Otago

Birmingham physician William Withering (1741-1799) was a keen botanist, geologist, and friend of Erasmus Darwin. Withering investigated the well-known folk remedy of using fox-glove tea to relieve the symptoms of heart failure. He recognised that there was an active ingredient, which he called <em>digitalis</em>. In Case XLII above, where the patient had pulmonary tuberculosis, there was no relief. In another treatment recorded, Case XLIII, Withering had some success.

In 1542, the German physician and botanist, Leonard Fuchs (1501-66), gave the plant foxglove the name <em>digitalis</em>. He thought it looked like a <em>Fingerhu</em>t, or thimble, so he latinized it to <em>digitalis</em>. This perennial is often used to control heart rates. Withering wrote: ‘The leaves – If well dried they readily rub down to a beautiful green powder . . . I give to adults, from one to three grains of this powder twice a day.’

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In this volume, Edward Jenner (1749-1823) gives his pioneering description of ‘vaccination.’ It was well known that milk-maids commonly developed sores of cowpox on their hands; a mild variant of smallpox. As a result, they never contracted smallpox with its usual disfiguring facial scarring. Jenner reasoned that the women had developed cross-immunity. He therefore took pus from the hand of Sarah Nelmes (in this image) and injected it into James Phipps, an eight-year old boy. To prove his theory, Jenner later infected Phipps with smallpox pus. He remained well. Interestingly, ‘vacca’ means ‘cow’ in Latin.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The English title of this volume reads ‘Anatomy of the Liver’, where Glisson attempts to relate anatomy to the Aristotelian theory of the elements, which was based on the elements earth, water, air, and fire. Aristotle added a fifth, aether. Published in 1654, Glisson’s book was the first devoted to the structure and function of the liver. His anatomy is very accurate, describing how the portal vein, bile duct, and hepatic artery branches all stay together forming the ‘portal triad’ as they divide. He also demonstrated what is now known as ‘Glisson’s capsule’ – the surface covering of the liver that surrounds the portal triad as it passes to the interior.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1929, the historical collection of the University of Otago’s Health Sciences (formerly Medical) Library was established with the donation of the famed Monro Collection. The over 450 volumes were owned by Alexander Monro, father (<em>primus</em>), son (<em>secundus</em>), and grandson (<em>tertius</em>), who were successively Professors of Anatomy at the University of Edinburgh, 1720-1846. <br /><br />Wonderful though the Monro Collection is, it comprises but a fraction of the total Health Sciences Library’s Historical Collections, some 100,000 plus volumes. These include 18th, 19th, and 20th century books and manuscripts, as well as the unique Preventive Medicine Dissertations. This exhibition,<em> Medical Marvels</em>, highlights treasures from this Historical Collection, from pharmacy and phrenology, to dentistry and disease. Of particular note is the anatomical flap book by Johann Remmelin, printed in Holland in 1667; a second edition of Andreas Vesalius’s <em>The Fabric of the Body</em>, printed in 1555; and Bernhard Albinus’s <em>Tables of the Skeleton and Muscles of the Human Body</em>, printed in 1746. <br /><br />Other noteworthy items include works by medicos Edward Jenner, John Hunter, Francis Glisson, Thomas Willis, and William Smellie. For those interested in the history of medicine, the exhibition is a feast. This exhibition reflects scholarly engagement. Many of the books have been chosen by University of Otago academic staff, students, and librarians, who have used the books for their own research. We are particularly indebted to Professor Terence Doyle, Department of Medicine, and Professor Barbara Brookes, History Department. The first is an avid user of the historical collection; the second highlighted the importance of the Preventive Medicine dissertations.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘The Monro Collection contains many manuscript lectures written by Alexander Monro <em>primus</em>, <em>secundus</em>, and <em>tertius</em>. This lecture is on <em>bursae</em>, fluid-filled sacs that are part of the anatomy of every moveable (synovial) joint in our body. Here, the<em> bursae</em> of the upper arm (<em>humerus</em>) are described at both the shoulder and elbow. Bernhard Siegfried Albinus (1697–1770) was the first to observe these, but Monro <em>secundus</em> (1733-1817) does point out that Albinus did not observe all<em> bursae</em> present in the body. Monro also comments that the shoulder joint is the most frequently luxated (dislocated) joint, as it still is today, in for example, contact sports like rugby. Clinical anatomists at Otago continue to research <em>bursae</em> using the technologies of ultrasound and MRI.’ This item in chosen by Louisa Baillie, University of Otago

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘Cesare Lombroso (1835-1909) is as familiar a scientific name to Italians as Charles Darwin is to the Anglophone world. Starting in the 1870s, Lombroso made his name by establishing a new scientific field, which he called ‘criminal anthropology’. He published his theories in<em> L’Uomo delinquente</em> (<em>Criminal Man</em>; first edition, 1876). Clearly inspired by Darwin’s notion of evolution, Lombroso argued that criminals were throwbacks, born not made, and always exhibited empirically observable physical abnormalities. Lombroso’s theories appealed because they made the study of crime into an empirical science, as opposed to the abstract philosophy of classical 18th century criminology. It is no surprise then that <em>Criminal Man</em> went through five editions in the author’s lifetime. Lombroso’s theory of ‘the criminal man’ has not stood the test of time, underlining the notion that nearly all brilliant social insights are intrinsically tied to their particular historical context.’ Item chosen by Mark Seymour, History, University of Otago

A summary of the resource.
Nicholas Culpeper (1616-1654) was an apothecary and astrologer who advocated medical treatments being more accessible to laypersons, much to the annoyance of the Royal College of Physicians. He had a great influence on medical practice in England between 1650 and 1750. The first edition of his <em>English Physician</em>, a mixture of herbalism and astrology, was published in 1652. This is the 12th edition of 1809. The book is still in print today.

The over 450 volumes were owned by Alexander Monro, father (<em>primus</em>), son (<em>secundus</em>), and grandson (<em>tertius</em>), who were successively Professors of Anatomy at the University of Edinburgh, 1720-1846. <br /><br />Wonderful though the Monro Collection is, it comprises but a fraction of the total Health Sciences Library’s Historical Collections, some 100,000 plus volumes. These include 18th, 19th, and 20th century books and manuscripts, as well as the unique Preventive Medicine Dissertations. This exhibition,<em> Medical Marvels</em>, highlights treasures from this Historical Collection, from pharmacy and phrenology, to dentistry and disease. Of particular note is the anatomical flap book by Johann Remmelin, printed in Holland in 1667; a second edition of Andreas Vesalius’s <em>The Fabric of the Body</em>, printed in 1555; and Bernhard Albinus’s <em>Tables of the Skeleton and Muscles of the Human Body</em>, printed in 1746. <br /><br />Other noteworthy items include works by medicos Edward Jenner, John Hunter, Francis Glisson, Thomas Willis, and William Smellie. For those interested in the history of medicine, the exhibition is a feast. This exhibition reflects scholarly engagement. Many of the books have been chosen by University of Otago academic staff, students, and librarians, who have used the books for their own research. We are particularly indebted to Professor Terence Doyle, Department of Medicine, and Professor Barbara Brookes, History Department. The first is an avid user of the historical collection; the second highlighted the importance of the Preventive Medicine dissertations.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
French chemist, Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (1743-94), pictured here with his wife, Marie-Anne (1758-1836), is famous for recognising and naming oxygen and hydrogen, and describing their significance in combustion. He is also famous for changing chemistry from a qualitative to a quantitative science. Painted by the artist, Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825), this portrait was commissioned in 1788 by Marie-Anne, who was also a chemist and Lavoisier’s laboratory companion. She was an important collaborator in Lavoisier’s research, and their close relationship is depicted in the portrait. On the far left is a folio of Marie-Anne’s drawings (David was her drawing teacher), in which she recorded much of their work.
