Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine
Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine, published in 1896 by the American physicians George M. Gould and Walter L. Pyle, is an encyclopedic collection of the rare, extreme and bizarre cases recorded in medical literature from antiquity to their own day. Its chapters cover unusual births and multiple pregnancies, conjoined twins and other anomalies of development, giants and dwarfs, remarkable longevity, physiological curiosities of sleep, hunger and endurance, extraordinary injuries and survivals, foreign bodies, tumors and diseases of every system, and the oddities of the skin, hair and senses, with hundreds of illustrations. The authors wrote for physicians and warn that the book is not for the squeamish; it has become a classic of medical curiosa and a source for historians. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
