الصفحة 10 - As it is proposed to establish in Washington an Armg Medical Museum, medical officers are directed diligently to collect and to forward to the Office of the Surgeon General, all specimens of morbid anatomy, surgical or medical, which may be regarded as valuable; together with projectiles and foreign bodies removed, and such other matters as may prove of interest in the study of military medicine or surgery.
الصفحة 33 - Nuremberg to the delicate and complicated instrument through which we now peer curiously into that world which lies within the world of unassisted vision. By our labels and catalogues we must tell men what to see ; but to do this we must first see ourselves. The aphorism that a first-class museum would consist of a series of satisfactory labels with specimens attached means a good deal.
الصفحة 32 - ... preservation, and proper display of these specimens, and also for the purchase of apparatus and typical specimens of foreign work, in order that the museum may be always able to show the latest state of knowledge and the best ways of doing things. " The annual appropriation for the museum at present is $5,000. This is sufficient, except that the printing of the catalogue, of which I shall speak presently, must be an extra charge ; but the medical profession should see to it that the amount is...
الصفحة 14 - ... the measurement of the special work of different organs, or in illustrating lectures on physiology. Illustrations of results obtained in experimental pathology often belong quite as much to physiology ; as, for example, specimens of results of Gudden's atrophy method. " The Army Medical Museum has only a beginning of such an anatomical collection as I have indicated as desirable. Like all other museums, it is richer in specimens illustrating osteology than in any other branch of anatomy, simply...
الصفحة 20 - ... models, if the thing itself is not available. One of the most important sections of our museum is that devoted to microscopy, including normal and pathological histology and photomicrographic work. In the cabinets there are nearly 11,000 mounted specimens, illustrating almost every field of microscopical research. Many of these were made twenty years ago and more, and were mounted by processes which have not given good results, so that Dr. Gray, who is in charge of this section, estimates that...
الصفحة 36 - In our medical museum yonder may be found abundant illustrations of the results of physical and chemical actions and reactions upon what was once living matter, and was connected with centres of consciousness, of intellect, of emotions which imply something more than ordinary protoplasm or mere metabolism. It brings together strange company. The men who dwelt on the sides of the Andes in the old Aztec days, the men who built cities in the Gila Valley centuries before the days of Columbus, the Esquimaux,...
الصفحة 10 - ... specimens. It is not my purpose in this address to trace the history of its development; that must be done elsewhere. It has recently been placed, with the Library, in a conveniently arranged fire-proof building, and on the first of July last contained over 15,000 specimens besides those contained in its microscopical department, divided as follows: Comparative Anatomy...
الصفحة 13 - The kind of specimens most valued for illustrating anatomy in a museum is now very different from what was sought for in the first half of this century. Dried and varnished dissections showing bloodvessels, etc., are now looked on as nearly useless, and are kept only as historical relics. Elaborate dissections under alcohol, mounted in opaque dishes, with flat glass covers, and sections of frozen bodies, similarly mounted, are what the student and the practitioner most desire to see. In our museum...
الصفحة 19 - ... itself, but because of the preceding phenomena which it connotes. As Sir James Paget has said, the same objection, viz., that museum specimens are unfit for the teaching or the study of pathology, might be made to the study of botanical specimens in an herbarium. " In both cases alike, the changes produced by preparation are so far uniform that any one accustomed to recent specimens (and no others should study either herbaria or pathological collections) can allow for them or ' discount
