Book Description
Excerpt from A Dictionary of New Medical Terms: Including Upwards of 38, 000 Words and Many Useful Tables, Being a Supplement to "an Illustrated Dictionary of Medicine Biology, and Allied Sciences," Illustrated Dictionary of Medicine, Biology, and Allied Sciences. It seemed at that time as if, for the most part, the possible phasings and discoveries of pathologic and physiologic conditions must have been made and designated with names. Since then I have kept an eye - and through friends and helpers, many eyes - upon the busy minting still proceeding unabated. That in a decade over'30,000 new terms should have been devised is almost incredible. It is doubtful if any other science or Object of study has ever shown such a phenomenon.

Book Description
This is a unique, extensively illustrated dictionary of terms, people, events, and dates spanning the entire history of medicine. It is a monumental work of scholarship totaling some 700 double-column pages with a large number of rare and exceptional illustrations from many original sources painstakingly compiled over years of far-searching inquiry involving more than 5,000 books and hundreds of journals. It is a major resource of hard-to-find information about notable medical figures, instruments, conditions, procedures, and dates and a storehouse of captivating anecdotes and background material. The book contains a wealth of material for concise historical introductions to a broad range of subjects and is the sine qua non authority on both well and little known facts of medical history. With this single volume-an unprecedented tour de force representing more than 7,000 hours of exhaustive research-clinicians and researchers from all fields of medicine can quickly and easily find authoritative, detailed definitions and descriptions, with dates, of medical terms and of the people and events contributing to the development of medicine from earliest times to the present day. The entries range widely from such as abacterial pyuria to zygote, including Latin and Greek origins of terms, compact biographies with dates, eponymic information of all kinds, and rarely seen drawings and photographs of antique medical instruments and little-known conditions.
