Other chapters provide a discussion of woman's milk as a medicine, especially for consumption. This book discusses as well the mutual relationship between grandmothers and their grandchildren.

When Midwifery Became the Male Physician's Province
Author: Eucharius RösslinPublisher: McFarland

Pages : 152
Book Description
Rosslin's Der Swangern frawen und he bammen roszgarten (1513) is frequently cited by historians, both positively and (more often) negatively, as a milestone in the professionalization of obstetrics and gynecology. While the subject of whether the book led to an improvement in midwifery is open to debate, there is no argument that it was the beginning of the male medical profession's move into the female domain of midwifery. This newly translated version (a previous, poor English version appeared in 1540) includes a long introduction setting book and author into their historic context.

Book Description
During his tenure as the Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford from 1905-1919, Sir William Osler amassed a considerable library on the history of medicine and science. A Canadian native, Osler had studied at McGill University and decided to leave his collection of 7,600 items to its Faculty of Medicine. A catalogue, the Bibliotheca Osleriana, was compiled - a labour of love that took ten years to complete and involved W.W. Francis, R.H. Hill, and Archibald Malloch. Osler himself laid down the broad outlines of the catalogue and wrote many of the annotations.
