(4) 4-6 Medicine Through the Ages series. From the mid-eighteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century, rapid changes in living conditions, technology, and science led to advances in Western medical knowledge and treatment.

Archival illustrations and photos provide a sense of the era. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind.
