![Library stamp documented on fore-edge.
From p. 415 of Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine by George Milbry Gould and Walter Lytle Pyle (1901). [Here]

It combines the almost-surely-mythical and the present-day-mundane with what is otherwise a vast account of documented anomalies and curiosities of medicine. It inspired the title of my exhibit back in August. —kcw](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lunfm33JfE1qixa76o1_500.png)
