Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine:being an encyclopedic collection of rare and extraordinary cases, and of the most striking instances of abnormality in all branches of medicine and surgery, derived form an exhaustive research of medical literature from its origin to the present day, abstracted, classified, annotated, and indexed

So this is a from a turn of the century medical book, that was published in Toronto Canada My favorite from this part is Delivery of fetus by cattle-horn injury.

Chapter 2 Prenatal Anomalies
Chapter 3 Obstetric Anomalies

The third page down, it states a woman gave birth to a dead child but a live serpent had gnawed the fetus to death. I find several problems with that.

1. Don't know of any snakes that totally can survive in amniotic fluid (much less how did it enter the amniotic sack) without air.

2. I've never heard of a snake bite off pieces of anything other than swallow something whole.


Cool book though I'd love to have it.

This is the shit they believed in 1890, looking at this makes you realize the advances in medicines.
