Physiology Notebook by Edith W. Dalton (1897)

This remarkable 1897 physiology notebook was handwritten and illustrated by Edith W. Dalton, a student whose precise penmanship and anatomical sketches reveal a dedicated pursuit of medical knowledge. Carefully scanned and digitally preserved over a century later, this edition offers a rare glimpse into the study of human anatomy and physiology as it was taught in the late 19th century.

With beautifully rendered drawings of the heart, kidneys, brain, and more, along with original handwritten notes and experiments, this artifact bridges the gap between past and present. Preserved and presented by Bebout Family Medicine and Dr. Bebout’s Cabinet of Medical Curiosities, it’s a perfect resource for medical history enthusiasts, students, educators, and collectors.
