By the end of the 1850's medicine had become perceptibly `modern'. Contributions by acknowledged experts cover subjects from Apothecaries' Act of 1815 to froensic medicine, and the effect of scientific medicine on the doctor 410 0$aWellcome Institute series in the history of medicine. 606 $aMedicine$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century$vCongresses 606 $aMedicine$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century$vCongresses 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory 676 $a610.94109033 676 $a610/.941/09033 701 $aFrench$b R.
