Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The three Charles P. Mercer notebooks contain a record of his
education in the University of Pennsylvania's Department of
Medicine, 1887-1890.
Mercer describes cases presented at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania during the clinical instruction of Francis X. Dercum, William Osler, William Pepper, and Horatio C. Wood. Several of Osler's cases were presented at Philadelphia Hospital and the Philadelphia Orthopaedic Hospital and Infirmary for Nervous Diseases. Many of the cases, particularly those of Wood and Dercum, concern nervous diseases. Each individual presentation contains the patient's case history, description of symptoms, and prescribed treatment.
Some review questions from Mercer's course of therapeutics in 1889 and a few recipes are also included.
