- Ohio Medical College Students with Surgical Instruments, Dissecting Cadaver, circa 1876 - Late 19th-century medical schools employed cadaver dissection to teach human anatomy. A post-mortem dissection -- using bodies supplied by prisons or poorhouses or, sometimes, obtained from grave robbers -- became an important rite of passage for medical school students, who documented this instruction through photography. Photographs like this were personal reminders of a student's professional transformation and usually not intended for general viewing.

- Davis & Kidder's Patent Magneto-Electric Machine, 1875-1885 - Physicians in the late 1800s and early 1900s saw therapeutic possibilities in the use of electricity. A number of doctors believed that medical batteries that administered low levels of electrical stimulation could treat a variety of diseases. Companies marketed and sold these electrotherapeutic devices to doctors and -- to the consternation of some in the medical profession -- average citizens.
