This version has no Pictures!  
A.& C. of M. is a fantastic book indeed with it's "ancient" coverage of medical anomilies in one place!! It also had a brief cameo in the movie "The Breakfast Club." However this version of the book (Blue Unicorn Press) has none of the original pictures of which there were over 100 in the original version (late 1800's) and in the reprints during the mid to late 20th century. Unless you only want text, this version may not be for you.

ANOMALIES AND CURIOSITIES for the curious and unsqueamish  
ANOMALIES AND CURIOSITIES OF MEDICINE is a fun romp through the world of weird medicine and freaks. This book, compiled in 1897, is still a shocking text on the world of human oddities. From the fat midget to the alligator-skin boy to the two-headed boy to the rectal foreign bodies, it provides many a night's reading. Of course, the squeamish may be offended or even horrified.
