Free "Manikins" for your examination


This vintage ad for a home medical journal was on the site Forgotten Bookmarks. It gives the source as  "The Extremities" by Daniel P. Quiring, Ph. D. Published by Lea and Febiger, 1946.

I have a feeling these educational materials ended up being used for different means. Especially if discovered by the household's adolescent boys...
