If you are a ROENTGEN RAY aficionado you might be interested in the article on "The History of an X-Ray burn", describing in more detail than I will just what tubes he used, exposing his test subject to about 20 minutes of Roentgen Ray at a distance of 6 inches. After that, he used his wife as a test subject. He very helpfully went on to describe the treatment given to both, in detail, after his test turned out to be not such a good idea.

Hundreds and hundreds of illustrations - woodcuts, photographs, line drawings, charts, tables. Almost every page is crammed with illustrations - Priceless to have so much illustration from so long ago

The boards of the library binding are still attached. The outside spine is t, but is separated from the journal, the binding of the spine is still quite strong with very little movement. The pages are in good condition with no foxing or tears. This journal is 110 years old, so looks pretty good for that. The insides, articles, photos, woodcuts, etc. and all excellent condition with just some slight browning around the edges.

I am happy to combine shipping on multiple wins
