The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences is a periodical of medical writing published in the United States in 1827, aimed at physicians and medical students, and its scanned pages carry plain engraved figures. The first picture is a shield emblem with a caduceus-like staff entwined by serpents, wings above, and the motto Prosunt Quae Omnibus, while the second is a spiral drawn in fine line, suggesting a stylized tapering form that a designer could adapt for emblems or instructional diagrams.
