The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, a periodical of medical science published in 1827 by Charles B. Slack and others, aimed at physicians and medical readers in America. Its pictures are engraved anatomical and diagnostic figures: a radial dial with numbered spokes, a magnified tissue study split into fibrous and cellular halves, a sectioned organ with labelled channels, and paired curved tubular forms, rendered in fine hatching that a designer could borrow for scientific diagram linework and labelled plate layouts.
