Maister Peter Lowe's Gloves A pair of leather gauntlet gloves with metal thread embroidery, believed to have belonged to Maister Peter Lowe, the founder of the incorporation now known as Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. They may possibly have been given as a gift to symbolise loyalty and service, as was customary. The gloves were donated to the College by Mrs Hamilton Gray, the widow of the Reverend John Hamilton Gray, in 1867. Reverend John Hamilton Gray was Minister of the Parish of Carntyne and was a descendent of Maister Lowe, his family having married into the Lowe family. The embroidery work which they display is undoubtedly of a professional nature. The formal pattern of foliage, mythical animals, and cupola within arched pillars is typical of the period 1600-1620. The outlining of the fingers of the gloves with metal braid and the depth of the gauntlets suggest the date of around 1600-1610. <iframe width="640" height="480" title="A 3D model" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/a95c248c3a8a42fa80ce4de6a89445b5/embed?autostart=1&amp;ui_controls=1&amp;ui_infos=1&amp;ui_inspector=1&amp;ui_stop=1&amp;ui_watermark=1&amp;ui_watermark_link=1" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> c. 1600-1610 2019/7 Lucy Baldwin Gas-Oxygen Analgesia Apparatus Lucy Baldwin- Countess Baldwin of Bewdley, wife of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, and maternity health activist.

One such instrument was the Vapo-Cresolene Spirit Lamp. To treat a variety of respiratory disorders, including asthma and bronchitis, one would light the lamp filled with kerosene and place it under the vaporiser cup. The cup would then be filled with cresolene, which would gradually be vaporised into the surrounding atmosphere.

An electrode would be attached to the machine, which would help the surgeon to locate a lesion for removal, and also ensure that an undamaged part of the brain was not about to be removed. The device is clearly handmade, and is most likely an early prototype or precursor to machines used in later deep brain recording techniques. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iFI_oDkJbTY" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> <iframe width="640" height="480" title="A 3D model" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/91742f9ee2074036a6e5819934ffdf75/embed?autostart=1&amp;ui_controls=1&amp;ui_infos=1&amp;ui_inspector=1&amp;ui_stop=1&amp;ui_watermark=1&amp;ui_watermark_link=1" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/1126">Robertson; James Sloan Mutrie (1905-1978); neurosurgeon</a> c. 1960s 2001/3 Footwarmer Foot warmer, metal with cork stopper, c 1929.

It was commissioned by Adam Brown Kelly (1866-1941), laryngologist at the Victoria Infirmary, Glasgow and was constructed to a design of the leading London laryngologist, Sir Morell Mackenzie. The high back with its adjustable head rest is at right angles to the seat, forcing the occupant to maintain a very upright posture. There is only one armrest, on the left, and the seat's central portion can rotate. All these features facilitate certain otolaryngological procedures. All examination was done using reflected light, the examiner looking down the centre of the beam created by a circular concave mirror via a central hole in the mirror. A lamp was placed slightly behind and to the left of the chair back, with the surgeon, seated, facing the patient. The chair was later used by Adam Brown Kelly's son, Derek, (d.2002) who was also an E.N.T. surgeon at the Victoria Infirmary. <div class="sketchfab-embed-wrapper"><iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/a63d399b444346beabe3f133fcbc139d/embed?autospin=0.2" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> <p style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin: 5px; color: #4a4a4a;"><a href="https://sketchfab.com/models/a63d399b444346beabe3f133fcbc139d?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Examination chair used by Adam Brown Kelly</a> by <a href="https://sketchfab.com/rcpsgheritage?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">RCPSG Heritage</a> on <a href="https://sketchfab.com?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Sketchfab</a></p> </div> <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/1171">Mayer &amp; Meltzer; 1869-early 20th century; Surgical instrument maker</a> c. 1890 2000/1 Dr David Livingstone Humerus Cast A replica cast of David Livingstone's left humerus, showing a compound fracture which occurred when he was mauled by a lion on his first expedition.

Early monaural stethoscope as devised by Dr Rene Laennec, early 19th century. The Breton doctor, Rene Laennec of Quimper (1781-1826) first invented the stethoscope in 1816. Confronted by a stout woman with an apparent heart condition, Laennec found that he was unable to use hand or ear to examine the patient without embarrassment, so he used a tightly rolled sheaf of papers, one end of which he placed against the precordial region and the other to his ear. He was able thereby to hear the heart with greater clarity than he had ever done before. Laennec developed a stethoscope which consisted of a simple wooden cylinder that could be unscrewed in the middle for carrying in the pocket. <div class="sketchfab-embed-wrapper"><iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/b26dd74697364a6d8309253dd27f2948/embed?autospin=0.2" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> <p style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin: 5px; color: #4a4a4a;"><a href="https://sketchfab.com/models/b26dd74697364a6d8309253dd27f2948?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Laennec Stethoscope</a> by <a href="https://sketchfab.com/rcpsgheritage?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">RCPSG Heritage</a> on <a href="https://sketchfab.com?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Sketchfab</a></p> </div> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1icmLlmHpDw" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> Rene Laennec c. 1800s 2003/50 Wilson-Type Microscope Simple pocket microscope with five lenses and metal-mounted slide. <div class="sketchfab-embed-wrapper"><iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/de01e68f92b543da9380ae21516dd059/embed?autospin=0.2" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> <p style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin: 5px; color: #4a4a4a;"><a href="https://sketchfab.com/models/de01e68f92b543da9380ae21516dd059?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Wilson-Type Microscope</a> by <a href="https://sketchfab.com/rcpsgheritage?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">RCPSG Heritage</a> on <a href="https://sketchfab.com?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Sketchfab</a></p> </div> Unknown 2003/33 Macewen's Osteotomes Set of osteotomes, made by a Glasgow blacksmith, T.

It was commissioned by Adam Brown Kelly (1866-1941), laryngologist at the Victoria Infirmary, Glasgow and was constructed to a design of the leading London laryngologist, Sir Morell Mackenzie. The high back with its adjustable head rest is at right angles to the seat, forcing the occupant to maintain a very upright posture. There is only one armrest, on the left, and the seat’s central portion can rotate. All these features facilitate certain otolaryngological procedures. All examination was done using reflected light, the examiner looking down the centre of the beam created by a circular concave mirror via a central hole in the mirror. A lamp was placed slightly behind and to the left of the chair back, with the surgeon, seated, facing the patient. The chair was later used by Adam Brown Kelly’s son, Derek, (d.2002) who was also an E.N.T. surgeon at the Victoria Infirmary. <iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/a63d399b444346beabe3f133fcbc139d/embed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> <p style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin: 5px; color: #4a4a4a;"><a href="https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/examination-chair-used-by-adam-brown-kelly-a63d399b444346beabe3f133fcbc139d?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Examination chair used by Adam Brown Kelly</a> by <a href="https://sketchfab.com/rcpsgheritage?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">RCPSG Heritage</a> on <a href="https://sketchfab.com?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Sketchfab</a></p> <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/107" target="_blank">ENT Examination Chair</a> 3D Scan of Dog Collar c.1883 Dog collar that once belonged to Sankel of the Glasgow Eye Infirmary, part of the museum collection of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.

Although the exact purpose of the machine is unclear, it was most likely used during surgical treatment of patients suffering from epilepsy. An electrode would be attached to the machine, which would help the surgeon to locate a lesion for removal, and also ensure that an undamaged part of the brain was not about to be removed. The device is clearly handmade, and is most likely an early prototype or precursor to machines used in later deep brain recording techniques. James Sloan Robertson was one of the first modern neurosurgeons in the UK. After graduating in medicine from the University of Glasgow in 1920, he worked as a surgeon at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. He then trained in Canada for a year under renowned neurosurgeon, Wilder Penfield, at the Neurological Institute, Montreal. During the Second World War, Robertson worked as a specialist in neurosurgery at the EMS Hospital in Killearn. He was one of the men behind the creation of the Institute of Neurological Sciences at Glasgow. <iframe width="640" height="480" title="A 3D model" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/91742f9ee2074036a6e5819934ffdf75/embed?autostart=0&amp;ui_controls=1&amp;ui_infos=1&amp;ui_inspector=1&amp;ui_stop=1&amp;ui_watermark=1&amp;ui_watermark_link=1" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/58" target="_blank">Biphasic Stimulator</a> 3D Scan of Hunter Medal Cast c. 1849 Plaster cast of William Hunter Medal, awarded to any life science student at the University of Glasgow for distinction in their field.

Hunter was one of the first male midwives in the UK, a practice which until then had been reserved for women only, and his publication "The Anatomy of the Gravid Uterus Exhibited in Figures" can be found within the College's library collection. <iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/540e138c7e724658bf1a028bb2af7c06/embed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> <p style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin: 5px; color: #4a4a4a;"><a href="https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/plaster-cast-of-william-hunter-medal-540e138c7e724658bf1a028bb2af7c06?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Plaster Cast of William Hunter Medal</a> by <a href="https://sketchfab.com/rcpsgheritage?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">RCPSG Heritage</a> on <a href="https://sketchfab.com?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Sketchfab</a></p> <div><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/280" target="_blank">William Hunter Medal</a></div> <div><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/281" target="_blank">Impression of William Hunter</a></div> <div><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/503" target="_blank">Portrait of William Hunter</a></div> <div><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/944" target="_blank">Long Calderwood</a></div> 3D Scan of Wilson-Type Microscope c. 1800s Simple pocket microscope with five lenses and metal-mounted slide. <iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/de01e68f92b543da9380ae21516dd059/embed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> <p style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin: 5px; color: #4a4a4a;"><a href="https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/wilson-type-microscope-de01e68f92b543da9380ae21516dd059?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Wilson-Type Microscope</a> by <a href="https://sketchfab.com/rcpsgheritage?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">RCPSG Heritage</a> on <a href="https://sketchfab.com?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Sketchfab</a></p> <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/1285" target="_blank">Wilson-Type Microscope</a> 3D Scan of Postage Scales c. 1800s Brass postage scales on a wooden base.

The shell struck the soldier in the face, but caused little clinical disturbance. Tom Gibson was born in Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire, on 24 November 1915. He was educated at Paisley Grammar School and Glasgow University where he graduated MB, ChB in 1938. He worked in the Medical Research Council Burns Unit, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, 1942-4. While at the Burns Unit he made an outstanding contribution to the understanding of the mechanism of homograft rejection. He was joined in Glasgow by Peter Medawar who had been working in Oxford on the same problem and their joint work “The fate of skin homografts in man”, was published in the Journal of Anatomy in 1943. The article is quoted in Morton’s Medical Bibliography as the work which placed the laws of transplantation on a firm scientific basis. <iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/5646dab210764676a7c0257fb66ac24f/embed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> <p style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin: 5px; color: #4a4a4a;"><a href="https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/large-missile-lodged-in-the-face-5646dab210764676a7c0257fb66ac24f?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Large Missile Lodged in the Face</a> by <a href="https://sketchfab.com/rcpsgheritage?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">RCPSG Heritage</a> on <a href="https://sketchfab.com?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Sketchfab</a></p> <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/45" target="_blank">Cannon Shell</a> <div><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/1294" target="_blank">Portrait of Thomas Gibson</a></div> 3D Scan of Woodcut This woodcut was designed by Wharton Jones and Richie Brown with the intention of including the illustration in a textbook on ophthalmology that William Mackenzie was developing.

William Macewen was a surgeon in Glasgow during the late 19th century and early 20th century. He pioneered many clinical specialities, including orthopaedics. He designed his version of the osteotome in the 1870s, and wrote an in depth account of its design in his publication, "Osteotomy with an inquiry into the aetiology and pathology of knock-knee, bow-leg, and other osseous deformities of the lower limbs." He explains: "The osteotome is an instrument of the chisel order, bevelled on both sides, so as to resemble a very slender wedge...The osteotome is used only for making simple incisions, or wedge-shaped openings without removal of bone." <p><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/468" target="_blank">Portrait of William Macewen</a></p> <p><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/247" target="_blank">Macewen's Osteotomes</a></p> <p><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/108" target="_blank">Macewen's Operating Table</a></p> 3D Scan of Waterloo Femur Pictured here is a sample of the distal region of the femur found on the Fields of Waterloo, where the Battle of Waterloo took place on 18th June 1815. <iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/b313fefefa4147e898a4bfa83e6c7c00/embed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> <p style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin: 5px; color: #4a4a4a;"><a href="https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/femur-from-the-battle-of-waterloo-b313fefefa4147e898a4bfa83e6c7c00?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Femur from the Battle of Waterloo</a> by <a href="https://sketchfab.com/rcpsgheritage?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">RCPSG Heritage</a> on <a href="https://sketchfab.com?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Sketchfab</a></p> c. 1815 <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/48" target="_blank">Distal Portion of Femur</a> 3D Scan of 350th Anniversary gavel Presentation/ceremonial gavel commemorating the 350th anniversary of the Royal Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.

Macewen tended to Miss Watson with his well-known skill and compassion, but little did he know that this case would become a world first in neurosurgery. At this time, there were no methods of imaging the body non-invasively- Rontgen did not discover X-rays until 1895. Therefore, determining the dimensions of brain lesions relied on the practitioner's observations of the patient's symptoms alone. This would have required an in-depth knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the brain. Thankfully, Macewen was well-read on the current theories on the brain at that time. Miss Watson truly could not have asked for a better surgeon to help her. Due to Miss Watson's frequent convulsions, Macewen suspected that the tumour above the left eye was in fact passing through the skull into the brain. Hence, he decided to cut into the mass and follow its trajectory. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the tumour did indeed pass through the skull and was putting pressure on the dura mater. Macewen successfully removed the tumour, under antiseptic conditions, and closed the wound. Miss Watson survived the operation and died some years later from kidney problems completely unrelated to this case. This case became the first successful removal of a brain tumour in the world. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pjSV_gsXME0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/468" target="_blank">Portrait of William Macewen</a> <div><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/108" target="_blank">Macewen Operating Table</a></div> Animation on Lung Penetration Case During his time as a police surgeon in Glasgow, William Macewen attended to several cases in the city centre. He collected any mentions of the cases from newspapers and put them together in a clippings book, which is held within the College's archive collection. On 11th October, 1873, a young man had been stabbed in the back during an altercation. He had complaints of feeling breathless, as if something was tugging on his throat. When Macewen examined the wound, he found that the probe extended all the way into the pleural lining of the lungs. At this point he came into contact with a shard of the knife that had been used to stab the young man. He successfully removed the knife segment and the patient survived. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PiRiFlSiIpQ" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/468" target="_blank">Portrait of William Macewen</a> Tooth Extraction with Dental Key Before the invention of the dental forceps in the 19th century, teeth were extracted using a variety of dental instruments. One such instrument was the "dental key", named as such due to its mechanism of use. If a tooth was to be extracted, the dentist, (or barber surgeon), would take the tooth key and place the claw around the affected tooth. They would then turn the key as if trying to open a lock and extract the tooth. This technique was not particularly successful and would often lead to the crown of the tooth being cracked off, leaving the root still embedded in the jaw. Thankfully, the regular use of the tooth key was phased out in the 19th century due to the introduction of the dental forceps. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/e1Z540LAalw?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/735" target="_blank">Dental Forceps</a> <div><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/534" target="_blank">Tooth Key</a></div> Animation on Lister's Carbolic Spray In 1867, Joseph Lister published his ground-breaking article “Antiseptic Principle of the Practice of Surgery” in the medical journal, The Lancet. This article presented Lister's initial cases where he used what would become his principle of antisepsis. It was in the Glasgow Royal Infirmary that Lister first started using carbolic as an antiseptic, heralding the beginnings of a surgical revolution. The carbolic spray, however, was mainly employed during Lister's time as a surgeon in Edinburgh. As well as sterilising wounds, Lister aimed to sterilise the surgical environment. Hence, an operator would pump carbolic spray around the operating theatre to eradicate any germs. Unfortunately, this had detrimental effects on practitioners since they were inhaling highly concentrated carbolic acid. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7WLyGmb4IyQ" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> <div><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/226" target="_blank">Portrait of Joseph Lister</a></div> <div><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/34" target="_blank">Lister Carbolic Spray</a></div> <div><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/211" target="_blank">Ward in the Lister Block</a></div> Livingstone's Humerus Fracture A Fellow of the Royal College, David Livingstone was a medical missionary in Southern Africa during the 1800s.

Vesalius taught himself human cadaveric dissection, and began to doubt Galen’s authority. When Professor of Anatomy at Padua, he prepared his famous work De Humani Corporis Fabrica. This work revolutionised medical science by challenging long-held tradition, and by its use of amazing woodcut illustrations. From now on students of medicine and surgery could study more accurate visualisations of the human body, drawn from observation and scientific investigation. The iconic series of fourteen ‘muscle men’ in the ‘Fabrica’ shows the human body in various states of dissection. The figures are depicted in the Euganean Hills near Padua, where Vesalius was Professor of Anatomy. <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/811" target="_blank">De Humani Corporis Fabrica Libri Septem</a> Vapo-Cresolene Spirit Lamp Box There are several examples from history of medical instruments that claimed to cure a plethora of ailments. One such instrument was the Vapo-Cresolene Spirit Lamp. To treat a variety of respiratory disorders, including asthma and bronchitis, one would light the lamp filled with kerosene and place it under the vaporiser cup. The cup would then be filled with cresolene, which would gradually be vaporised into the surrounding atmosphere. Many lamps were sold and can often be found as ornamental pieces in homes. <iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/590b095f7a7f4fa4a1df30f7a828baeb/embed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> <p style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin: 5px; color: #4a4a4a;"><a href="https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/vapo-cresolene-spirit-lamp-box-590b095f7a7f4fa4a1df30f7a828baeb?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Vapo-Cresolene Spirit Lamp Box</a> by <a href="https://sketchfab.com/rcpsgheritage?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">RCPSG Heritage</a> on <a href="https://sketchfab.com?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Sketchfab</a></p> <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/52" target="_blank">Vapo-Cresolene Spirit Lamp</a> <div><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/57" target="_blank">Veedee Massager</a></div> Lancet Case Scan This lancet case made of silver, and has the initials "JCH" inscribed on the front.

The cases were documented in several local newspapers of the late 19th century, and Macewen collected several clippings of articles in which he was mentioned. These clippings are found in one of Macewen's scrapbooks, which is now held in the College's archive collection. In this map you are able to read excerpts of the cases from different newspapers. Learn about a stabbing case in Ropework Lane, a suspicious death in the Old Wynd, and rotten fish being sold on the High Street! <iframe width="320" height="240" src="https://c.simmer.io/static/unityFrame/index.html?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsimmercdn.com%2Funity%2FVXsEpZyf4kepQ2GmexXXewHKc5C3%2Fcontent%2F259d47b4-a15c-92a6-6303-cd3a20c40998&amp;imagePath=screens/0.png"></iframe> Vesalius Anatomy Puzzle Test your knowledge of the organs of the body in this interactive puzzle game!

Published in 1543, this set of anatomical books was the first in history to be based on human dissection and observation. While studying in Padua, Vesalius began to notice the errors in anatomical teaching, which were based on the writings of Galen, a Greek physician and surgeon. Galen's works and teachings were based on animal dissections as human dissections were banned in Ancient Rome. Hence, Vesalius took it upon himself to publish a series of anatomical textbooks based on accurate human dissection. <iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/df565d19ec2544c183b503a1e8333d84/embed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> <p style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin: 5px; color: #4a4a4a;"><a href="https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/vesalius-woodcut-illustration-df565d19ec2544c183b503a1e8333d84?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Vesalius Woodcut Illustration</a> by <a href="https://sketchfab.com/rcpsgheritage?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">RCPSG Heritage</a> on <a href="https://sketchfab.com?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Sketchfab</a></p> <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/811" target="_blank">De Humani Corporis Fabrica Libri Septem</a> Scan of College Council Portrait This scan is of a portrait on display outside of the Lock Room in the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.

The exhumation was supervised by local surgeon Archibald Blacklock, who had an interest in phrenology. A plaster cast was taken of the skull, and Blacklock noted that “nothing could exceed the high state of preservation in which we found the bones of the cranium, or offer a fairer opportunity of supplying what has so long been desiderated by Phrenologists - a correct model of our immortal Poet’s head”. George Combe, a leading phrenologist, examined the cast and published his analysis in Edinburgh in 1834. Three casts were made during the 1834 exhumation. This cast is believed to be a copy produced later in the 19th century. It was in the possession of Murdoch Cameron, Professor of Midwifery at the University of Glasgow. Cameron then gave the cast to John Cleland, Professor of Anatomy, whose collection is housed in the University’s Museum of Anatomy. This item is on loan from The Hunterian, University of Glasgow. <iframe width="640" height="480" title="A 3D model" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/f7e70a9eee414f33b98722448497d10d/embed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> <p style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin: 5px; color: #4a4a4a;"><a href="https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/cast-of-the-cranium-of-robert-burns-f7e70a9eee414f33b98722448497d10d?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Cast of the Cranium of Robert Burns</a> by <a href="https://sketchfab.com/rcpsgheritage?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">RCPSG Heritage</a> on <a href="https://sketchfab.com?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Sketchfab</a></p> <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/exhibitions" target="_blank">Great Minds: The Brain in Medicine, Surgery and Psychiatry</a> <div><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/1368" target="_blank">Great Minds Exhibition Overview</a></div> 3D Scan of Ballot Box 3D scan of a metal ballot box that was used in College meetings. <iframe width="640" height="480" title="A 3D model" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/6605b2d8da8b4d749c707620ae85b440/embed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> Amputation Set Video <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lWIRCtwjMCk" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> This video gives insight into the instruments of an amputation set. 3D Model of Levi's Metallic Elbow Splint 3D model showing a replica of Levi's Metallic Elbow Splint. <iframe width="640" height="480" title="A 3D model" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/5e2f55f263414c86b4909b07f2511f7d/embed?autostart=0&amp;ui_controls=1&amp;ui_infos=1&amp;ui_inspector=1&amp;ui_stop=1&amp;ui_watermark=1&amp;ui_watermark_link=1" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe>
