Notes on clinics conducted by William Pepper at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, 1887-1890
Scope and Contents
The three Charles P. Mercer notebooks contain a record of his
education in the University of Pennsylvania's Department of
Medicine, 1887-1890.
Mercer describes cases presented at the Hospital of the University
of Pennsylvania during the clinical instruction of Francis X.
Dercum, William Osler, William Pepper, and Horatio C. Wood.
Several of Osler's cases were presented at Philadelphia Hospital
and the Philadelphia Orthopaedic Hospital and Infirmary for
Nervous Diseases. Many of the cases, particularly those of
Wood and Dercum, concern nervous diseases. Each individual
presentation contains the patient's case history, description
of symptoms, and prescribed treatment.
Some review questions from Mercer's course of therapeutics in
1889 and a few recipes are also included.
Researchers should note that the third notebook exists only in typescript.
