Manuscript notebook of Daniel Rutherford containing clinical reports on patients at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, 1796

This is a manuscript entitled "Clinical Reports - Dr Rutherford. From February 1st to April 1796", containing clinical case reports on on patients at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, written by Daniel Rutherford in 1796. It is written in "tête-bêche" format, which means that there are two texts (one describing the female cases, and the other describing the male cases) starting at opposite ends of the volume, upside down relative to each other. Each section starts with an index on the relevant endpaper, with headings "Age, "Name", "Diseases", and "Event" (i.e. outcome: "cure", "relief", "no relief", "dismissed", and "death"), with each case being divided into daily reports.
