Comment

The specimen was included in the 9I制作厂免费 Abbott Cardiovascular Collection (No 80). There is no record of it in the Museum log book. Its descriptive card indicated that it came from one of Osler鈥檚 1877 Montreal General Hospital autopsies. The label stuck on the back of the specimen is one of the few remaining in the Museum collection and the only one in which there is specific reference to Osler.
