The Medicine Cabinet

The Story of Health and Disease told through Extraordinary Objects

Selina Hurley , Ed. Natasha McEnroe
This visual compendium of over 100 medical artefacts from the collection at London’s Science Museum casts light on humanity’s historic attempts to combat ill health. The objects, which include a Bronze Age trepanned skull, a pharmacist's ceramic leech jar, and a gold memento mori ring, show how doctors and their predecessors have used experimental, superstitious or scientifically tested methods to address the characteristic illnesses and injuries of different eras.
