Item description from seller

Anat. Rec., 10/7. - May 1916, gr.8°, pp.475-481, orig. wrappers. Offprint! From the Anatomical Laboratory of the Johns Hopkins University. "One of the interesting changes in viewpoint in anatomy in the last half century has Abeentthe development of a truer conception of the fluid-containing cavities of the body. From the belief that these spaces were largely alike (i.e., serous), realization has come that there exist at least two types of these peculiar fluid-sacs, excluding from the consideration synovial cavities and bursae. For the first of the two great classes, the term 'serous cavities' has been retained and is now more or less generally limited to such spaces as are derived from the coelom. None of these are to be regarded as being intimate portions of the lymphatic system; rather is their connection with this closed vascular network probably more of a functional than anatomical type." Weed Lewis Hill Weed "was born in Cleveland} Ohio. He received his B.A. in 1908 and his M.A. in 1909; both from Yale University; and his M.D. in 1912 from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. After his graduation from medical school; Weed served two years as Arthur Tracy Cabot Fellow in charge of surgical research at Harvard University; under his former professor Harvey Cushing. In 1914; he returned to Johns Hopkins as instructor of anatomy in the school of medicine; in 1919; he was named head of the department. Weed served as dean of the school of medicine from 1923 until 1929; and as director of the medical school until 1946. In 1939; Weed was appointed chairman of the Division of Medical Sciences of the National Research Council. In 1947; he resigned his Johns Hopkins posts in order to devote more attention to this position. Weed's research dealt largely with cerebrospinal fluid and with the development of the membranes that surround the central nervous system. He discovered the origin of the cerebrospinal fluid and mapped out its circulation; an accomplishment which led to a number of important clinical developments." Lewis H. Weed Collection; CHESNEY ARCHIVES / JOHNS HOPKINS Medicine. …
