CANADIAN PO BOX ADDRESSES:

Unfortunately, we will not be able to ship to PO BOX addresses within Canada during the strike as only Canada Post has access to deliver to those.

Lectures on subjects such as gangrene, tetanus, hydrophobia, head injuries, hernia, aneurism, cancer, diseases of the testicle, prostate, bladder stones, spine curvature, necrosis, fractures, and a great deal on venereal disease. A gem of medical history: "Dr. Gregory used to relieve night sweats by a meat dinner and a pint of draught porter going to bed" (p. 15, under Hectic Fever).
