Pregnancy illustration, circa 1860
This pregnancy illustration is from a copy of Ishinhō, the oldest existing medical book in Japan. Originally written by Yasuyori Tanba in 982 A.D., the 30-volume work describes a variety of diseases and their treatment. Much of the knowledge presented in the book originated from China. The illustrations shown here are from a copy of the book that dates to about 1860.

Anatomical heart from a vintage copy of The Human Body: What It Is And How It Works
“The heart is a powerful instrument, pumping about three thousand gallons of blood daily. In a lifetime of seventy years, a heart could pump roughly 77,000,000 gallons of blood-enough to fill a skyscraper-or raise a ten ton weight ten miles. In an hour, a heart could raise a man five floors in an elevator. Two hearts could provide enough power to drive a truck around the world in two years.”
