Dr. Daniel Webster Shindel 1822-95 was born in Sunbury Pennsylvania to Rev. John Peter Shindel and Susanna A. Shindel nee McCullough. He graduated from Pennsylvania Medical College in 1850 and returned to Sunbury where he established his own medical practice becoming at the time of his death the oldest active practitioner in Sunbury. In his obituary it was written that "He was a skilled physician and was considered a great authority in all cases of fever.He was a reader and a thinker who kept up with the greatest changes in medicine which have taken place in the last three decades." The notes in the present volume likely date to around 1848 dated by Shindel at front when he was attending Pennsylvania Medical College and closely follow Mutter's topics within the notes follow a question and answer format similar to Dr. Mütter's teaching style possibly indicating that Dr. Shindel was present at his lectures or copied them from another source including yellow fever inflammation various operation procedures ulceration mortification gangrene wounds amputation etc. Thomas Dent Mütter 1811-59 was one of the earliest pioneers of plastic surgery in America. Born and raised in Virginia he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a medical degree in 1831 and subsequently traveled to Paris where he studied les opérations plastiques.

École nationale vétérinaire d'Alfort or ENVA - the first veterinary school - was established in 1761 by Claude Bourgelat and moved to its current location in 1766 the same year its famed botanical garden was created. The school received almost immediate international recognition. What is offered is an important manuscript of veterinary medicine by the student Florentin Delcroix containing the transcription of three courses given by two prominent veterinarians of the Alfort school and major exponents of veterinary art in France Henri Bouley and Onésime Delafond. Florentin Delcroix 1816-1875 graduated from the Alfort veterinary school in 1837. Onésime Delafond was a famous French veterinarian 1805-1861. A student at Alfort in 1823 he quickly became a professor there in 1829. In 1833 he was appointed professor of pathology therapeutics and health regulation then director of the school in 1860. He was a founding member of the Central Society of Veterinary Medicine the Agricultural Society the Academy of Medicine and numerous learned societies Mennessier de La Lance. This course dated 1835 is particularly interesting since Delafond did not begin to publish until 1836-1838 and his Traité de thérapeutique générale vétérinaire was only published in 1843. As for Henri Bouley 1814-1885 he is one of the greatest names in veterinary medicine Louis-Georges Neuman internationally known teacher and expert in animal pathology.
