New medical artifacts for Western

Husband and wife London physicians, Dr. Elizabeth Smith and Dr. David Smith recently donated 31 objects to the Medical Artifact Collection at Western. Some of these objects were used in their practice, but many - such as the 'Apparatus to prevent projecting ears' - were not! Come see a few of the 'quack' medicine equipment collected (as a hobby) by Dr. David Smith in the small case display, 2nd floor Lawson Hall.

Pictured below: artifacts donated by Drs. David and Elizabeth Smith.
