Heirs of Hippocrates

The Development of Medicine in a Catalogue of Historic Books

Complete Record - Heirs of Hippocrates No. 2155

BYRON ROBINSON (1854-1910) The abdominal brain and automatic visceral ganglia. Clinic Publishing Co. 1899 [8] 261 [3] pp., plates. 23.1 cm.

Though Robinson maintained a large practice as a clinical surgeon in Chicago, his chief contribution lies in his studies on anatomy and gross pathology. He contributed significantly to the existing knowledge of the biliary and pancreatic ducts, the ureto-ovarian circle (Robinson's circle), the ureters, and the great sympathetic nerve (the abdominal brain)--the subject to which the present work is devoted.

Gift of John Martin, M.D.
