Sections on the vascular system, important arteries and veins, embalming technique, and perhaps most interesting, the treatment of special cases such as tuberculosis, amputations, infant embalming and elephantiasis, the latter of which includes a detailed case study of the unfortunate Miss Maude Higgins who weighed 825 pounds as a result of the disease and had to be buried in a special coffin in two graves in St. Michael's Cemetery. Author was president of the Collier School of Embalming Technique in NYC. Rare; no copies on OCLC. Funeral parlor; mortician; mortuary science; undertaking; medicine.
