Comment
Rodin听speculates that this particular specimen may be one of those presented in Osler's graduation thesis of 1872.听In support of this is Abbott's statement in 1927 that "some (specimens of) typhoid fever (from his graduation thesis) are preserved in the Museum collection today."* In听this article Abbott refers specifically听to specimen E1885; however, the corresponding log book number is blank.听 To complicate matters, the descriptive card indicates that听the E number for this specimen is 1886; however, the log book entry for this number听refers to a kidney.听 Thus, conclusive corroborative evidence that this is in fact one of Osler's thesis specimens is lacking.
