Biomedical Ephemera, or: A Frog for Your Boils

A blog for all biological and medical ephemera, from the age of Abraham through the era of medical quackery and cure-all nostrums. Featuring illustrations, history, and totally useless trivia from the diverse realms of nature and medicine. Buy me a coffee so I can stay up and keep the lights on around here!

The varied offerings of Charles Lentz & Sons

There isn’t a lot of history available about the Charles Lentz & Sons company, aside from their various catalogues. They offered all manner of medical apparatus, as well as zoological and biological equipment. They were based out of Philadelphia, PA, and were one of the first United States medical equipment companies to ship “worldwide” (as it were in 1915).

Illustrated catalogue : and price list of surgical instruments, hospital supplies, orthopedic apparatus, trusses, etc. Charles Lentz & Sons, 1915.

EDIT: meant to reblog to my personal blog but it stays because TRUE.
