Heart Specimen in one of Maude Abbott’s books, 1925

Page 203 of a book by Maude Abbott on the impact of bacterial inflammation on cardiovascular processes. The top of the page reads “Inflammatory Processes in Cardio-Vascular Defects”. Two columns of text explain the various processes. A black and white photograph in the centre of the page shows an interior view of the left ventricle of a heart.

Maude Abbott was extremely rigorous in recording her observations. Her work showed, in an intelligent and logical manner, both the cause of the disease and the therapy for curing it.
