A blocky instrument with little slits at the bottom, out of which protrudes many blades.
Scarificator, 19th century. This instrument with spring-loaded blades delivered many cuts simultaneously. Afterwards, the doctor placed a heated cup over the site. As it cooled, blood was forced out of the wounds.

Metal tool, with a handle. Similar in design to a rotary whisk
This device was marketed by its inventor, Dr Gerald Macaura, as improving blood circulation through vibrations. According to Macaura it could cure paralysis, deafness, tuberculosis, rheumatism, ‘women’s issues’ and constipation

An open book showing an illustration of a human hand. The hand is partially dissected – the veins and arteries are on display. The hand does not look like that of a corpse – its fingers are spread and the forefinger rests on a closed book
Charles Bell was an anatomist and an artist. He created the hand-coloured engravings in this book to show the structure of the arteries and to explore the damage which could be caused by bullets, scissors or ‘a thrust made with a small sword’.

Hello 👋
I've been a bit quiet as I've been exploring North Wales 🏴
I've seen so many gorgeous places. I'm looking forward to sharing them with you all 🌞

Woodland scene of shades of green with ferns bottom left, browns of small branches across the scene and small white flowers pop above wide verdant shiny leaves
The curled up end of a fern leaf looking like a curled up caterpillar or snail shell on the end of a shepherds crook shape of the bud in a scene of green leaves
A cluster of small white hawthorn tree flowers - 5 petals per flier with fine stalks from the centre of each flower, set against the small green lobed leaves behind
Primrose flowers - pale cream flowers with 5 petals each and a rich yellow centre to each - against verdant green leaves
Best time of year. Spring is springing. It might still be a bit chill and damp but the plants are blossoming and buds are bursting. Ferns, woodland, hawthorn, flowers, primrose.
