Among the contents of the 53 issues are Hermann Nothnagel's experiments on rabbits that show chloroform and ether may produce fatty changes in the liver, heart and kidneys. Also included is the first reported case of infantile splenic anaemia by Dr. Gretzel, assistant to Dr. Wilhelm Griesinger. In 1866 Gretzel encountered a ten month old child with anaemia and an enlargement of the spleen. He suggested that the disease in question was not leukaemia. Griesinger suggested the name "splenic anaemia". The physiologist Leonard Landois, a pioneer in the study of blood transfusions, together with the neurologist Albert Eulenburg, contributes seven articles under the title "Experimentelle und praktische Beitrage zur Transfusion des Blutes". Dr. Hermann Beigel contributes a series of three articles on hypodermic injections. Dr. Hugo von Ziemssen contributes four articles on the value of galvanic currents in medicine. Good .
