"A Polyclinic at the Beginning of the 14th Century"-From an Etching attributed to M.VIAU, a French Artist.


This etching of a medieval clinic of more than 500 years ago appears to be a crude early beginning of our modern clinics. It illustrates the diversity of treatment rendered there. Of major interest to us is the presence of a Dentist treating his patient (in the right background). There are dental instruments clearly visible in the cabinet on the back wall.
