Object history
In 1830 William Coulson became the consulting surgeon to the City of London Lying-in Hospital. Here his investigations on puerperal affections of the joints at the lying-in hospital did much to improve the knowledge of their nature and pathology. They were subsequently published in the second edition of his work, Diseases of the Hip Joint (1841)- this particular entry is from the first edition.
