Fight Tuberculosis with Modern Weapons (1.8 megs), and other striking and evocative historic public health posters from asbestos to huffing, and beyond. Featuring intelligent critical commentary, especially in the HIV/AIDS and Anti-smoking sections. (All images available in high resolution). From the US National Library of Medicine, which has presented an impressive series of health-related displays over the years. (Via the estimable Artifact)

Dream Anatomy is another interesting NLM display.

It's a bit of a double, but I won't tell. Actually, that's a hell of a resource.
Thanks - there's a lot to poke around in at these sites.

Is it just me, or does that doc doing a vacuum-assisted thoracentesis in the middle bear an uncanny resemblance to a certain current head of state of a major world superpower?
