Print on Demand. This book was written as a guidebook for physicians attending the 57th Annual Session of the American Medical Association in Boston, 1906. It provided both practical information for planning travel and accommodations and historical notes on the city and its medical institutions. The modern reader will find that the historical information is still relevant and will offer a sense of the city's medical history, which dates back to the establishment of the first Latin schoolhouse in 1635 and the introduction of smallpox vaccination in 1799. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
