To honor the 100th anniversary of the Indiana University School of Medicine, the Lilly Library is featuring "Notable Medical Books."

Included in the exhibit are Paracelsus's first book on surgical techniques, printed in 1536, Vesalius's 1543 anatomical work "De Humani Corporis Fabrica," William Harvey's 1628 book on the circulation of blood, and Sir Charles Bell's rare "Idea of a New Anatomy of the Brain." Benjamin Franklin's booklet advocating inoculation against smallpox is also featured.

The exhibit runs until December 22 in the Main Gallery. For information about the Lilly Library's hours, go to:
