http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt2n39r5qj

The collection comprises three logs that list medical treatments administered and surgeries performed by a variety of physicians from approximately the 1920s to 1932. Two of the logs list medical treatments alphabetically by ailment, disease, or injury; entries include the patient's gender, the result of the treatment, complications, and the number of days the patient was hospitalized.

No patient names or treatment dates are listed in the logs. No hospital or clinic name appears on any of the logs, but the logs are probably from a medical facility in Orange County, California.
