This mini-exhibit from the National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health highlights the history of medicine through the study of the horse. The horse has been one of the most important animals throughout human history, and healing horses has had an important place in veterinary and medical literature. Theories about equine physiology and health often mirrored theories about humans, and the literature of both was inherently linked. Bloodletting, astrology, and ancient texts were used by both physicians and veterinarians to heal their patients, and many discoveries, including the circulation of the blood, developed in tandem.
In addition to showing the historical study of anatomy, the exhibit also demonstrates an early example of “one medicine.”
