Box 3 > Volume RL10050-V-23

Scope and content:

Notebook is divided into three sections, all lectures given by physician Oku Ressai but recorded by different students. A title in the text appearing at the bottom of the notebook indicates that this notebook was bound once before, but re-bound later, at which time the first and second halves were mistakenly switched. The characters thus are divided in half, with the bottom half of the characters appearing on top and vice versa.

Contents
