This collection contains one microscope manufactured by Spencer Microscope in Buffalo, New York, for use in World War I. It has a folding tripod base and a black pot metal carrying case.
The papers were assembled from scattered locations among the holdings of Kornhauser Health Sciences Library in 1983, in an effort to make them more accessible for research. The collection includes original manuscripts by the Yandells, and a number of printed pamphlets and journal extracts, as well as photocopies of article by and about the physicians.
