This marvelous old histology recipe book was a great rarity before the
Web, though it's actually now available from Amazon. It took me
several years to find a copy in 1976 - found one in a consignment of
old books discarded from the library of a long-defunct college.

A note about the title: Vade-Mecum (pronounced something like
voddy-make-um) - literally "come with me" (think of "Quo Vadis) is an
old word for a practical handbook of something.
