- Black and white reproduction of the title page of Index medicus, first edition, published in 1879. Image caption on page 28 of the book US National Library of Medicine: "Title page of Index Medicus, first edition, 1879. Produced monthly beginning in January, 1879, the Index Medicus was issued by two successive publishers before 1895, both of whom incurred debts. Though it provided timely indexed subject listings of the most current medical literature, medical professionals only very slowly learned to appreciate the Index's value. Up to 1895, it never had more than 500 subscribers."
