title: An important John Shaw Billings find.
abstract: The autograph of John Shaw Billings, dated 1855, was recently found in an 1855 edition of George B. Wood's A Treatise on the Practice of Medicine. This may be the earliest Billings autograph extant, and it is certainly the earliest association of John Shaw Billings with the study of medicine.
