Description from L.A. Brown's1959 catalog: "This is a small model of an actual case of a "host-parasite" relationship. Gould & Pyle (Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine, 1901) make the following statement on page 193, 'An analogous case [analogous to Laloo] was that of A-Ke,' a Chinaman, who was exhibited in London early in the century, and of whom and his parasite anatomic models are seen in our museums.' This particular model is made of plaster and it was prepared by Dr. Miller in 1832 for his medical museum."Collection
