Early 1900's NYC ambulance

[Disp51]

Dr. Elizabeth Bruyn, sitting in the back of a horse drawn ambulance. Dr. Bryun was an ambulance surgeon in New York City in the early 1900's. On her first day at work in 1910, she saved the life of a baby who had been overcome by gas from a leak in an apartment.
