The Anatomy and Pathology Museum suffered a serious setback in 1907 when a fire destroyed much of the medical building, including all the anatomy collection and two-thirds of the pathology one. Abbott sent an appeal to various museums in the Newsletter of the recently established International Association of Medical Museums, and between April 1907 and July 1910, approximately 3,000 specimens were donated. Among the material donated were the skeletal remains of soldiers from the American Civil War.

Below is one of these specimens.听A conoidal ball, apex downward, is present in a depression in the posterior part of the body and anterior part of the left lamina of the 5th lumbar vertebra, having apparently entered through the 4th and 5th intervertebral foramen The bodies of the vertebrae are ankylosed together. The soldier was 40 years-old when wounded and died 18 years later of unknown cause. An additional 25 specimens can be seen in the list below
