Help me find this website with a collection of odd, bizarre medical cases

Years ago I came upon his website that had a massive collection of the most bizarre, incredible cases in medical history. Most were very old, cases that happened tens of years ago, before there were all these advanced exams and resources. The cases were separated by nature, like birth/delivery, extra limbs, cerebral, etc.

Any of you seen this site around the web lately?

Mutter Museum?

Yea, Mutter Museum in Philadelphia. They have skeletal remains and petrified colons and all kinds of nasty pictures if you are into that sort of thing.

No... not that one. It wasn't linked to anything like a museum or a hospital, as far as I remember.

Oh, and it was mostly text, with some sort of old medical illustrations. No actual pictures.

Was it a book? Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine?
