As this may be of interest to all, can I suggest that thE replies are sent

Off the top of my head, in the history of medicine a classic and still
very useful book, which should be widely available although it is not the
journal or review article you request:
A. Cunningham & Perry Wiilliams (eds), The Laboratory Revolution in
Medicine (Cambridge: CUP, 1992).
