The content of the book isn't, which typically means text is free game...
but actual scanned images can be copyrighted. (or so I recall the gist of it
from
Project Gutenberg and Distributed Proofreaders discussion- IANAL)

The medical topics in Wikipedia are woefully under-filled (probably because
people are wary about that whole thing of being considered a source of
medical advice, and it's very heavy stuff)... I think this would be a
tremendous boost. And yes, we can always clean it up as we go. It's easier
to restyle and reformat something than to supply it in the first place.

So I'd suggest putting in as much text as possible, but I'm unsure about
images
from there. Alternatively, there might be a PD scan out there
somewhere... and if not, it might be something relatively easy to find. I've
got some used book contacts, I can look around and see if I can snag a copy
cheap. If so, I can scan in any images needed.
