Meeting of three rare works on the analysis of mineral waters around L'Aigle (Saint-Santin, Gauville, Irai ...).
The mineral waters of Saint-Santin were discovered in 1598 and met with some success in the 17th century, then were forgotten. The progress of 18th century chemistry led two doctors from L'Aigle to dispute their analysis and try to promote their therapeutic interest, but the mineral waters of the country of L'Aigle will again fall into oblivion.
A very good copy.
