GONDRET, Effets de la pression atmosphérique sur le corps, 1819

First edition.
Gondret presents among the first explanations of the effect of altitude (altitude sickness) on human physiology. He is the first to describe in this work what we know today as the hyperbaric chamber in order to treat people suffering from acute altitude sickness.
The rest of the volume is exclusively devoted to the study of the influence of simple and scarified suction cups.
