Fontana relates numerous experiments in which he injects venoms and poisons into animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, etc.). The majority of the work is devoted to a systematic study of viper venom but it also addresses plant poisons, such as Ticunas (probably Curare) reported on poisoned arrows from the Amazon. He is thus one of the first to approach toxicology experimentally.

Born in Leipzig in 1640, Johannis Bohn, was named professor of anatomy in 1668.

Bohn was one of the most distinguished physicians of the seventeenth century. He works on all branches of medical science, but he became famous for the works he composed on the physiology and forensic science.
Fourth edition of "Circulus anatomical-physiologicus" - "complete system of physiology in which the author takes the man with the original formation of the embryo, and the following functions in the natural order of development. Partisans reserved the iatrogenic mechanism, it admits as proven the idea that the movement of the heart can be compared to that of a hydraulic machine, but he blames the views of Borelli, that during systole of the ventricles, the atria contract and close completely .... "(Dezeimeris).
"Bohn experimented on the decapited frog, declaring the reflex phenomena to be entirely material and mechanical, the general view of the time being that "vital spirits" were present in the nerve-fluid. Bohn showed that the nerves do not contain a "nerve juice". (Morton).

Thesis presented by Guillaume Dupuytren for the competition for the chair of operative medicine. He won the competition and thus became professor of operative medicine at the Hotel Dieu in 1812.
First surgeon of the king under Charles X and Louis-Philippe. He was elected member of the Academy of Sciences in 1825.

He performed and perfected almost all surgical operations. We owe him several new operations in the 19th century, notably the healing of the intestine in strangulated hernias.
Dupuytren leaves his name to the "Fracture of Dupuytren" and to the "disease of Dupuytren".

Histoire de la Lithotritie précédée de réflexions sur la dissolution des calculs urinaires. 

Paris, J-B. Baillière, 1839.
More Details >
450 €

First edition.
Leroy D'Etiolles is considered to be the inventor of the lithotripter, a surgical instrument whose function is lithotripsy. Lithotripsy is the act of reducing urinary stones directly into the bladder rather than opening the bladder to extract them, which was much less invasive for the patient. This principle is still used today.

The book traces the history of lithotripter, how the instruments were gradually improved by the various doctors of the time. Many diagrams in the text of the instrumentation and the difficulties encountered in their manufacture.

The last part of the book discusses the dissolution of urinary stones by vichy water.
