Nouveau traité des vapeurs, ou traité des maladies des nerfs.

Second edition.
The "vapors" mental disorder popularized by Pierre Pomme, foreshadows what will be discussed under the term Hysteria in the 19th century.

"Contrary to Pomme, Pressavin does not condemn passions without restriction [...] vapors would correspond to a dysfunction of the relational system which binds living beings to the outside world; vapors can just as easily be passionate, in the grip of an overexcited sensitivity , that an indifferent, vegetating in a state of torpor. " Paul Hoffmann, "The Woman in the Thought of Lights", Slatkine, 1995

Two works in first edition by the same author in one volume:

I - FUSTER, Changes in the climate of France, history of its meteorological revolutions, Paris, Capelle, 1845

"The climate of France has changed and is changing"
Quite fascinating historiographical work on the French climate since the Gauls until the XIXth century.
One of the final chapters entitled "The action of meteorological phenomena and the human industry as causes of changes in our climate" sounds like a strange echo 150 years before the IPCC reports.

II- FUSTER, Diseases of France in their relationships with the seasons, or medical and meteorological history of France, Paris, Dufart, 1840

"The subject of this book is still new: no one has dealt with the diseases of France; no one has considered these diseases in their relationship with the seasons. But it is between us something more than "a new application of principles already known; it is, above all, the search for these principles. How do the seasons work; determine the diseases in correspondence with their action? Here is the problem first. The history of the seasons and diseases of France will follow and must follow the solution of these two questions. "

While the seasonality of viral infections is always a concern.

At the end of the nineteenth century, a young doctor published a specialized journal focused on the medical news of Limoges and its region.

In 1876, the publication resumed thanks to a collective of doctors of the Society of Medicine and Pharmacy of the Haute-Vienne, in order to maintain and transmit their knowledge and their observations.
It is the beginning of a large-scale specialized journal on a regional scale, which is published under the title "Journal de la Société de Médecine & de Pharmacie de la Haute-Vienne" which became in March 1891 "Le Limousin médical" (its publication stopped in 1914).
These medical records are ran over 47 years.

The 37 volumes of this medical journal belonged to Dr. Henri Boulland, who was General Secretary of the Society of Medicine and Pharmacy of Haute-Vienne; as shown by the signature of the physician on the first pastedowns of the volumes of the years 1893 and 1913, and the handwritten note signed by his hand in the volume of the year 1889.
