First french edition published juste after the first latin edition.
The French translation is by Jacques Jean Bruhier who is sometimes credited as the sole author of the book.
Book that will terrify the whole of Europe at the idea that we could be buried still alive and which will come for some to give an explanation to the phenomena of vampirism.
More than that, the exposure of these intermediate cases between life and death opens the way to a new discipline of medicine.

Manuscript proposing one of the first directories of homeopathic medicines in the French language through a translation of the work by Georg Adolph Weber: "Systematische Darstellung der reinen Arzneiwirkungen aller bisher geprüften Symptome" published in German in 1831.
The work will not be published in French only in 1833 with a translation by the Swiss homeopath Peschier under the title "Systematic exposition of the pure pathogenetic effects of all the remedies put to date in experience" (Geneva, Cherbuliez, 1833).
Our manuscript uses the same two-part structure as the German edition and should probably precede the French edition. The binding is typical of the 1830s, we are thus at the very beginning of the development of homeopathy in Europe under the impetus of the German school directed by Hannemahn (1755-1843) of whom Weber was a disciple.
It is in Switzerland and in Lyon that homeopathy in French language develops, Count Sébastien Des Guidi creates in 1830 the Homeopathic Society Lyonnaise and opens its consultations, there are 5 or 6 homeopaths in France in 1832 then 25 in 1833, 52 in 1835. (Cf. Bariety, "The beginnings of homeopathy in France", 1969)

Witness to the beginnings of homeopathy in France.

Traite de la Lithotomie ou l'Extraction de la Pierre hors de la vessie.

600 €

"Tolet, lithotomist at l'Hôpital de la Charité in Paris, first published this work in 1682. After many editions, this book remains as a classic contribution to the subject.[...] In Tolet's day lithotomy was one of the major and most dangerous of operations. Explicit directions are given for the operation in children as well as adults of both sexes. Particularly stressed is the need for careful restraint of the patient during surgery using strong assistants, straps, scarves, or cloths. The lesser and greater lateral perineal operations in men and women are described and illustrated. Among the many causes of the stone, the author named unleavened bread, waterfowl, curds, pap, old cheese, hard eggs, unripe fruits, the feet or legs of beef or pork, salted or spiced meats, and medicines which dehydrate the body. The plates depicted instruments, positioning of the patient, the use of the curved metal catheter, the making of the incision, and use of extracting clamps." (Heirs of Hippocrate).
The edition is illustrated with 18 plates drawn and engraved by Lalouette (instruments, operating positions, stones, etc.) and a portrait of Tolet by Maillet.
"François TOLLET (1647-1724) surgeon of King Louis XIV left a very didactic treatise on lithotomy. He helped to bring bladder size into a" regulated "surgery." (History of urology by the Association française d'urologie).
