Fourth edition.

François Broussais (1772-1838) was a French doctor and surgeon of the Revolution and the Empire, known at one time as the "Emperor of Medicine" under the Restoration.
He is the author of a new medical doctrine, abandoned after his death, the "Broussais system" which consists in the theory that all pathologies are the consequences of tissue irritation and inflammation.
In this book, Broussais lays the foundations of this doctrine.

Original manuscript in French.
This manuscript reproduces the course given by Jean Astruc (1684-1766), who held the chair of medicine at the Collège royal from 1731.
This teaching on abdominal diseases, from hiccups to hemorrhoids, was never published by Astruc. However, several manuscript copies are known under the title Traité des Maladies du bas ventre.
The medical content of our manuscript is identical to the digitized copies of the BIU Santé (Ms 2116) and the Collège de France (XV 8° 375). Most of the chapter headings are similar, although there are some differences in the structure (some chapters are grouped together, others are separated).
Finally, our copy extends to the question of hemorrhoids, which is absent from the Ms2116 manuscript (present in that of the Collège de France), but omits the question of intestinal worms, which are usually found in this course (present in both aforementioned manuscripts).
On the front flyleaf, the following handwritten ex libris is found: "hic liber attinet ad me Lagilardo" (or Lagilardie?).

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.

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The work will not be published in French only in 1833 with a translation by the Swiss homeopath Peschier under the title "Systematic exposition of the pure pathogenetic effects of all the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.
