Third edition in french, quite rare and printed by Daniel Elzevier (Berhman sup.77)

Descartes considered the human body to be a material machine, directed by a rational soul.
He conceived its functioning based solely on the laws of mechanics, without incorporating metaphysical principles that could not be verified by experiment.
Nearly four centuries later, in the era of transhumanism, this "Traité de l'Homme" has aroused renewed interest in the fields of neuroscience and cognitive science.

First edition.
The first French book promoting Quinine for the treatment of fevers.
If Europe already knew cinchona, it was the English doctor Talbot who managed to make it popular.
"Talbot had found a way to present cinchona in such a way that it did not put off the sick. [...] Since 1678 he had been the personal physician of King Charles II, had come to France during that same year to look after little Mademoiselle. [...] He treats the dauphin and the whole royal family, and he is amply rewarded by the king who grants him naturalization." (Talbot, popularizer of cinchona in France: M. Bouvet, in Bulletin of Pharmacological Sciences, 1934. In: Revue d'histoire de la pharmacie, 22nd year, n°86, 1934. pp. 307-308.)

Following the relapse of some patients he had treated, we turned away of him and he returns to England taking with him his fortune and the secret of his "English remedy".
The king then asked Nicolas de Blegny, his doctor, to publish this book delivering the recipe for the preparation and use of quinine. A chapter is also devoted to the history and use of opium.

"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).

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).
