A propos de cet article

Geneve, Barrilot & Fils, 1748, 8°, XII, 1 errata leaf, *129-*144, 145-304 pp; 1 fold. table (after p. *136); 3 fold. plates with 15 figures, contemp. full calf, gilt-ruled covers, raised bands, gilt-stamped spine; ExLibris Andreas Gedeon. Fine copy of the First Edition - THE FIRST USE OF ELECTROCHOCK THERAPY. "Discovery of stimulation of muscles by electricity, and the first proof that paralysis could be successfully treated by electricity." Garrison & Morton This work which gives an account of the first successful use of electricity to reverse paralysis. "After a succinct account of what is known about electricity, Jean Jallabert (1712-1768) describes his observations on how electricity can stimulate muscles and reverse paralysis. Together with Guiot, a leading surgeon, he examines a locksmith called Nogues, and finds him paralysed on the right side as a result of an accidental blow to the head fourteen years before. The man could not move his arm, he had no sensation in it and he had no control over the fingers in his hand. Holding a Leiden jar in his healthy hand and touching it with his paralysed hand, Nogues was treated with electric shocks for over an hour every day. Within two weeks an astonishing improvement in his condition was noted and three months later the patient had regained full use of his arm." Gedeon, Science and technology in Medicine, No. 19 "This comprehensive work embraces the knowledge of the time on electric phenomena and theory; it has been frequently quoted. The author considers electricity to be a subtile, elastic fluid." Wheeler Gift No 349 "He confirms the result obtained by Dr. Watson (A.D. 1745) that the electric fluid takes the shortest course by passing through the substance of a conducting wire instead of along its surface. By making his Leyden experiments with a jar in which the water is frozen, he shows that ice is a conductor of electricity. He improves upon Nollet's experiments, and demonstrates conclusively that plants which are electrified grow faster and have finer stems, etc., than those not electrified. He is the first to observe that a body pointed at one end and round at the other produces different appearances upon the same body, according as the pointed or the rounded end is presented to it.

Ed. 1749); Rowbottom & Susskind, Electricity and Medicine, pp. 16-17 (illustrating the title page); Mottelay, Bibliographical History of Electricity & Magnetism, p. 189; Wheeler 349; " Biog.
