A propos de cet article

While rooted in 18th-century medical theory, i.e.humoral theory and the artificial evacuations of fluids like blood, sweat, urine, etcetera,Lobb?s work is valuable for understanding the evolution of fever treatment, the application of anatomy and physiology to clinical practice, and the historical development of medical reasoning. It remains a primary source for historians of medicine and for those studying the transition from humoral to more modern medical thought. Condition: VG+ for a nearly 300-year-old book (many would say NF or Fine due to the scarce beauty of still having fresh, bright white pages) Rational Methods of Curing Fevers: Deduced from the Structure, and Oeconomy of Human Bodies, and the different states of the Solids, and Fluids, under the different classes of Fevers. Together with a particular Account of the Effects of Artificial Evacuations by Bleeding, Vomiting, Purging, Sweating, and Blistering, etc. With Practical Rules deduced from them, shewing inn what Cases they are proper, and may be beneficial; and in what, they are improper, and will be hurtful. By Theopilus Lobb, M.D. and Fellow of the Royal Society. BOOK INFO Published in 1734 by John Oswald in London. First edition. Bound in contemporary full calf. Boards with single gilt roll paneling. Spine with raised bands ruled in gilt and a gilt-lettered leather spine label. All edges speckled red. Octavo, 9" x 6". Collated and complete: xiv, [2], xv-xxii, [2], 403, [37] pp. All three copper engraved plates. Woodcut head- and tail-pieces and a few embellished initials. Written in English with the occasional Latin medical terminology. High-quality, white, cotton-rag paper. CONDITION REPORT VG+ condition for a nearly 300-year-old book. Complete. Exterior and binding: square spine, firm hinges and joints, tight pages. A few stains to page edges. Some skinning to leather. Bumped corners. Relatively light edge wear given the age. Spine sun-darkened and a bit dry. Most of the original gilt work is intact. Interior: Grubby first few and last few pages. Pages are remarkably fresh and bright white, as if printed yesterday. Former owner (M. Moorhouse, an 18th century physician from Aylesbury, England per the note on the FFEP) name in ink on FFEP and title page. Faded contemporary ink inscription on rear blank. A clearly referenced work by physicians - signs of handling like thumbing, creasing, smudges, ink fingerprints, etc. Did not see any foxing, worming or water dampening. Did not see any tears. Many sellers would rate this NF or FINE internally. It is quite beautiful..…
