XIV-295 pp demi-basane bleu nuit moderne à la bradel, couvertures et dos conservés 1850, 1850, in-8, XIV-295 pp, demi-basane bleu nuit moderne à la bradel, couvertures et dos conservés, Envoi de l'auteur en première de couverture. Édition originale de cet important traité, peu courant, sur l'intoxication par le plomb. Jean-Louis Brachet (1789-1858) étudia la colique de plomb dès 1824, en publiant son opinion sur le siège et la nature de cette maladie dans le Journal général de médecine ; il en fit l'objet de ses leçons après avoir admis en clinique onze cas d'intoxications en 1845. « After a long history of the ills suffered by workers in contact with lead, Brachet attributed a pathophysiology to saturnism involving the "ganglionated nervous system". As a sanitarian, Brachet recommended replacing ceruse with zinc white to reduce the toxicity of paints ». Médecin et chirurgien lyonnais, Jean-Louis Brachet est avant tout connu pour ses recherches en neurophysiologie, en particulier sur l'hystérie. Cachet ex-libris du Dr Carrier de Lyon. Bon exemplaire, en dépit de légères rousseurs pâles et de quelques feuillets brunis. O. Walusinski, "Jean-Louis Brachet (1789-1858). A forgotten contributor to early 19th century neurology".
