In 12°; (4), IX, (3), 130 (ma 187), (2) pp. Bella legatura coeva in tutta pelle maculata. Dorso a 4 nervi con titolo e fregi in oro al dorso (qualche piccolo forellino di tarlo al dorso, ininfluente). Tagli spruzzati di rosso. Il barone Antoine Portal (Gaillac, 5 gennaio 1742 – Parigi, 23 luglio 1832) fu un celebre medico, anatomista, professore universitario, biologo, storico della medicina e scrittore francese. Professore di anatomia al Collège de France e poi al Jardin du roi, nonché fondatore dell’Académie Nationale de Médecine, fu il medico personale di tutti vari sovrani di Francia. La sua opera più importante fu l’Histoire de l’anatomie et de la chirurgie. Secondo Garrison-Morton, Portal “improved the obstetric forceps, [and] was a famous teacher in Paris”. Qui viene presentata la prima edizione stampata a Yverdon nel 1779 del suo celebre studio dedicato alla rabbia ed al modo di curarla. L’autore prende lo spunto dallo stato confusionale degli studi sulla materia e dalle cure utilizzate per trattarla spesso più legate a leggende e tradizioni popolari che a vere e proprie conoscenze mediche. Portal riordina così in modo corretto e sistematico le conoscenze scientifiche sull’argomento e propone cure reali ed efficaci coma l’immediata cauterizzazione delle ferite, l’utilizzo di preparati a base di antimonio, lo strofinamento con unguenti mercuriali ed anche una dieta a base di verdure. L’autore, fra i primi in assoluto, definisce la rabbia come una malattia del sistema nervoso, comparando la natura dell’agente infettivo a quello della sifilide, tubercolosi. In fondo al volume un’appendice bibliografica, contenente la serie delle “Ouvrages sur la rage et les traitmens divers contre cette maladie”. L’opera ebbe un notevole successo e varie riedizioni. ” Tra gli scrittori francesi del XVIII secolo interessati alla rabbia è da segnalarsi Antoine Portal (1742-1832) che ci ha lasciato uno dei più importanti contributi sull’argomento” ( Theodorides “Storia della rabbia”, 1986, p. 121). Esemplare in ottime condizioni di conservazione ed in bella legatura coeva. Dezeimeris, III/p. 750; Wellcome, IV/p. 418.
First edition, 8vo (215 x 140 mm), [4], viii, 77, [1], 4, 10pp., including two addenda, 'Hydrophobic Syringe' & 'Horse Provender', half-title, one engraved plate 'Hydrophobic Injection', recent morocco-backed patterned paper boards, spine gilt lettered direct. Henry Sully was surgeon to Wiveliscombe Infirmiary and to the Duke of Cumberland. This work records a number of local rabies cases and repeats directions given earlier by Somerset doctors that the effects of rabies can be prevented if the saliva is wiped away and the bite thoroughly washed. Washing the wound with antiseptic is still the first treatment for rabies. The understanding of rabies did not progress until Louis Pasteur published 'Sur la Rage' in 1881. The article on Horse Provender is about Sully's system for feeding horse chaff via a chute from a loft above the stable.

Scarce large-format paperback 109 pages 50 b&w figures in text glossy paper throughout NOT ex-library. Published in a limited edition of 500 copies. Limited minor handling wear only. Clean and bright throughout with unmarked text free of inscriptions and stamps firmly bound. -- This work reviews fossil remains of the booid snakes except for the Erycinae known from 38 sites located in eight European countries and ranging in age from the middle Oligocene MP 25 to middle Miocene MN 78. Of them 30 localities in this number all Oligocene localities are situated in France and Germany. Most fossil finds have been described or redescribed in detail; among them one new genus and eight new species have been described. Also fossil remains coming from several localities and not identified below the family level have been briefly described. In addition the taxonomic status of six snake species all 'nomina dubia' described from unknown localities of the Phosphorites du Quercy complex in classical works has been discussed. The final chapter discusses in detail all main events of the history of the European Booidea including Erycinae beginning in the period around the 'Grande Coupure' at the Eocene / Oligocene boundary and ending with the extinction of last boas and pythons that took place in the middle Miocene. The early Oligocene snake fauna was composed of both survivors and newcomers from the East . <br/> <br/> Institute of Systematics and Evolution of Animals PAN paperback

THIS IS CONSIDERED PASTEUR'S GREATEST TRIUMPH Garrison & Morton No. 2541."The central problem in establishing a science of immunology was to discover methods of lowering the pathogenicity of the antigens while preserving their immunogenicity. In the case of smallpox Jenner this was done according to the accepted interpretation by utilizing strains accidentally attenuated through animal passage. In the present paper famous paper the first paper offered Pasteur shows how for a disease of wide distribution among mammals attenuation may be accomplished artificially."Hall "A Source Book in animal Biology" pp. 528 ff."Pasteur revealed the enormous medical and economic potential of experimental biology. He himself developed only one treatment directly applicable to a human disease - his treatment for rabies - but his widely publicized and highly successful efforts on behalf of the germ theory were immediately credited with saving much money and many lives. It is for this reason above all that he was recognized and honored during his lifetime and that his name remains a household word."
