SOCIETE DE MEDECINE ET DE PHARMACIE DE LA HAUTE-VIENNE || LE LIMOUSIN MEDICAL. Journal de la Société de Médecine & de Pharmacie de la Haute-Vienne - Le Limousin médical. 1876-1913.

First edition.

At the end of the nineteenth century, a young doctor published a specialized journal focused on the medical news of Limoges and its region.
It is first published under the title "Revue médicale de Limoges" between 1867 and 1874 (stop of publication between October 1869 and August 1872) by a doctor alone.
In 1876, the publication resumed thanks to a collective of doctors of the Society of Medicine and Pharmacy of the Haute-Vienne, in order to maintain and transmit their knowledge and their observations.
It is the beginning of a large-scale specialized journal on a regional scale, which is published under the title "Journal de la Société de Médecine & de Pharmacie de la Haute-Vienne" which became in March 1891 "Le Limousin médical" (its publication stopped in 1914).
These medical records are ran over 47 years.

The 37 volumes of this medical journal belonged to Dr. Henri Boulland, who was General Secretary of the Society of Medicine and Pharmacy of Haute-Vienne; as shown by the signature of the physician on the first pastedowns of the volumes of the years 1893 and 1913, and the handwritten note signed by his hand in the volume of the year 1889.

The handwritten note is the explanation of a case in which Dr. Henri Boulland had to creat the first artificial pneumo-thorax, made in Limoges (September 1888).
