Exposition systématique de tous les médicamens qui on été soumis à l'expérience pour reconnaitre leur véritable action. 

s.l., s.n., 1831.

Manuscript proposing one of the first directories of homeopathic medicines in the French language through a translation of the work by Georg Adolph Weber: "Systematische Darstellung der reinen Arzneiwirkungen aller bisher geprüften Symptome" published in German in 1831.
The work will not be published in French only in 1833 with a translation by the Swiss homeopath Peschier under the title "Systematic exposition of the pure pathogenetic effects of all the remedies put to date in experience" (Geneva, Cherbuliez, 1833).
Our manuscript uses the same two-part structure as the German edition and should probably precede the French edition. The binding is typical of the 1830s, we are thus at the very beginning of the development of homeopathy in Europe under the impetus of the German school directed by Hannemahn (1755-1843) of whom Weber was a disciple.
It is in Switzerland and in Lyon that homeopathy in French language develops, Count Sébastien Des Guidi creates in 1830 the Homeopathic Society Lyonnaise and opens its consultations, there are 5 or 6 homeopaths in France in 1832 then 25 in 1833, 52 in 1835. (Cf. Bariety, "The beginnings of homeopathy in France", 1969)

Witness to the beginnings of homeopathy in France.

First french edition.
Fontana relates numerous experiments in which he injects venoms and poisons into animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, etc.). The majority of the work is devoted to a systematic study of viper venom but it also addresses plant poisons, such as Ticunas (probably Curare) reported on poisoned arrows from the Amazon. He is thus one of the first to approach toxicology experimentally.

"Tolet, lithotomist at l'Hôpital de la Charité in Paris, first published this work in 1682. After many editions, this book remains as a classic contribution to the subject.[...] In Tolet's day lithotomy was one of the major and most dangerous of operations. Explicit directions are given for the operation in children as well as adults of both sexes. Particularly stressed is the need for careful restraint of the patient during surgery using strong assistants, straps, scarves, or cloths. The lesser and greater lateral perineal operations in men and women are described and illustrated. Among the many causes of the stone, the author named unleavened bread, waterfowl, curds, pap, old cheese, hard eggs, unripe fruits, the feet or legs of beef or pork, salted or spiced meats, and medicines which dehydrate the body. The plates depicted instruments, positioning of the patient, the use of the curved metal catheter, the making of the incision, and use of extracting clamps." (Heirs of Hippocrate).
The edition is illustrated with 18 plates drawn and engraved by Lalouette (instruments, operating positions, stones, etc.) and a portrait of Tolet by Maillet.
"François TOLLET (1647-1724) surgeon of King Louis XIV left a very didactic treatise on lithotomy. He helped to bring bladder size into a" regulated "surgery." (History of urology by the Association française d'urologie).

First french edition published juste after the first latin edition.

More than that, the exposure of these intermediate cases between life and death opens the way to a new discipline of medicine.

First edition.
The first French book promoting Quinine for the treatment of fevers.
If Europe already knew cinchona, it was the English doctor Talbot who managed to make it popular.
"Talbot had found a way to present cinchona in such a way that it did not put off the sick. [...] Since 1678 he had been the personal physician of King Charles II, had come to France during that same year to look after little Mademoiselle. [...] He treats the dauphin and the whole royal family, and he is amply rewarded by the king who grants him naturalization." (Talbot, popularizer of cinchona in France: M. Bouvet, in Bulletin of Pharmacological Sciences, 1934. In: Revue d'histoire de la pharmacie, 22nd year, n°86, 1934. pp. 307-308.)

Following the relapse of some patients he had treated, we turned away of him and he returns to England taking with him his fortune and the secret of his "English remedy".
The king then asked Nicolas de Blegny, his doctor, to publish this book delivering the recipe for the preparation and use of quinine. A chapter is also devoted to the history and use of opium.
