Sold

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.
