Description
“Very scarce first edition of the small publication on “”l’irritation””. In 1828 was published his large rapport:\n”” DE L’IRRITATION ET DE LA FOLIE OUVRAGE DANS LEQUEL LES RAPPORTS …”” The above is a small first attempt on the same. Ackerknecht :””Modern scientific medicine starts with the work of the Paris Clinical School in the first half of the 19th century.”” After mentioning the contributions of Louis, Bretonneau, and Andral, Ackerknecht states “”the revolutionary break with the past and the new characteristic orientation towards lesions and localism was effectuated by none of these men, but by Broussais, the inventor of `physiological medicine.'”” “
