Fairly rare edition of Garnier's best-selling work, successfully adopted by doctors and surgeons for a long time, thanks to the simplicity of consultation in the practical form of a bilingual form.
It brings together countless remedies for as many pathologies, with particular attention to venereal diseases.
The author, a doctor at the Hôtel-Dieu in Lyon, has developed his own classification system to simplify the formulation of remedies for the benefit of doctors and pharmacists. The first edition of this work dates back to 1697, but it was not until the second edition, of 1699, that the important treatise on smallpox was added, meticulously described for the first time, which earned it a excellent notoriety -
