Couverture rigide. Zustand: Assez bon. Edition originale. Paris, P.F. Didot jeune, 1770 ; 1 vol. in-12 (16,5 x 10 cm), (4), XX, 352 pp., reliure plein veau du temps, dos à nerfs orné, petit manque en tête du dos, coins un peu émoussés, mouillure angulaire claire (sur une cinquantaine de feuillets), ancienne signature ex-libris sur la page de garde et cachet ex-libris au titre (Dr. A . Launay, Havre), assez bon état. Première édition de la traduction française, rare, augmentée d'une préface et de notes du traducteur, et de ce fait intéressante à double titre. Edme-Claude Bourru (1741-1823), qui était alors bibliothécaire de la Faculté de médecine de Paris et qui deviendra docteur-régent de cette faculté, traduisit cet ouvrage de Gilchrist. Dans l'une des notes quil ajouta à cette traduction (pp. 208-209), Bourru exprime pour la première fois l'idée parfaitement nette de la collapsothérapie. Il imagine, le premier, qu'il serait possible d'obtenir la cicatrisation des lésions de tuberculose pulmonaire à l'aide d'un pneumothorax artificiel. Cette méthode thérapeutique est souvent attribuée (en particulier par Garrison & Morton -cf. réf. 3225-) à Forlanini qui la réalisa un siècle plus tard, en 1888. Ebenezer Gilchrist (1708-1774), médecin écossais, fut l'un des premiers ardents défenseurs des voyages en mer pour les personnes atteintes d'affections pulmonaires, notamment de tuberculose, de maladies nerveuses et de diverses affections. Ce moyen thérapeutique avait déjà été proposé dans l'Antiquité et Gilchrist en profite pour noter avec regret l'aversion de ses contemporains pour de nombreux remèdes anciens, comme l'usage du vin dans les fièvres. Il cherche à démontrer les avantages et les bienfaits des voyages en mer, en s'appuyant sur de nombreuses observations. Il estime que l'air marin est plus pur, plus homogène et renferme des particules salines dissoutes. REFERENCES pour les notes de Bourru : Hochberg LA : Thoracic Surgery Before the 20th Century, pp. 159, 378 : "Peyrenny cited Gilchrist as being the forerunner of Carson and Forlanini in suggesting therapeutic pneumothorax in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis; the suggestion belongs to the French translator (Bourru, 1770) and not to Gilchrist. Evidently Bourru took the liberty of adding his own opinions to the translation, of which therapeutic pneumothorax was but one such addition." ; Sakula A : Carlo Forlanini, inventor of artificial pneumothorax for treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis.Thorax,1983, 38, 326-332: "That a pneumothorax might assist the healing of a tuberculous lung was first suggested in 1771 by Edmond Claud Bourru" ; Lindskog GE et al. : Thoracic and cardiovascular surgery with related pathology, p. 248. REFERENCES pour l'ouvrage de Gilchrist : Garrison & Morton, 11158: "Gilchrist recommended sea voyages as treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis and other diseases. Much expanded French translation by Edme-Claude Bourru as 'Utilité des voyages sur mer'. The translator added a recommendation of therapeutic pneumothorax in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculos; Heirs of Hippocrates, 874 (2nd ed.): "it discusses the merits and benefits of the air at sea, histories of cures resulting from exposure to the sea air, and the proper use of sea voyages for health purposes. The author added an appendix concerning the use of the bath in fevers and a supplement containing additional observations on the use of sea trips for health purposes."; Brown L: The story of clinical pulmonary tuberculosis, pp. 235-236 ; The Antiquity of the "sea voyage", The Lancet, vol. 2, part 2, p. 1679 : "One of the earliest in point of date to recommend sea voyages to consumptives and other invalids, such as nervous persons and convalescents, was Ebenezer Gilchrist"; Kevan SM: Quests for cures: a history of tourism for climate and health, Intern. J. biometeorology, 1993, 37, pp 113-124: "The first strong advocate of this form of therapy appears to have been Ebeneezer Gilchrist.". …
