About this work

Description

Illustrated with a coloured drawing in crayon (fol. 5) of a syphilitic face, and numerous rough pen-and-pencil drawings of bandages, syringes, and other medical instruments, etc. Some of the entries are written in pencil, and there are some blank leaves. This note-book of an anonymous French physician contains medical receipts, remarks on cases, some with words and sentences in cypher: also notes on diseases and treatment, especially of skin and venereal maladies. Some of the bandages and apparatus seem to be of the compiler's own invention.
