BOUILLAUD Jean Baptiste Essai sur le diagnostic des anévrismes de l’aorte, et spécialement sur les signes que fournit l’auscultation dans cette maladie.

Not in Waller and Wellcome.

Very rare first edition of Bouillaud's doctoral thesis, which marked the beginning of his career as a cardiologist. An intern in the department of Professor Bertin, whose work on coardiology he was to publish, Bouillaud (1796-1881) paid tribute to the "marvellous resources provided by auscultation for the diagnosis of thoracic affections", thanks to Laënnec's stethoscope.

Title and last leaf slightly dusty.
