About This Item
Paris: Imprimerie Nationale, 1906. 10" x 12.75" b/w engraving as shown; faint stamp on reverse. Jean-Baptiste Bouillaud (16 September 1796-29 October 1881) was a French physician, an early advocate of the drug digitalis for treatment of heart ailments. He referred to digitalis as the "opium of the heart". Along with cardiologist Pierre Potain (18251901), he performed studies of "heart sounds" involving the differentiation between normal and abnormal heart rhythms. Bouilland was an ardent follower of François-Joseph-Victor Broussais (17721838) in regard to the dubious practice of bloodletting. In 1825 Bouillaud published "Traité clinique et physiologique de l'encéphalite, ou inflammation du cerveau" in which he includes one of the earliest studies on localization of brain functions. He maintained that loss of articulate speech was associated with lesions of the anterior lobe. . 1st. Unbound. Very Good. Illus. by B/w Engraving. 10" x 12.75".
