‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- TRES BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- LES DEUX TOMES SONT EN EDITIONS ORIGINALES ---- HEIRS OF HIPPOCRATES N° 1575 : "Physician, journalist, and poet, Fabre studied medicine at Montpellier and took his medical degree at Paris in 1824. He practiced for some years in Marseille and then returned to Paris where he taught, practiced and edited several prestigious medical journals during his career. Fabre wrote this satirical attack on the French medical system in the form of twenty-five long poems, written in rhyming couplets. The author ridicules doctors, medical students, hospitals and clinics, animal magnetism, homeopathy, medical examinations, the French Academy of Sciences, phrenology, midwives, and even the funeral services for Dupuytren, although Fabre admired his great achievements... The book is ILLUSTRATED BY THIRTY WOODCUTS together with many smaller vignettes BY Honoré DAUMIER. ALL THE ILLUSTRATIONS ARE ORIGINALS BY DAUMIER, DRAWN ESPECIALLY FOR THIS BOOK" ---- Norman n° 747**2020/E1‎
