‎EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL ENVOI AUTOGRAPHE DE WALLER au célèbre physiologiste français L. LAPICQUE qui mit au point des méthodes de stimulation électrique qui lui ont permis de découvrir la chronaxie - L'ENVOI DE WALLER est ainsi formulé : "L. LAPICQUE FROM A.D. WALLER, VIENNE SEPTEMBER 1910" ---- Cet ouvrage contient la reproduction du premier électrogramme humain pratiquait par Waller en 1889. "Augustus Désiré Waller réalisa le premier électro-cardiogramme humain en utilisant l'électromètre capillaie de Lippman" ---- "Waller's most important contributions to medicine were in the field of electro-physiology. He was the first to demonstrate that the currents set up by the beating of the heart in animals could be recorded without opening the thorax. He was the first, also to obtain an electrocardiogram of the action of the human heart... Waller is also remembered for his observations on the effects of gases and anesthetic vapors on the irritability of nerves and muscles...". (Willius & Key pp. 653/655) ---- cf. Garrison N° 833 & 1279‎
