Burggraeve, the aged and learned Belgian physician was the founder of Dosimetric medicine, and author of some outstanding works (.i.a. a magnificent study on Vesalius, cf. Choulant). In 1876 he published his major work, "Rpertoire universlle de mdecine dosimtrique" and traveled widely in Europe to popularize the theory detailed in the book of chemotherapy based on alkaloids. In the present manual, he strongly advocate the use of coffee.-(Besides some dust soiling to the wrappers and some scattered foxing, a fine copy with ample margins). Rare.
