Medicinische und Chirurgische Schrifften, nemlich: I. Oeconomia animalis, oder Unterricht von der Geburt, Nahrung und Wachhum des Menschen. II. The newly invented art of healing or Chirurgia.

Leipzig, Th. Fritsch, 1705, first German edition. - Not listed in Waller and Blake. - The medical and surgical writings of the Dutch physician H. Overkamp (1651-1693). With an extensive chapter on "Speiß und Tranck", including a discussion of the question of why tobacco satisfies hunger. The last chapter of the book is of interest for the history of venereal diseases, in which Overkamp recommends two different methods for curing syphilis. "The first lasts for six months and is a sweating cure, during which a decoction or extract of guaiac wood is administered for seven days, and on the eighth day six pills containing 10 granules of white mercury precipitate. The other method consists of a salivation cure. As you can see: Overkamp was not far removed from Fournier's 'Methode des traitements successifs' of today" (Proksch, Geschichte der venerischen Krankh. I, 294). - Binding stained, lower part of spine with taped tear. Without closing bands. Evenly browned throughout, without the front flyleaf. The preface lacks vols.
