He specialized [...] in the treatment of dropsy, which he claimed to cure with tonic pills composed of 2/7 black hellebore, 2/7 myrrh and 3/7 powdered blessed charcoal. Dr. Bacher advocated the use of his pills in a number of advertising publications, the first of which dates back to 1767. In 1772, Bacher published his specific formula." (D.B.F. IV-p. 1074). 3 (Balneotherapy). FLEURY (Dr. Louis-Joseph-Désiré): Traité pratique et raisonné d'hydrothérapie.

Some foxing, one plate skilfully restored without missing. First edition. 4. Collection of various pieces printed to date, relating to the anti-psoric discovery of J. Mettemberg, [...]. Some make known his successes, confirmed by official experiments and by a host of supporting evidence; others highlight the obstacles he faced, and the manner in which he overcame them. Paris, L'Auteur, Ventôse an XIII = February 1805. One volume. 12 by 19.5 cm. Multiple pagination. Contemporary full speckled basane, ornate smooth spine, red title-piece, gilt Greek frieze framing the boards, gilt edges. Small hole at bottom of lower spine. Six pieces. Details on request. P. Labrude, Joseph Sigisbert Mandel (1749 - 1820) [...], one of Nancy's greatest pharmacists of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. "Mettemberg water, or "anti-psoric quintessence", is a secret medicine, hence the name "secret remedy", used to treat scabies. It was proposed in 1794 (year III) by the former military surgeon Joseph Mettemberg. This external remedy was widely used, and its author enjoyed a great deal of support [particularly in government ministries]. In 1801 or 1802, Mandel was "approached by a fellow doctor" who was "experiencing serious accidents as a result of the external use of this specific drug" [...]. [...] At the public meeting of the Société de Santé held on 2 Messidor An X (June 21 1802), in the presence of the Prefect of the Meurthe department, he presented the results of his analyses of the drug, concluding: "It was with the greatest surprise that I discovered that the base of this specific was one of the most deleterious, one of the most active poisons known, muriate of mercury suroxygenated, today called corrosive sublimated mercury". Mandel was not mistaken about the toxicity of this compound, now called mercuric chloride, which did not prevent the water from continuing its long career". (P. Labrude). This collection illustrates the controversy between the inventor and his detractors.
