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.

[HERVEY DE SAINT-DENIS (Marie-Jean-Léon marquis d'). Les Rêves et les moyens de les diriger. Practical observations. Paris, Amyot, 1867. In-8, [1] f., 1 front in color, 496 pp. Red half-basane, smooth threaded spine, gilt title (period binding). Covers and spines slightly rubbed. Without title leaf. The frontispiece and title leaf are reproduced here in facsimile. Underlined in pencil, foxing in places. Cuts restored without loss of text on pp. 351-352 and 353-354. First edition of this rare work rediscovered by the Surrealists, who were fascinated by dreams and the imaginary. Although Hervey de Saint-Denis is better known as a sinologist than as a precursor of Freud, his study of dreams is worthy of note. When he was a teenager, he developed the habit of drawing his dreams: "I soon had a special album, in which the representation of each scene and each figure was accompanied by an explanatory gloss, carefully relating the circumstances that had brought about or followed the appearance". He attempts to elaborate a method "as to the psychology of dreaming in general, and as to the practical means of evoking or dismissing certain ideas-images while asleep, of guiding the mind in its spontaneous or voluntary movements, and finally of conducting one's dreams according to one's desires". He compares his own experience with all the authors who have written on the subject, from antiquity to his contemporaries, before concluding: "if the dream state does not enable us to maintain that intellectual equilibrium which is indispensable for accomplishing a work of the mind which is in every way reasonable, it can at least open up horizons to the ideal world which are unknown in real life". "This very curious book is a skilful summary of the Science of Dreams from the most remote antiquity to the present day, and analyzes all the works of any importance that have appeared on the subject. In addition to numerous anecdotes personal to the author, there are clear and precise instructions for repeating the author's highly unusual experiments in this branch of Psychic Science. It is a veritable Encyclopedia on the subject." Caillet (5123).
