DUCHENNE DE BOULOGNE, Guillaume (1806-1875). De l'Électrisation Localisée et de son application a la physiologie, a la pathologie et a la thérapeutique. Paris: J.-B. Ballière, 1855.

8vo. Half-title; numerous wood-engraved text illustrations. (Occasional minor marginal foxing). Contemporary quarter morocco, marbled boards, spine gilt (minor rubbing to extremities).

FIRST EDITION. Duchenne proved electricity to be an essential tool for the study of the physiology of muscles in the body, and also a means of diagnosis. He was able to identify previously unknown diseases, distinguishing between progressive muscular atrophy, labioglossolaryngeal paralysis, progressive muscular atrophy with pseudohypertrophy, and locomotor ataxia. "Duchenne classified the electrophysiology of the entire muscular system and summed up his findings in the above work. The application of his results to pathological conditions marks him as the founder of electrotherapy” (Garrison & Morton).

Garrison & Morton 614; Heirs of Hippocrates 1690; Osler 2511; Waller 2604; Norman 659.
