Essai clinique sur l'action des eaux thermales sulfureuses de Bagnères-de-Luchon dans le traitement des accidents consécutifs de la syphilis. 170pp. 2 plates, 3 folding tables. Paris: J.-B. Baillière; Toulouse: Gimet, 1854. Presentation Copy, inscribed to Ricord on the half-title: "A Monsieur le docteur Ricord hommage respectueux et reconnaissant de l'auteur Pégot." Together 3 works in 1. 215 x 128 mm. 19th-century quarter morocco, mottled boards, light wear. Minor toning, inscription in Pégot's work a bit trimmed, small holes in one of the plates in the same work but very good. First Edition in French of Lee's work; First Editions of Payan's and Pégot's works. Lee was a professor of surgical pathology at St. George's Hospital in London; his Lectures on Syphilitic and Vaccino-Syphilitic Inoculation originally appeared in 1854, with a second edition following in 1863. He followed Ricord in distinguishing between gonorrhea and syphilis and in dividing the latter into simple (non-infecting) and constitutional (infecting) types. He experimented with "syphilization"-the inoculation of a subject with infected material in order to convey immunity-which had been introduced in the 1840s by Auzias-Turenne; Ricord initially supported this practice but later condemned it (correctly) as dangerous. The second work in this collection, Payan's treatise on the use of potassium iodide in the treatment of syphilis, is quite scarce, with only one copy (Bibl. Genève) cited in OCLC. The final work promotes the thermal springs at the spa town of Bagnères-de-Luchon as a treatment for syphilitic symptoms. .…
