Notes:
Rarissima edizione originale. In quest'opera il medico svizzero, esponente della scuola iatrochimica, si propone di spiegare il funzionamento e la chimica del corpo umano; interessanti le ipotesi sull'anatomia ghiandolare e sulla circolazione del sangue, ove sono riprese le ricerche di Harvey. Partington: "D. Beddevole... distinguished five degrees of fermentation: boiling, elevation, sparkling, effervescence, and exhalation; he supposed that blood contains phlegm, volatile sulphur, volatile alkali, fixed alkali, and a small quantity of acid disengaged by the fixed alkali, and the nervous fluid is composed of sulphur and volatile alkali." Hirsch, I, 419; Partington, II, 297. Manca a Wellcome, Osler, Walleriana, che possiedono solo le edizioni successive. No in Norman.
