Abrasions of the covers, spine cracked, local browning of the paper (visible especially at the end). Two-color title page, red and black. The work of Balthasar Tralles (1708-1797), a Wroclaw physician and scholar (also a poet). He studied in Leipzig and Leiden, later in Halle, where he received his doctorate in medicine and surgery. After practicing in Dresden for several years, he returned to his native Breslau. "In 1762 he did not accept the proposal of Stanislaw Leszczynski, who wanted to have him as his personal physician. In 1765-1767 he stayed in Warsaw as a physician at the court of Stanislaw August" (Wikipedia). The work presented here deals with pharmacy, the author revises many of the previous views in this field, proposing more rational solutions. Rare.
