Cornelius Friedrich A Complete Account of a Most Remarkable Illness, Accompanied by the Most Severe Gangrene in Certain External Parts of the Body: Together with a necessary refutation of various unfounded prejudices regarding this disease that have been publicly circulated.

V, 182 (without mention of the present work). - Not listed in Blake. - Essentially a defence treatise. Schweitzer was accused of having ‘treated in an incorrect manner’ a patient suffering from urinary or kidney stones accompanied by inflammatory fever.

He later served as physician to the Prince of Nassau and, finally, as town physician in Wetzlar. - Faint watermark along the edge. This lot is subject to standard tax.
