SALES-GIRONS (Jean)
Th?rapeutique Respiratoire. Instruction sur l'instrument pulverisateur des liquides m?dicamenteux, ses applications au traitement des maladies de poitrine et la mani?re de s'en servir, par M. le Dr Sales-Girons...
Second edition, 32pp., 3 illustrs., in the text of the apparatus described, light water stain to lower outer margin, recent quarter calf. Sales-Girons (1808-79) instructions for the newly invented nebulizer. "Atomizers (also known as nebulizers) were developed in the mid-1800s in France and were thought to be an outgrowth of the perfume industry as well as a response to the fashion of inhaling thermal waters at spas. Dr Auphon Euget-Les Bain invented the atomizer in 1849, and in 1858 Jean Sales-Girons introduced a portable nebulizer. Dr Sales-Girons won the silver prize of the Paris Academy of Science in 1858 for his invention, which used a pump handle to draw liquid from the reservoir and force it through a nozzle against a plate. At that time, spa therapy was very popular in France, and the Sales-Girons "pulverisateur" was invented to allow those patients who could not attend the thermal baths to benefit from treatment."?Anderson.

PEART (Edward)
The Generation of Animal Heat, Investigated. With an introduction, in which is an attempt to point out, and ascertain, the elementary principles, and fundamental laws of nature; and apply them to the explanation, of some of the most interesting operations, and striking appearances of chemistry.
First edition, [2], xxix, [1, blank], [31]-114, [2, errata leaf]pp., old faint neat stamp to title-page, recent quarter calf over marbled paper boards. Edward Peart (1755/6?1824), physician and writer on science and medicine... chiefly known for his works on physical and chemical theory... In his first work, 'The Generation of Animal Heat' (1788), Peart explained all chemical and physical phenomena by assuming the existence of four elements?aether, phlogiston, the acid principle, and earth... [He] revives the idea of John Mayow that animal combustion takes place in the substance of the muscle and not in the lung, as Lavoisier thought. In the same book he sees clearly that the constant temperature of animals in exercise and at rest must be due to a correlation of various functions, and investigates the matter experimentally in a somewhat rough way. The formula 'excitability of the muscular fibres is the great characteristic of life in animals' is still accepted. (DNB).
