[CELINE, Louis-Ferdinand] DESTOUCHES, Dr. Louis. Quinine in - Lot 167
[CELINE, Louis-Ferdinand] DESTOUCHES, Dr. Louis. Quinine in therapeutics. Published in Paris by Librairie O. Doin in 1925. In twelve / In-12 paperback (16 x 12cm). VIII-138-(3 catalog) pages. Two wet spots (one in center and one at head of pages). New printing in the same month as the original edition of this popular medical text that Céline (1894-1961) wrote after his 1924 thesis. While the first edition is recorded at 5,800 copies, this one is numbered 5867-6-1925 in the book and 5867-7-1925 on the back cover. The latter contains no copyright notice. The book's historical introduction is followed by a chemical, physiological and therapeutic study of quinine. But "from the classical practice of the profession to his forays into social medicine and [this work cited] here, we can guess that Céline, more than a doctor, wanted to be a researcher..." (Lucie Coignerai-Devillers in "Louis-Ferdinand Céline et la pharmacie" in Revue d'histoire de la pharmacie, 1986). Bookplate of a Montpellier pharmacy on the title page. An interesting copy at the crossroads of the June 1925 self-prints and the July 1925 large print runs.
