About This Item
London: S. Highley, 1841. Softcover. Good. 180, [2] p. 23 cm blue paper wrapper. Spine deteriorated and chipped. Ink notation and label on front cover. Inscription on title page. Text pages clean and unmarked.
Though John Hughes Bennett (1812-1875) is best remembered today for the first description of leukemia, he also advanced medical science in other ways. He opposed blood-letting, supported the admission of women to medical schools, was an outstanding teacher, and has been called the founder of physiology. His advocacy of cod liver oil as a therapeutic agent is perhaps less well known. G&M 1858.
