Title: Verhandeling over de kenmerken, oorzaken, toevallen, behoedmiddelen en geneeswijze van het onanismus, of de zelfbesmetting, door den heer Tissot. Vermeerderd met een aanhangsel en op nieuw verbeterd door H.J. Schouten, Med. Doct. te Amsterdam.
Description: Amsterdam, Lodewijk van Es, 1827. Original flexible printed boards. (2), xxviii, 270, (2) p. Uncut. Revised and extended 4th edition. Cover repaired, location numbers, some foxing. First published in Latin in 1758 (Tentamen de morbis ex manustupratione), this book by a Swiss medical doctor had an enormous influence on the perception of masturbation in the 18th century. A German and a French translation soon followed, and the first Dutch one in 1771. Tissot's teaching was based on the 'humours' that should be in balance. The humoral theory (from Latin 'humor' and Greek 'chymos', meaning 'juice'), which was already in use at the time of the ancient Greeks and in an ever-renewed form also dominated the Middle Ages and the Modern era. It only fell into disuse definitively in the second half of the 19th century. An uncontrolled ejectment of the wrong fluids, Tissot supposed to be the cause of all sorts of ailments. Fatigue, lethargy and early death are commonly observed symptoms.
