Description: 1768 LXXXVI, 736 pp. 8vo. Contemp. calf. Zurich, Füesslin & Compagnie, 1768. Tissot's (1728-1797) "Avis au peuple sur sa santé" (Lausanne 1761) which gained him fame and which was translated into thirteen European languages. The present German edition was translated by the Zurich physician Johann Caspar Hirzel (1725-1803). Written for the lay public by the Lausanne practitioner and hygienist Tissot, this treatise on popular medicine is a typical product of the health education movement that grew out of the didactic, humanitarian and selfimproving impulses of the Enlightenment. - Zachert/Zeidler 1669; Garrison, History of Medicine, 367; cf.
