ANTOINE DE BORDEU (1693-1777) Recherches sur les maladies chroniques : leurs rapports avec les maladies aiguës, leurs périodes, leur nature, & sur la maniere dont on les traite aux eaux minérales de Bareges, & des autres sources de l'Aquitaine / par Messire Antoine de Bordeu ...

Bordeu has been called the founder of endocrinology and of modern hydrotherapy: this volume includes contributions to both of these fields. “De Bordeu first conceived the idea of internal secretion by his hypothesis that every organ, tissue, and cell discharges into the blood products which influence other parts of the body.” (Garrison-MKorton, citing section 6 ‘Analyse médicale du sang’, pp. 346-588, in this volume).
