Medicina Statica...

By John Quincy

Medicina Statica, a landmark work originally published in the early 18th century, explores the concept of 'static medicine' and its application to understanding health and disease. Authored by John Quincy, with contributions from James Keill, this treatise delves into the chemical and physical principles underlying bodily functions, reflecting the iatrochemical and iatrophysical schools of thought prevalent during the period.

The book examines various aspects of human physiology and pathology, emphasizing the importance of equilibrium and balance in maintaining health. It provides insights into the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches employed by physicians of the time. Medicina Statica offers a valuable window into the evolution of medical knowledge and the historical context of early scientific medicine, making it an essential resource for historians of science and medicine.
