Title: Recherches anatomiques et physiologiques sur les ovaires
Author: NEGRIER, Charles
Seller: Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description: Paris, 1840. FIRST EDITION. 11 full-page lithographed plates. Contemporary gilt red sheep-backed marbled boards, edges sprinkled red. Old bookseller label of A. Maloine. Light foxing, but otherwise a good copy. [With:] Recueil de faits pour server a l’histoire des ovaires et des affections hystériques de la femme. Angers: Cosnier and Lachèse 1858. 8vo. viii, 176 pp. First editions of these two landmark medical texts on the human ovaries which shifted the clinical opinion of the uterus being the most important organ of the female reproductive system. In the first, Negrier asserts for the first time the link between menstruation and ovulation and describes the shrunken and atrophied nature of the ovaries in women who have ceased menstruation through case studies. He examined the organs after the women’s deaths from unrelated causes; these accounts represent the first thorough documentation of normal post-menopausal ovaries. The second text attempts to link hysteria to ovarian function. Negrier states that the inflammation and contracting of the ovary during menses causes mood swings, abdominal discomfort, depression, and nervousness: “Death would be preferable to this painful existence to this state of perpetual nervous troubles; with this erotic madness, sometimes appalling and distressing stupidity is associated, which makes miserable young girls populate our hospitals” (p. 159, tr.). Charles Negrier (1792-1862) was a French physician who coined the term menopause. His career began as a military surgeon, but he later returned to his hometown of Angers to teach at l’École de Médecine et Pharmacie.
