By Rockwell Dennis Hunt

Book Overview

Selected Monographs: Kussmaul And Tenner, Wagner, And Graefe�������s Three Memoirs (1859) is a book that contains a collection of monographs written by Albrecht von Graefe, a prominent German ophthalmologist and founder of the Berlin Ophthalmic Institute. The book includes three of Graefe's most important works: ""Kussmaul and Tenner"", ""Wagner"", and ""Graefe's Three Memoirs"".The first monograph, ""Kussmaul and Tenner"", focuses on the topic of optic neuritis, a condition that causes inflammation of the optic nerve. Graefe describes the symptoms, causes, and treatment of this condition, and presents his own observations and findings on the subject.The second monograph, ""Wagner"", is a detailed study of the anatomy of the eye, particularly the structure and function of the retina. Graefe provides a comprehensive overview of the different layers of the retina, their functions, and the various diseases and conditions that can affect them.The third monograph, ""Graefe's Three Memoirs"", is a collection of Graefe's own memoirs, which provide a fascinating insight into his life and work as a pioneering ophthalmologist. In these memoirs, Graefe discusses his early years, his training and education, and his experiences treating patients with a wide range of eye conditions.Overall, Selected Monographs: Kussmaul And Tenner, Wagner, And Graefe�������s Three Memoirs (1859) is an important historical document that provides valuable insights into the early development of ophthalmology as a medical specialty. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of medicine, and particularly in the field of ophthalmology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
