Lectures on Anesthetics and on Asphyxia by Claude Bernard with an introduction by translator B. Raymond Fink, M.D., 1989.

You have a unique opportunity to rediscover a classic.

This book was originally published in Paris in 1875.  It consists of a series of lectures given at the College de France and provides a unique view of the early development of the scientific study of anesthesia by one of history’s foremost physiologists.

This text was never before translated into English until the late B. Raymond Fink, M.D., assumed the task.  The anesthesiologist instinct and erudite interpretation of Bernard’s work makes this English edition a medical classic in itself.  This book is sure to be a collector’s item when its limited supply is exhausted.
