Two interesting French medical texts, including Millot's treatise on procreation, notable for its six engraved plates, five of which depict medical anomalies, mostly conjoined twins, and a dissertation by Dr. Deveze concerning the 1793 and 1797 Yellow Fever epidemics in Philadelphia.

Both covers nearly detached and very tender, spine leather peeling off, extremities rubbed; internal foxing and offsetting, some ill creasing to plates; overall good.
