Le medecin de soi-meme ou l'art de conserver la santé par l'instinct
Le medecin de soi-meme is a 1682 French medical guide published at Leiden by Henry Drummond and attributed to M. Devaux, written for lay readers seeking to keep healthy. Its pictures are small, crisp engraved vignettes: a bust of Hippocrates in an oval seal, a tortoise in a bordered oval with the motto Paulatim, a painter and cherub at an easel, and a stamped royal surgeons' academy bookplate, offering a designer compact emblem-style devices, ornamental frames and classical portraiture.
