Lisboa. 1863. - GOMES (Bernardino António) ELEMENTOS de Pharmacologia Geral ou Principios Geraes de Materia Médica e de Therapeutica . Segunda Edição, Correcta e Augmentada. Lisboa: Typographia da Academia, 1863. [8], 402, [2] pp.; 210 mm. Second edition, corrected and enlarged. Bernardino António Gomes (Lisbon, September 22, 1806 - Lisbon, April 8, 1877), namesake son of the botanist and physician Bernardino António Gomes Sr. (1768-1823), graduated in Medicine from the University of Paris and in Mathematics from the University of Coimbra. He was a professor of Medicine, Materia Medica, and Pharmacy at the Lisbon Medical-Surgical School, a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and a physician to the Royal Chamber. He distinguished himself by being the first Portuguese physician to use chloroform in a surgical procedure, on January 12, 1848, and by introducing the use of creosote and the first ether inhalation apparatus in Portugal. He was the founder and for many years the main editor of the Gazeta Médica , which began in 1853, and co-founder of the Jornal da Sociedade de Ciências Médicas de Lisboa . He chaired the committee responsible for drafting the Portuguese Pharmacopoeia of 1876, the first organized by a committee of selected doctors and chemists. The Elements of General Pharmacology constitute a systematization of the author's lectures at the Lisbon Medical-Surgical School, updated with contemporary knowledge, and include a historical introduction on the phases of pharmacological knowledge. A reference work for nineteenth-century Portuguese medical education. Highly regarded. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate ¶ Inocêncio, v.1, p. 361
