First Edition of a pioneering work on the influence of nutrition on the blood. Nasse, professor of physiology at the University of Marburg, is best known for giving the first clear description of anemia in pregnancy (1836; see Garrison-Morton.com 3115) and for being one of the first to bserve blood platelets. The present work on food’s influence on the blood is regarded as one of Nasse’s chief publications. The recipient of this presentation copy may have been Theodor Ludwig Wilhelm von Bischoff, a German biologist and physician who made important contributions to embryology. “Death of Professor Hermann Nasse,” Lancet (16 July 1892), p. 175.
