Manuscript by Ambroise Tranquille Sassard, in French, on the treatment of pain in medicine that was published later in the October 1780 issue of Le Journal de Physique de l'Abbe Rozier. There is a handwritten note by Sassard that translates to "I was 28 years old when I wrote and published this dissertation."
