Beschreibung

Mezzotint, n.p., n.d., fecit H. Jacobé, 152 x 100 mm. Anton von Störck was an Austrian physician (1731-1803) studied medicine under Gerard van Swieten in Vienna, and received his degree in 1757. He is remembered for his clinical research of various herbs, and their associated toxicity levels and medicinal properties . His studies are considered to be a forerunner of experimental pharmacology. He was convinced that plants regarded as poisonous still were still useful in controlled quantities. Störck was particularly interested in the medical possibilities of plants such as hemlock, henbane, jimsonweed and autumn crocus. His experiments with these plants involved a three-step process; initially used on animals, followed by a personal trial, and finally given to his patients, all the while maintaining a "sliding-scale" approach to determine the optimum dosage. see - Ino Kenki by Choshun Adachi (1832) Portr.
