Astruc, J.  A Treatise on the Diseases of Women (1762-67).

Astruc's work is most important now for its historical orientation to 18th century practice.  However, the work does contain a description of septicemia caused by uterine infection and puerperal fever, tubal pregnancies, and ovarian cysts, among other conditions.  Astruc was a very clear and methodical teacher whose medical lectures were widely known in Europe.  He was also a scholar in other fields, such as biblical studies, and frequented the intellectually active salons of Paris.
