Laveran's paper: pp. 627-630. First printing of the paper in which Laveran - in detail - described the agents responsible for malaria - the discovery was first announced in a small note in "Bulletin de l’Académie de Médecine". On November 6th, 1880, while examining the blood of a patient, without any staining and using a x40 objective, he saw for the first time a number of filiform elements, flagellum-like, which moved with great vivacity around a pigmented, spherical body. Seventeen days after the discovery Laveran sent a note describing his discovery to the National Academy of Medicine of France. This discovery was exemplary in the simplicity of the means used and by the fact that Laveran's work went against all the theories then accepted by the greatest scholars of the time. Laveran was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine (1907) for the discovery of the agent of malaria.The offered issue contains another interesting paper ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL "Sur un appareil permettant de déterminer, sans douleur pour le patient, la position d'un projectile de plomb ou d'autre métal dans le corps humain.", pp. 625-627 with 2 illustrations showing the electrical apparatus by which Bell tried to detect the bullit which murdered president Garfield.
