PAVLOV, Ivan Petrovich (1849-1936). Die Arbeit der Verdauungsdrsen. Translated by A. Walther. Wiesbaden: J. F. Bergmann, 1898. 8o. Numerous text illustrations. 4pp. publisher's catalogue of C.W. Kreidel and J.F. Bergmann bound in at rear. Original blue printed wrappers, uncut (minor soiling). First Edition in German, and the First Edition in any Western European language. Pavlov, director of the department of physiology at the St Petersburg Institute of Experimental Medicine since 1891, pursued his study of the physiology of digestive glands to reach conclusions important not only for medicine but also for politics and social sciences. Friedrich Bidder and Carl Schmidt had shown in 1852 that the sight of food produced a copious flow of gastric juice in a gastrostomized dog and Pavlov was able to confirm this finding by creating fistulas not only of the stomach, but also of the pancreas, the intestine and the salivary glands. These proved that the nervous channels, and not the actual introduction of food, produced the flow of gastric juices, a process he named "psychic secretion". After he published his observations, but before receiving the Nobel Prize for his work in 1904, he further noted that the dogs in his laboratory secreted gastric juices at the mere expectation of food, at the approach of routine feeding times. He labelled this the "conditioned reflex", and deduced from this that many reactions of the human mind, not only to the physical but the conceptual (such as religion or freedom) were also conditioned reflexes. Dibner Heralds of Science 135; Heirs of Hippocrates 2129; Waller 7257; Norman 1664. -- The work of the digestive glands. Translated into English by W.H. Thompson. London: Charles Griffin, 1902. 8o.
