Cautery Tools, Venereal Disease, 16th Century
Ambroise Pare (1510 - December 20, 1590) was a French surgeon, anatomist and inventor. He was royal surgeon for kings Henry II, Francis II, Charles IX and Henry III and is considered one of the fathers of surgery and modern forensic pathology. The 1585 edition of Pare's Oeuvres (Collected Works) represents the final summary of his life's work. It has over twelve hundred folio pages, with nearly four hundred illustrations drawing upon a lifetime of practice. Venereal disease has always been the scourge of armies, and it was no different in Pare's time. Without antibiotics or effective prophylaxis, the only treatment was cautery, burning away the infected or scarred tissue with hot irons. This hair-raising illustration of various cautery tools, complete with a miniature fire, may have served two purposes: illustrating useful tool designs, and warning the unwary about what lay in store.
