 Medical Theory of Stahl. p. 260. 



Among those who embraced either the whole or a part of 

 the Stahlian doctrine, Paul Joseph Barthez is entitled to 

 respectful notice. His work De Principio Vitali llominis^ 

 published in 1773, and his Nova Doctr'ma de Functionibus 

 Naturae Humante, published in 1774, both deserve to be 

 commended as indications of acuteness and ingenuity. 



Doubts have been suggested whether Gaubius was reallv 

 a follower of Stahl. Dr. Haller represents him as cau~ 

 ius vivy et in reeipiendis opimonibus difficilis. He is said, at

 might have borrowed his celebrated doctrine.

 any professional fees, being supported by his annual stipend ; 

 that he cured the Emperor Charles Vl. and Frederick I. 

 King of Prussia, of inveterate diseases ; and tliat he had a 

 very accurate and extensive knowledge, for that day, of the 

 nature and virtues of mineral waters, Hoffman survived 

 Ills 80th year; and his works were piinted at Geneva, in sli^ 

 volumes folio, in 1740.
