[Clinical medicine of P. F. von Siebold]

The author elucidates some aspects of the clinical medicine of P.F. von Siebold (1796-1866) by studying a manuscript titled "Rampō-kuden, namely, dictative teaching of Dutch medicine by P.F. von Siebold", which has not been studied enough yet. From this manuscript the author considers the descriptions about cancers, gynecological diseases, syphilitic diseases, urinary diseases, ophthalmic diseases, skin diseases, pulmonary diseases, gastrointestinal diseases and osteo-articular diseases, and thereby shows the concepts and therapeutic techniques of P.F. von Siebold regarding these diseases. To make his therapeutics more clearly understood, the author comments on blood-letting, opiates, emetics, purgatives, peruvian bark, digitalis, physiotherapy, abdominal paracentesis and surgical operations written in this manuscript.
