The first book blank books into movies

Hermann Boerhaave (1668-1738)

Herman Boerhaave is considered one of the most influential clinicians and teachers of eighteenth century. It has come to be known as the "Hippocrates Dutch. His research and the merits you can see in the literature.

But today we are going to have a curiosity about so famous "doctor, botanist and humanist and a book that he wrote when he died in 1738.

apparently left the book sealed with the catchy title of "The unique secrets and deepest in the medical art" .

The book was auctioned for $ 20,000 shortly after gold.

The new owner was quick to unseal his new acquisition in search, perhaps, a foolproof manual.

What he found was that all the pages except the first were blank.

It only advice I could read the whole work:

"Keep a cool head, warm feet and will impoverish the Best doctor in the world "

As shown, the blank books is not new. Nor do very well stop the medical profession, which has triggered so much suspicion over the story.
