The present work is a review of the remedies in use in Ferrara against tuberculosis in the 1800s. The work started from the discovery of accounts describing methods and remedies. These remedies were also in use world wide. Of particular interest is the work by Antonio Campana, a famous professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Botany in Ferrara, who wrote a pharmacopoeia which had several editions between 1797 and 1841. The Farmacopea Ferrarese was addressed to the apothecaries of Ferrara. Nevertheless, due to its great reputation it had an international distribution. It provided us with an exhaustive view about the medical field in Ferrara in the early 1800s. The remedies adopted in the city in the second half of the century were in line with those present abroad. The work was also supported by the discovery of statistical accounts of the Sant'Anna hospital from 1871. The manuscript written by Alessandro Bennati enabled elucidation of the methods used to treat tuberculosis in the second half of the century. Bennati's work is an historical document completed by the work of the physician Cesare Minerbi.
本著作是对19世纪费拉拉治疗结核病所使用药物的综述。这项工作始于发现描述治疗方法和药物的记录。这些药物在世界各地也都有使用。特别值得关注的是费拉拉著名的药物化学与植物学教授安东尼奥·坎帕纳的著作，他编写了一部药典，在1797年至1841年间有多个版本。《费拉拉药典》是面向费拉拉药剂师的。然而，由于其声誉极高，得以在国际上发行。它为我们提供了19世纪初费拉拉医学领域的详尽情况。该世纪下半叶该市采用的药物与国外的药物一致。这项工作还得到了1871年圣安娜医院统计记录的支持。亚历山德罗·贝纳蒂撰写的手稿有助于阐明该世纪下半叶治疗结核病所采用的方法。贝纳蒂的著作是一份历史文献，由医生切萨雷·米内尔比的工作加以完善。
