In this paper I examine one of Julien Offray de La Mettrie’s most interesting, but also most neglected, medical works,  Observations de médecine pratique  (1743). I attempt both to assess its place in the wider context of eighteenth-century medical Empiricism and Neo-Hippocratism and also to understand to what extent La Mettrie’s call for a medical practice based on observation can be considered as an expression of the long-term intellectual and epistemological process that culminated in the birth of clinical medicine.
