About This Book

The author surveys the causes, symptoms, and distinguishing features of scrofula (king's evil), scurvy, and cancer, arguing for a particular botanical treatment developed over decades. After outlining clinical signs and proposed aetiologies, he presents a series of concise case histories that illustrate diagnosis, treatment steps, and claimed recoveries under his regimen, with commentary on long-term outcomes. The work emphasizes practical instruction for recognizing these disorders, defends the credibility of the cases against exaggerated attestations, and offers the author's reflections on treatment practice and results.
