Secret Nostrums and Systems of Medicine (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book offers insight into a collection of secret formulas and systems for the preparation of medications and treatments that were published in medical and pharmaceutical journals prior to 1894. The author's objective is the preservation of these formulas to provide a reference for easy access. Many of the remedies contained within were created by the author, while others are well -known proprietary preparations. The author includes commentary on the chemical analyses of these treatments, sometimes revealing them to be nothing more than simple preparations made from common ingredients. The book exposes the sometimes dubious nature of these products, shedding light on the sometimes misleading claims made by their creators. Ultimately, this book provides valuable historical information on remedies that were created and marketed in the late 1880s and early 1890s.
