To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Where the modern physician prescribes quinine for fever, his ancient predecessors prescribed the simple word "Abracadabra, " written on a- piece of paper, which was swallowed by the patient, whereupon the fever was expected to leave the body. Small triangular slips of paper, upon which words from the Bible were written by consecrated hands, were taken by women in difficult confinements. The belief was current that the executioner, as the servant of death, could issue passports for the latter, w...hich would protect the bearer from the History of Ancient Pharmacy, hangman, from death and wounds. The use of these passports with them still prevailed among the soldiery of the Thirty-years War. The methods and notions involved in the preparation of amulets demonstrate what a powerful factor astrology was at one time in medicine.
The custom of casting the patient's horoscope was almost universal during the Middle Ages. On the notion of a relation- ship between the metals and the planets, elsewhere described, a metal was frequently chosen as a remedy, which bore the same name as the planet which most frequently entered the constella- tion associated with the patient's being.
