Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the efficacy and functionality of cupping glasses in treating poisoned wounds, based on the author's experiments using poisons such as strychnine, cyanide, and arsenic. The author argues that poisoning is preventable as long as atmospheric pressure is disrupted, such as with the application of a cupping glass, through a series of experiments on rabbits and dogs. The author presents a theory of absorption which claims that it is not a vital function, but rather a physical effect caused by atmospheric pressure. While the conclusions drawn by the author contrast with those of other physicians, the book presents valuable insights on the prevention and treatment of poisoned wounds, offering a unique perspective on a subject historically shrouded in uncertainty.
