I have repeatedly Observed, however, that if the animal was aban doued to his fate after the glass had been removed, after an applica tion of it for an hour or more, that death took place as soon afterwards as it ordinarily did when no vacuum had been formed.

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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780260128607_0
