Excerpt from A New Receipt Book for the Treatment of All Kinds of Cancer Without Cutting, Burning or Loss of Blood
In my opening chapter I will make a brief survey of the ground I expect to cover and give to the public an adequate idea of this disease in its worst forms and its fatality to the human race.
Cancer like fever appears under different forms and authorities differ on the number of kinds of cancer - some going so far as to put the number at eight others down to five. In my practice of more than thirty years I have come across what I would pronounce seven different varieties. Some noted physicians often call tumors, cancers, which if added would swell the number much larger. These tumors are the can cers which the eminent surgeon points to as successfully removed by his knife. True the cure was effected in the proper way but it was no cancer.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical understanding and treatment of cancer during a time when the disease was often viewed as an inevitable death sentence. The author, drawing on over thirty years of medical experience, challenges the then-prevailing belief that surgery was the only option for cancer patients, arguing that it merely addressed the symptoms rather than the root cause. Instead, the author presents a holistic approach to cancer treatment, emphasizing the importance of addressing the disease's origins in "bad blood" through internal remedies alongside external applications. The book explores various types of cancer, including scirrhus, encephaloid, colloid, and epithelial cancers, providing detailed descriptions of symptoms and corresponding treatment methods for each. Beyond cancer-specific treatments, this book offers insights into the broader context of 19th-century medical practices and beliefs. It sheds light on the limited understanding of cancer during that era, the prevailing reliance on surgery and harsh treatments, and the emergence of alternative approaches that emphasized natural remedies and holistic healing. In a time when cancer was shrouded in fear and misunderstanding, this book offered a beacon of hope and a fresh perspective on treating this devastating disease. Its insights into historical medical practices and the enduring search for effective cancer treatments continue to resonate in the present day. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
