Print on Demand. This book is a collection of case studies and observations on puerperal fever, a dangerous and often fatal disease that affects women after childbirth. The author, a respected medical professional, presents evidence that turpentine, a substance previously used as a solvent and antiseptic, is an effective treatment for this disease. The book presents 21 case studies in which turpentine was used to treat puerperal fever, with 15 of the patients recovering and 6 dying. The author acknowledges that the cause of puerperal fever is still unknown, but suggests that it may be caused by the absorption of putrid secretions from the uterus. The book concludes by recommending the use of turpentine as a treatment for puerperal fever, and emphasizes the importance of preventive measures such as ensuring that the bowels are clear before labor and washing out the vagina daily during the flow of the lochia. This book provides valuable insights into the treatment of puerperal fever, shedding light on a condition that was once a major threat to women's lives. 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. …

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
