About this Item

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.
