Primitive Physic: An Easy And Natural Method of Curing Most Diseases - Paperback

by Tarl Warwick (Editor), John Wesley (Author)

The Primitive Physic of John Wesley was first crafted in the middle of the 1700s; more than a century later it remained in print in several forms, a testament to its continued use as a tract of folk medicine, proto-homeopathy, and its function as a general pragmatic herbal of sorts. Proposing treatments (receipts) for over one hundred conditions and diseases, including both the chronic and acute, the fatal and the annoying, Wesley's work must of necessity be included in any competent catalog of herbal or early medical works of note.
