Description
The late eighteenth century was awash with newly discovered virtues — of plants, waters, minerals — each announced with a sheaf of cases. Salvador Soliva presents his in the accepted form: the substance, its preparation, and the patients on whom it worked. What the genre lacked was any way of knowing whether the patients would have recovered anyway, a question nobody yet knew how to ask. The book is therefore a good specimen of medicine at the moment just before the controlled comparison: earnest, empirical, and structurally unable to distinguish a cure from a coincidence.
