Maladies et remèdes d'autrefois dans le Maine

Diary (1921-1959) of Georges Gente, Cardinal-Archbishop of Le Mans

Did our diseases and epidemics of today exist in the past? This book answers this question and many others, with over 500 accounts of more than 60 illnesses suffered by our ancestors: cancer, measles, rabies, typhoid, and epidemics of dysentery, plague, and so on. The book covers a wide range of treatments, including water treatment, not forgetting midwives, surgeons and doctors.
