Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Popular Science Monthly, 1883, Vol. 23
The Medical Rose offers a peculiar and very approved remedy for epilepsy. Advis ing the patient to stand upright, saying the Lord's prayer with the mouth wide open to prevent the first attack, and informing na that a lunatic, an epileptic, and a demoniac were the some, he gives the following sacrophysical directions: Whenothe patient and his parents have fasted three days, let them conduct him to a church. If he be of a proper age and in his right senses, let him confess. Then let him hear mass on Friday, during the fast of quatuor temporum, and also on Saturday. Oh Sunday let a good and religious priest read over his head in church the gospel which is read in September in the time of vintage, after the feast of the Holy Cross. After this, let the same priest write the same gospel devoutly, and let the patient wear it about his neck, and he shall be cured. The gospel is, This kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.' Rosa Anglica, p. 78, edition 1491; ih., p. 415, edition 1595 - quoted in Willcock's Laws of the Medi cal Profession, p. 25, edition 71 338 S aw'

Excerpt from The Popular Science Monthly, 1883, Vol. 23
The only way it is possible to explain the evidence of Browne and Wiseman is that they were ardent royalists, and held the efiicacy of the royal touch to be as much a party tenet as the divine right of kings, and that by doing so they pleased the court and so advanced their own interests. Had they doubted it, they would have incurred the suspicion of being disaffected to the government.* Failures of cure were attributed, as in our own day, to want of faith, as one writer puts it, none ever failed of receiving benefit unless their little faith and credulity starved their merits.
