Summary
Details

""Counter-irritation, Its Principles and Practice"" by A.B. Granville, originally published in 1838, delves into the therapeutic use of external applications to alleviate a wide range of painful and significant diseases. This historical medical text explores the principles behind counter-irritation, a practice involving the application of irritants to one area of the body to relieve pain or discomfort in another.

Illustrated by one hundred case studies, the book offers detailed accounts of successful treatments achieved through these methods. Granville's work provides valuable insights into the medical practices and theories of the early 19th century, showcasing an approach to healing that relied heavily on external interventions. This treatise is a fascinating resource for those interested in the history of medicine, alternative therapies, and the evolution of dermatological treatments. It reveals the ingenuity and resourcefulness of medical practitioners in a time before modern pharmaceuticals.
