Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the use of the American scullcap plant as an antidote for the deadly disease known as hydrophobia. Hydrophobia was typically caused by the bite of a rabid animal. The book's author was the first to use the plant as a preventative, and found it successful against the disease in over 400 cases, with three exceptions. The only animals that exhibited symptoms of rabies after taking the plant were those that had taken insufficient quantities of it. The author also conducted over 100 experiments on animals, administering the scullcap to some and withholding it from others. Rabies developed in every animal that did not take the scullcap, proving its effectiveness as a preventative measure against the disease.
