Franklin Chase Clark, “A Contribution to the Study of Medicine<\/a>“, Detroit Medical Journal<\/em>, October 1877, Vol. 2. No.10. A long learned article from Lovecraft’s uncle (the nice one), on the emergence of medicine from the well of superstition…<\/p>\n

“In an old medical work, published in London as long ago as 1711, and used as a vade mecum by students and practitioners generally, is the following prescription for the cure of stone. I give in its original spelling and crudeness : <\/p>\n

“Take Blood of a Goat, four or five Pound ; the urine of a healthy young Lad and of a Goat, of each five or six Pints ; Wood-Lice, bruised, three pints ; Seeds of Parsley, Commin, Juniper Berries and black Radish Roots, of each four ounces ; Winter Cherries, number sixty or seventy; Herb arsemart. Parsley, Leaves of Birch, Rue and Burdock, of each two Handfulls ; Juice of Birch, Arsemart, Fenil and Wild Tansey, of each one Pint ; digest these together in a warm Place for four or five days. Then distil and draw off a Gallon or five Quarts, which keep close topped for use. Of this Liquor give two ounces with the like Quantity of good White Wine, every Morning, Noon and Night.” <\/p>\n

This remarkable prescription without doubt, produced some, if not the desired, effect.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the Biliotheca Sacra<\/em> journal (1908), he has a historical article “The Rise of the Toleration Movement”<\/a>, tracing the rise of religious toleration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
