Reader comments
I especially like the prescriptions for dysentery in the book. It feels very scientific to choose different pills according to the condition. There is also the anti-malarial powder, which sounds magical and only needs to be taken once to be effective. In short, this book is very helpful in treating some diseases in our daily life and is worth recommending!
