Reader comments

This book is very rich in content and records the treatment methods of many diseases. The medicines are simple, inexpensive and very practical. Hua Tuo's medical skills were really superb, and he was very knowledgeable about pathology and diagnosis. The book also mentioned some of his unique therapies, such as using Mafei powder for surgery, which opened my eyes. However, he emphasized that doctors should have medical ethics and not be greedy for money, which I very much agree with. This book is of great reference value for people studying medicine.
