To test snake venom as medicine, Benoit Mure's circle ran experiment after experiment on the rattlesnake Crotalus cascavella and the coral snake Elaps, arranging every recorded symptom after Hahnemann's method. This is homeopathy at its most daring and most Brazilian, a materia medica built from serpents and tropical conviction. A strange, fascinating document from the fringe of nineteenth century medicine, presented as the history it is.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
