Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Of all the afflictions to which the human body is heir there is none that is capable of inflicting such exquisite torture upon its victims as rheumatism. In the days of the persecutions an iron statue of the Virgin Mary was made so that the arms would enfold the victim and pierce him with many wounds. Thrust into the arms of the iron Virgin, the poor heretic was soon jabbed by knives that issued from the inner sides of the arms and by a pointed tongue that issued from the mouth. It was intended to illustrate the contempt of the Virgin Mary for those who turned their back upon the pope. But that suffering was nothing compared with the pain that the hot-footed devils of torture thrust into the joints and ligaments and muscles of a rheumatic patient. The agonies of the victim of the ancient statue were all of the same kind; the agonies of the rheumatic are almost as varied as the attacks are numerous.
