Excerpt from Pyonex, Its Theory and Practice

For many years past I have been using the treatment which is described in the following pages, as a method of alleviating a great many forms of disease, with singularly beneficial results. It was first introduced to my notice while residing abroad, and I may frankly state, that being much occupied at the time with a general practice, I did not take the trouble to look into the matter, more especially inas much as the process of cure which was claimed for it varied so much from the general lines of medical therapy. I treated it, as most of my medical brethren would have done, as a subject of small import. But after the lapse of some months, when I was suffering from chronic dysentery, which utterly refused to yield to any treatment, I was induced, partly out of curiosity, and partly by certain assurances which were made, to try the effect of an application over the abdomen.

I was quite unprepared for the prompt relief which followed. In fact, every dysenteric symptom vanished from the time that the application was made. But when I saw the extraordinary crop of pustules which resulted from the treatment, I ceased to have any surprise that the strong medicines I had been using, had failed to produce the desired result, and came to the conclusion that nothing short of the withdrawal of the toxic purulent matter from the intestines could have produced such a metamorphosis.
