Many recipes from this manual can be an addition to modern methods of treatment, but can only be used on the advice of a doctor. The book contains 1154 recipes instead of the indicated 1250 - apparently, Professor F. Loevsky took into account references to repetitions of recipes. The publication is printed without abbreviations, changes or amendments, only the signs Ъ and ъ are excluded, and the endings of words are given a modern sound. The register of herbs is supplemented with Latin names, and German ones are omitted. For ease of use, appendices are provided at the end. Designed for a wide range of readers.
