Ten handwritten sheets, in French, of instructions to help diagnose and treat various illnesses. Some include descriptions of physical symptoms and the diseases they indicate. Others describe the procedures for preparing and administering medical treatments, including one to ‘purify the blood.’ Another provides the exact measurements of each ingredient in an ‘elixir of health.’ None of the pages includes a date.
