A single injection promised youth restored: in the late 1800s, Dr Charles-Edouard Brown-Séquard's elixir sparked a sensation across Victorian medical circles. The "Elixir of Life." Dr. Brown-Séguard's Own Account, curated by Newell Dunbar, offers an extraordinary window into the fervour and controversy surrounding one of the era's most notorious anti-ageing treatments. Here, readers encounter not only Brown-Séquard's own testimony, but also Dr Variot's revealing experiments and the lively commentary of both the profession and the press - all set against the backdrop of 19th century medical history. This volume is a rare artefact for those fascinated by Victorian scientific experiments and historical medical remedies. It traces the hopes and scepticism that defined medical rejuvenation theories, as Victorian medical enthusiasts debated the boundaries of science and the promise of renewed vitality. Dunbar's careful compilation captures the voice of a transformative age, when the search for an elixir of youth was as much about ambition as it was about discovery. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Whether you are drawn by the history of medicine, the curiosities of Victorian era science, or the enduring allure of medical marvels, this book stands as a testament to the boldness and complexity of late 1800s medical practices.
