Abstract: The authors review modern academic theories as to the efficacy of Anglo-Saxon medical remedies, and report on their own experiment in compounding some of these remedies and testing them in vitro against common disease-causing bacteria. They conclude that the remedies would not be biologically effective against the infectious agents they were intended to combat.
