Synopsis
From Witchcraft to Antisepsis: A Study in Antithesis is a book written by Douglas Guthrie that explores the evolution of medical practices from the belief in witchcraft and superstition to the use of antiseptics and modern medicine. The book examines the historical context of these practices and the cultural beliefs that influenced them.
