It originated with the so-called "weapon salve" attributed to Paracelsus, which applied to the weapon that caused a wound would cure the wound at a distance through the power of sympathy. It is a testament to the great interest in the phenomenon and the sheer mass of literature on the subject that this third edition of a collection of writings on sympathetic medicine contains 26 works, up from 4 in the first edition only two years earlier.
