SUMMARY

Internet Archive full-text (OCR) transcription of the 2nd edition of Gliddon's authorized guidebook to Mattei's system, directly fetched. Confirms: Mattei's own conversion to and dissatisfaction with ordinary homeopathy; the dog-and-plant discovery anecdote his circle told about him; the exclusive-distribution warning that no remedies, books, or pamphlets were authorised by Mattei outside the trademarked channel, with the exact wording of the genuine trademark ('RIMEDI ELETTROMIOPATICI DEL CONTE CESARE MATTEI BOLOGNA') printed to guard against counterfeits; the General-Depot/sub-depot/agent contractual distribution structure (London operating as the Central Mattei Depot, 18 Pall Mall East); and promotional language claiming the remedies had already proved their worth 'in various parts of the world during more than a quarter of a century.' OCR quality is imperfect in places (e.g., 'homceopath' for 'homoeopath', 'eniploy' for 'employ'); quotes used verbatim in this bundle were checked against clean OCR passages only.

NOTES

Directly fetched OCR full text of the 1892 English guidebook to Mattei’s system: the primary source in this bundle for the discovery anecdote, the depot/trademark distribution system, and the system’s own promotional claims.
