SUMMARY
Wellcome Collection digitized copy (Public Domain Mark), 2nd English edition, translated by R. M. Theobald, M.A., M.R.C.S. Directly fetched via the work's IIIF presentation manifest (individual page images inspected visually, not machine-text-fetched, so quotes from this volume's page images are not put in a verify-quotes block). Contains Theobald's preface to the first edition, which reports his own uncontrolled recovery case (a young woman with 'marasmus') as evidence for the remedies -- the case E. W. Berridge later examined and rejected in the homeopathic press (see berridge-matteism-latest-craze-1888) -- and the author's preface to the English translation, a letter from Mattei to Theobald dated 'Rochetta, 15 Oct., 1887,' placing his correspondence at Rochetta on that date. The dateline establishes the correspondence location only, not residence. The title page (page image 0007 of the digitized volume) is used in this bundle as an artifact-role Media asset.
NOTES

Primary published statement of Mattei’s system in English translation, used for the title-page artifact image, Theobald’s preface (the specific uncontrolled case Berridge later critiqued), and the 1887 Rochetta dateline on Mattei’s letter to his translator.
