what this represents in terms of the history of burn treatment and where things stood.

And he wrote this about his own experience.
And he was the editor of a journal.
And he was like, I need to tell everyone about this, like all of these.
And I think the realization that he came to was like,

Yeah.
The article, if you're interested, is titled History of Two Cases of Burn Producing Serious Constitutional Irritations by Daniel Drake.
It was published in 1830.
And the paper that I found this in was called Daniel Drake's Account of His Own Hand Burns by Eric Mooney.
That was published in like 1998, I think.
So yeah, truly awful stuff.
