[Oriental and European medicine in the local historian Masamichi Teraishi's book].

There was a prevalence of beriberi in the Meiji era. We found articles about Souhaku ASADA, Syouan TOUDA and Jun MATSUMOTO in the Toukayogeidan, written by Masamichi TERAISHI. The book tells about the treatment and its side effects. This book reveals that Doumei YAKAZU's investigation was correct. It is of interest to learn from this book how one patient consulted doctors in the Meiji era and talked about the treatment and side effects of the doctors.
