    Area of Science:

    • Historical medicine
    • Pharmacology
    • Cultural heritage studies

    Background:

    • Analysis of 20 historical prescriptions attributed to Philipp Franz von Siebold, with 6 from the Siebold's Memorial Museum and 14 from the Municipal Museum of Ohzu City.
    • Identification of 39 distinct drug types used across the prescriptions, with variations in drug forms (e.g., crude, extract, powder) counted separately.

    Discussion:

    • Prescriptions categorized by drug form: powders (6), pills (3), decoctions (2), confections (2), eye drops (2), internal/external use (2), applications (1), solutions (1), and unknown (1).
    • Classification by drug efficacy and disease was challenging due to polypharmacy and symptom-based treatments, but included digestives (4), syphilis-suppuration (3), eye diseases (3), cathartics (2), alteratives/resolvents (2), and others (1 each).

    Key Insights:

    • Siebold's medical practice occurred during the late Tokugawa shogunate in Japan, suggesting limited surviving prescriptions internationally.

  • The study emphasizes the importance of preserving these historical medical documents as significant cultural heritage.

    • Outlook:

    • Further research could explore the specific therapeutic outcomes and comparative efficacy of these historical treatments.
    • Comparative analysis with contemporary pharmacopeias could illuminate the evolution of medical practices in 19th-century Japan.
