A copy of Sir Frederick Treves “The Tale of a Field Hospital” originally published 1900. It was written by Treves during his time at a field hospital during the Second Boer war.

This copy has been custom bound with a lack of identifying information except for the title and author. The book is covered in various stains inside and out with the edges of every page being stained brown by some substance. Pages that have been altered are more filthy then those left unaltered.

The book has been altered from the original text with multiple stories now containing a figure known as Private Amherst who dies from sickness before returning on multiple occasions to interact with Treves to tell him of his revelations of disease.

The book is harmless to read with the true danger of the book coming from the edges of its pages, they are deceptively sharp. Once the reader has been cut by one they will suffer from blood poisoning and die within a few days. This book is a obvious example of the Crawling Rot with sickness and filth heavily associated with it. No further testing is required. It is to be stored in its respective wing and placed on the “do not access” list.
