The Miraculous Fabric
The miraculous , so known Fabric under the name of “Sovereign Fabric” or “Fabric of the priest of Certilleux”, is old a medical Remède. At the origin, the sovereign pomade appeared in the Codex of the Pharmacien S. Tombé in the lapse of memory, this remedy was transmitted to the monks of Morimond by their fellow-members of Nuremberg. With the French revolution, before fleeing their abbey, the monks haut-marnais revealed their secrecy with the grandfather of the future abbot Bertrand, priest of Certilleux in the the Vosges. This last improved the remedy while incorporating in it of the resin of Peru, well-known for its healing virtues. It lengthened then this pomade on a cotton fabric to make a bandage easily usable of it: the sovereign fabric had been born. Victim of its success, the abbot was convened in front of the magistrates' court of Neufchâteau in 1904 for illegal exercise of medicine. Discharged, its fame exceeded the French borders very quickly; many patients came each day to consult it in its presbytery.
