Shivchei HaBesht, "from the Light of Israel and its holy one… the heavenly R. Yisrael Baal Shem Tov", by R. Dov Ber of Linitz (Illintsi). [Hrubieszów, 1817].
A segulah book – the segulah of the book Shivchei HaBesht for salvation and cure is cited in several sources. The tzaddik R. Yissachar Dov Berish HaCohen of Wolbórz, author of Avodat Yissachar, is quoted saying he received a Heavenly revelation defining Shivchei HaBesht as the second part of the book of Tehillim and bearing a Segulah for salvation. He also offered his advice to all generations, that any Jewish person who takes ill should read narratives about tzaddikim from this book. If he is unable to do so, a chapter should be read to him morning and a evening (Ohel Yissachar, pp. 59-60). A similar tradition is cited in the name of the Tzemach Tzedek of Lubavitch, that reading the book Shivchei HaBesht is beneficial for lowering fever.
