Abstract

VIII. An account of books. Profluvia ventris: or the nature and causes of loosenesses plainly discovered, their symptoms and sorts evidently settled, the maxims for curing ’em fully demonstrated, and all illustrated with the most remarkable methods and medicins of all ages; and with some practical observations concluding every sort. By William Cockburn, M. D. late Physician of his Majesties Fleet, F. R. S. and of the Colledge of Physicians, London, 1701. in 8°. - 2. Sanctorij sanctorij de statica medicina aphorosmorum sectiones septem cum commentario Martini Lyster, Londini. Impens. S. Smith & Benj. Walford, R. S. Typograph. 1501. in 8°. In this Book, the Author enquires into the Nature and Cure of those Distempers; and that he may the better avoid the perplexing number of sorts that are commonly found in Books of Physick, he has suppos'd himself absolutely ignorant of what has been said formerly, and endeavours to discover the most general mark of Loosenesses; and proceed, by that, to find as many more as may be useful to distinguish them in proper sorts, and that by marks taken from observation and the Stools themselves.
