That Diseases produced by Excess are to be cured by proper Evacuation: And II. Those, which arise from a wrong Quality by alterative Medicines. III. That Distempers resulting from Deficiencies are to be healed by Restoratives. And IV. That Diseases, which are the Effects of combined Causes, are to be removed by combined Remedies.

Whereunto is added, A Letter, shewing what is the proper Preparation of Persons for Inoculation, and for having the Small Pox favourably in the natural Way; and that there are Medicines, which have proved effectual to preserve Persons from the Distemper, tho they had much of the Infection at the Time of their taking them. Published, not only for the Use of those Gentlemen, who may attend the Lectures, but for the Advantage of any, who practice Physick; and also of those, who would not be mismanaged in the Time of Sickness.
