Omschrijving

""Essays Medical And Experimental, On The Following Subjects: Columbo Root; Orchis Root; Waters Of Buxton, Etc."" is a book written by Thomas Percival and first published in 1773. The book is a collection of essays that explore various medical and experimental subjects, including the use and effects of Columbo Root, Orchis Root, and the Waters of Buxton. The book begins with an introduction by Percival, in which he explains his approach to medical research and experimentation. He emphasizes the importance of careful observation and experimentation, and the need to base medical treatments on empirical evidence rather than tradition or superstition. The first essay in the book focuses on Columbo Root, a medicinal plant native to South America. Percival describes its properties and uses, and discusses its potential as a treatment for various ailments, including fevers, dysentery, and diarrhea. He also provides a detailed account of his own experiments with Columbo Root, including its effects on animals and humans. The second essay in the book focuses on Orchis Root, a plant that was believed to have aphrodisiac properties. Percival examines the evidence for these claims, and discusses the potential risks and benefits of using Orchis Root as a treatment for sexual dysfunction. The final essay in the book is devoted to the Waters of Buxton, a mineral spring in Derbyshire, England that was believed to have healing properties. Percival describes the composition of the water, and discusses its potential as a treatment for various medical conditions, including gout, rheumatism, and skin diseases. Overall, ""Essays Medical And Experimental, On The Following Subjects: Columbo Root; Orchis Root; Waters Of Buxton, Etc."" provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of eighteenth-century medical research and experimentation, and offers valuable insights into the history of medicine and pharmacology.Fixed Air; Factitious Air; Charcoal; Atrabilis; Sea Salt; Coffee, To Which Are Added, Select Histories Of Diseases.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
