title:
  A physical treatise grounded, not upon tradition, nor phancy, but experience, consisting of three parts. The first, a manuduction, discovering the true foundation of the art of medicine. Second, an explanation of the general natures of diseases. Third, a proof of the former positions by practice. By William Russell, chymist in ordinary to His Majesty.

summary:
  I did not think those supream and general gifts were wanting in Nature ; but ( because I knew not the Artifice , by which they might be attain'd ) they were to me as things of no value or concern : having therefore suspended my thoughts , till I better understood them , I greatly bent my Mind to Animals , Salts , and Vegetables ; and from them endeavoured ( as far as in me lay ) to separate their Terrestreity , and by Mistion , their Specificality ; and having spiritualized them , I found they were not unfit to be administred in any Case , so far , as communication of Strength was needful : And so great a Blessing attended for some space of time , that they seemed to answer the utmost desires of Nature . Althô , at present , these things may sound harsh to the Ears of some , yet being true , and having Nature for their Foundation , they will , perhaps , out-live the Enemies of the same ; and ( in this latter Age ) be as generally received as heretofore ( in times of Apostacy ) they have been denyed .

  A collection of chronical diseases viz. the colick, the bilious colick, hysterick diseases, the gout, and the bloody urine from the stone in the kidnies / by J. Pechey ...

summary:
  And in truth , whatever stinks is proper for this intention , whether 't is naturally ill sented , or made so by Art ; and unless I am deceiv'd , Spirits of Harts-horn ▪ of human Blood , of Urine , and of Bones , and the like ; take their chief Vertues from the force of the Fire , in their preparation contracting an ill sented empyreuma , which is intimately join'd with their Essence , which is likewise in the Fumes arising from Feathers , and such kind of parts of Animals , when they are burnt . But it must be confess'd that Women , are much more subject to this kind of Disease than Men , not for that the Womb is more faulty than any other region of the Body , but for causes to be shewn by and by . Nor is this Disease only frequent , but so wonderfully various , that it resembles almost all the Diseases poor Mortals are subject to , for whatever part it seats it self in , it presently produces such Symptoms as appertain to it ; and unless the Physician is very sagacious and very skilful , he will be mistaken , and suppose that those Symptoms proceed from some essential Disease of this or that part , and not from an Hysterical Distemper .
