Descrizione
First edition, xi, [5], 84 pp., light stain to lower outer corner of text, two-tone modern boards, paper title label on spine, uncut. In this treatise, Fowler, an English physician, explores the therapeutic applications of tobacco, particularly its diuretic properties, in treating conditions like dropsy (edema) and dysuria (painful or difficult urination). Fowlerís observations were based on clinical cases where tobacco was administered in various forms, including infusions and enemas, to stimulate urination and alleviate fluid retention. At the time, such treatments were considered innovative, and Fowler's work contributed to the broader 18th-century medical discourse on the potential medicinal uses of tobacco.
