Seller's Description:
Reprint Of The 1602 Edition. Hardback. No Dust Jacket. 8vo. pp 68. Original publisher's red cloth, lettered gilt on spine and front cover. English experience, no. 238. Clowes (1543/4-1604) begins here by offering three "Intentions Phisicall, " or internal remedies: adjustments to diet, pills for purging, or powders and syrups. He moves on to six "Intentions Chyrurgicall, " or direct treatment of the neck swellings, beginning with plasters to be applied, and moving on to lancing or outright extraction of the tumors. Finally, he offers "a most miraculous Cure"--the touch of Queen Elizabeth--and recounts the tale of a Dutchman who was cured after Her Majesty laid hands on his lesions. Unusually for his time, and for a man who was able to write in Latin, Clowes chose to compose all of his books in English. A facsimile. Made from a copy in Cambridge University Library. ISBN: 9022102386 Excellent facsimile edition. Very good indeed.
