A dissertation on the venereal disease : wherein a method of curing all the stages of that distemper will be communicated, and confirmed by several instances of success from the least to the greatest degree of infection : without the help of any mercurial drenches, vomits, or fumigations, without injections or astringents of any sort, without escharoticks, causticks, hot irons, &c. : so solemnly recommended by many authors, and above all, that opprobrium chirurgorum, a salivation will in all cases be avoided / by John Douglas (surgeon, F.R.S.)
