The second, treating of the genuine use of hot and cold baths. Together with the wonderful effects of the bath-water, drank hot from the pump, in decay'd stomachs, and in most diseases of the bowels, liver, and spleen, &c. Also proving, that the best cures done by the cold baths, are lately observed to arise from the temperate use of the hot baths first. To which is added, an appendix.
