Rational methods of curing fevers: deduced from the structure, and oeconomy of human bodies, and the different states of the solids, and fluids, under the different classes of fevers. Together with a particular account of the effects of artificial evacuations by bleeding, vomiting, purging, sweating, and blistering, &c. With practical rules deduced from them, shewing in what cases they are proper, and may be beneficial; and in what, they are improper, and will be hurtful. By Theophilus Lobb, M. D. and Fellow of the Royal Society.
