The general state of medical and chirurgical practice, exhibited; shewing them to be inadequate, ineffectual, absurd, and ridiculous, particularly in consumptions, asthmas, nervous, gouty, bilious, scorbutic, scrophulous, rheumatic, venereal, maniacal, and in many other disorders, external as well as internal. And more rational, elegant, speedy, effectual, and lasting methods of cure recommended, by means of diet, and simple medicines, rendered more active by the irresistible power of aerial, aetherial, magnetic, electric, and musical effluvia and influences. In which, particularly, the errors and trifling absurdities of what is called the regular London and Bath medical practice, and of the ridiculous manner of using the celebrated and very salubrious waters of Bath, Aix-la-Chapelle, and the German spa are pointed out: and to the whole are added, near an hundred recent and remarkable cures, caused by the above newly discovered and improved means, after having baffled the effects of the most powerful medicines and mineral waters, and the skill of many of the most celebrated physicians and surgeons in Europe. Among the above, are several cures performed last season at the German spa, under the immediate inspection and certified by the signatures manual, of her Grace the Dutchess of Devonshire, the right honourable Lord and Lady Spencer, Lady Clermont, his serene highness Frederic Prince of Hesse Cassel, the Duke de Coigny, the Marquis de Serent, and many other noble personages, by James Graham. 6th ed.
