About This Item
8vo, pamphlet, removed, dbd, 109 pp. Pamphlet was removed, and part of old binding remains on the spine, title page a little soiled and browned, and a bit loose, dedication to Dr. Le Fevre (pages-iii-iv) is loose and detached, normal aging for the rest of the contents; overall very good.
This is a rather scarce title on the treatment of gout. OCLC locates only three copies, and it does not appear that a copy has come up for auction in many years. The discussion in this work is focused on Dr. Le Fevre's treatment for gout, which includes some review of the medical politics surrounding his treatment. A good portion of the work relates to letters of people who have been treated with Le Fevre's medicine. While not everyone seemed to benefit from his medicine, some of the letters show a very positive impact. A Maynard Colchester of Westbury stated, "I think I have found all the benefit I could expected, in so short of time, from this valuable medicine, and shall ever think myself greatly obliged to you for your kind recommendation of it". OCLC. ABPC.
