A62434	A letter sent to Mr. Henry Stubbe wherein the Galenical method & medicaments, as likewise bloud-letting in particular, are offered to be proved ineffectual or destructibve to mankind, by experimental demonstrations : also his answer thereunto by letter / on which animadversions are made by Geo. Thomson, Dr. of physick ; by whom is added a vindication of his stomach-essence, or alexi-stomachon and other really-powerful remedies, from the malicious slanders and active ignorance of the Galenists.	Thomson, George, 17th cent.; Stubbe, Henry, 1632-1676. Mr. Stubbe's answer.	1672 (1672)	Wing T1025; ESTC R32804	28,813	33
