The first treating concerning physicians. 2. The second of the errours about some diseases, and the knowledge of them. 3. The third of the errours about the diet; as well of the sound as of the sick. 4. The fourth of the errours of the people about the use of remedies. Profitable and necessary to be read of all. To which is added by the same authour his verdict concerning the antimoniall cuppe. Translated into English by Robert Wittie Doctor in Physick.; De vulgi in medicinâ erroribus. English.	Primerose, James, ca. 1598-1659.; Primerose, James, ca. 1598-1659.; Wittie, Robert, 1613?-1684.; Cross, Thomas, fl. 1632-1682, engraver.	1651 (1651)	Wing P3476; Thomason E1227_1; ESTC R203210	204,315	501
