A42154 A-la-mode phlebotomy no good fashion, or, The copy of a letter to Dr. Hungerford complaining of and instancing in the phantastick behaviour and unfair dealing of some London physitians when they come to be consulted withal about sick persons living at a distance from them in the country : whereupon a fit occasion is taken to discourse of the profuse way of blood-letting formerly unheard of, though now adays so mightily in request amongst vs here in England / by Richard Griffith ...
