When, how oft, and in what cases to be used, and what to be avoided, in this most frequent and helpful administration : distinguished from promiscuous evacuations, injuriously procured and falsely reputed purging / by Everard Maynwaringe, M.D.	Maynwaringe, Everard, 1628-1699?	1696 (1696)	Wing M1491; ESTC R31208	25,987	37
