A57952	A physical treatise grounded, not upon tradition, nor phancy, but experience, consisting of three parts. The first, a manuduction, discovering the true foundation of the art of medicine. Second, an explanation of the general natures of diseases. Third, a proof of the former positions by practice. By William Russell, chymist in ordinary to His Majesty.	Russell, William, 1634-1696?	1684 (1684)	Wing R2357; ESTC R218554	58,632	208

deplorable_a case_n above_o mention_v example_n 1._o of_o a_o imposthume_n in_o the_o womb_n of_o a_o woman_n with_o child_n a_o woman_n about_o seven_o month_n go_v with_o child_n be_v afflict_v
