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
