Synopsis
The Marine Practice Of Physic And Surgery: Including That In The Hot Countries, Particulary Useful To All who Visit The East And West Indies, Or The Coast Of Africa, To Which !$ ADDED : PHARMACOPOEIA Marina by William Northcote. This volume presents an 18th?century maritime medical manual issued for sailors and naval surgeons. It combines practical medicine and surgery tailored to seafaring life with extensive prescriptions and procedures, from general theory of tumors and cutaneous disorders to the treatment of wounds, ulcers, and hernias, and from phlebotomy and amputations to complex operations such as trepanation, lithotomy, cataract, and other major surgeries. A substantial portion comprises a Pharmacopoeia Marina, listing medicines, draughts, and formulas used at sea, including materia medica and compounding methods. The book also features a long prefatory dedication and notes on the author’s aims, emphasizing guidance for younger surgeons in the royal navy and the utility of a compact, field?oriented system of medical practice. The text offers a rigorous, procedure?heavy survey of medical and surgical practice in distant waters in the 1700s, reflecting both classical influences and naval exigencies.
