An Introduction To Physic And Surgery is an early modern medical reference organized as a dense glossary for physicians and apothecaries. It compiles anatomy, physiology, pathology, surgery, pharmacology, and botany into an alphabetized materia medica with practical notes. The work surveys bones, muscles, nerves, heart and blood vessels, membranes, and related structures, with attention to origins, insertions, and functions. It presents a fever taxonomy and various diseases—scurvy, leprosy, palsies, apoplexy, dysentery, pleuritis, peripneumonia, nephritic fever, measles, smallpox, and other contagious conditions—emphasizing signs, progression, and prognosis. Surgical vocabulary and instruments are described, including procedures, wound management, scarification, seton, forceps, and specula, along with concepts like prolapse, hernias, luxation, and fistulae. The pharmacopoeia catalogs medicinal plants, minerals, animal products, and preparations with Latin names, doses, and uses (diuretic, purgative, anti-inflammatory, tonics), plus cautions. Botany and plant science lay out taxonomy and preparation methods; the humoral framework connects plant properties to disease patterns. The text aims to teach diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic reasoning for practitioners and students.
