A Compendium Of The Practice Of Physick; Or, The Heads Of A System Of Practical Physick, Lectures by Theophilus Lobb is an 18th-century medical treatise presenting a rational system for clinical practice. The work introduces a comprehensive framework: diseases arise from an excess, a deficiency, or a wrong quality of the animal fluids, and are to be managed by three general categories of remedies—evacuants, alterants, and restoratives. The volume compiles a course of lectures that cover the structure and economy of the human body, general classifications of disease, signs and symptoms, and the various medical instruments and medicines employed in treatment. Emphasizing anatomy, observation, and practical management, the text also discusses inoculation against smallpox, patient examination, and the selection of remedies to treat fevers and other illnesses without excessive bleeding. It aims to provide a usable manual for physicians, apothecaries, and surgeons, reflecting a Hippocratic-Galenic inheritance adapted to early modern medical practice. The book’s overall purpose is to establish a coherent system of medical knowledge and practical application for the Sick.
