Synopsis

The Practice Of Physic In General, As Delivered In A Course Of Lectures On The Theory Of Diseases And The Proper Method Of Treating Them by Theophilus Lobb is an 18th-century medical manual that presents a comprehensive course of lectures on the theory of diseases and their proper treatment. This work surveys practical therapeutics, detailing various forms of internal and external remedies, including liquids, solids, electuaries, pills, lozenges, syrups, tinctures, oils, ointments, cerates, and cataplasms. It examines evacuation strategies such as bleeding, vomiting, purging, and sweating, along with alterants, restoratives, and dietary regimens. Extensive sections cover patient examinations, fevers (intermittent, remitting, continual), eruptive diseases, ocular and cutaneous disorders, as well as conditions affecting infants and women, and external afflictions of the head and chest. The text blends historical medical theory with practical prescriptions and clinical guidance for physicians and educated readers alike.
