Mayow was a prominent English physician and chemist of the 17th century, known for his contributions to the understanding of respiration and combustion. This translation, published in 1907, makes Mayow's work accessible to modern readers.The book is divided into five sections, each dealing with a different aspect of medicine and physiology. The first section focuses on the nature of diseases and their causes, while the second section explores the principles of anatomy and physiology. The third section deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, while the fourth section discusses pharmacology and the use of drugs in medical practice. The final section is devoted to the study of surgery and surgical techniques.Throughout the book, Mayow draws on his extensive knowledge of chemistry, physics, and biology to provide a comprehensive understanding of the human body and its functions. He also includes detailed descriptions of various medical procedures and treatments, as well as discussions of the ethical and moral considerations involved in medical practice.Medico-Physical Works is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine and the development of medical knowledge. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the medical practices of the 17th century and the ways in which they have influenced modern medicine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
