Flagellum: or, a dry answer to Dr. Hancock's wonderfully-comical liquid book, which he merrily calls Febrifugum magnum, or common water the best cure for fevers, &c. (a Book proved beyond Contradiction, to be wrote when the Doctor was asleep.) Wherein, Not only many obscure Passages, in that great Performance (which neither the Doctor nor any body else understood the meaning of) are ironically explain'd to the meanest Capacity; but the Use and Excellency of cold Water and stewed Prunes, is also clear'd up, beyond Contradiction. Very fit to be bound up with the Doctor's Book. By Gabriel John, a seventh son, and teacher of the occult sciences in Yorkshire.

Remarks upon remarks: or some animadversions, on a treatise wrote by one who calls himself Dr. Gardner, others say, Daniel De-Foe. Intitled remarks on Febrifugum Magnum, wrote by the reverend Dr. Hancocke, for the general good of mankind. The Remarker's Dedication to the President, Censors, and others of the College of Physicians Considered, and of the rest in as good Order as the Perplexed and Confused Nature of the said Pamphlet would admit, without Partiallity or respect of Persons. To which some accounts are added of the use and abuse of common water, in many distempers, not taken notice of by any of them. With an Hudibrastick reply subjoyn'd, by way of appendix, to the sarcastical Gabriel John's flagellum, or a dry answer to Dr. Hancocke's wonderfully-comical liquid book, &c.
