A true and succinct account of the venereal disease : shewing its nature, causes, various ways of infecting, the easiness of its cure, and the reasons why so many daily miss of cure; with some directions whereby the patients themselves may know when, and when not they are in safe and skilful hands for cure. Published for the use of all whom it may in any wise concern, but more especially for those that now have, or at any time may have the misfortune of that distemper. In order to prevent their being ruin'd by ignorant pretenders, whose fraudulent practices are plainly discover'd, their daily abuses detected, their fair promises prov'd fallacious, and their methods and medicines pernicious. The whole interspers'd with pertinent observations, by John Marten, practitioner in chyrurgery. To which is added, a few words concerning old gleets, which are generally procur'd by ill management, and by most deem'd incurable: the certain cure thereof by the grand stericton, a chymical preparation discover'd by the author, the like for safety and effect never before used in practice.
