The benefit of farting explain'd: or, the fundament-all cause of the distempers incident to the fair sex. Inquir'd into: Proving à Posteriori most of the Disordures in tail'd on, them are owing to Flatulencies not seasonably vented. Wrote in Spanish, by Don Fart-Inhando Puff-Indorst Professor of Bumbast in the University of Craccow. And translated into English at the request and for the use of the Lady Damp-Fart, of Her-Fart-Shire. A Fart, tho' wholesome does not fail, If barr'd of Passage by the Tail, To fly back to the Head again, And by its Fumes disturb the Brain: Thus Gun-Powder confin'd, you know Sir, Grows stronger, as 'tis ram'd the closer; But, if in open Air it fires, In harmless Smoke its Force expires.
