Two letters from the Right Reverend Dr. George Berkeley, Lord Bishop of Cloyne, the one to Thomas Prior, Esq; concerning the usefulness of tar-water in the plague. (Wherein also it is considered, whether tar-water, prepared with the distilled acid of tar, should be preferred to that made in the common way, by mixing tar with water, and stirring them together.) The other to the Rev. Dr. Hales, on the benefit of tar-water in fevers, for cattle as well as the human species. Published at his Lordship's desire, on occasion of the present distemper among the cattle, and for the general good of mankind.
