The great bill of mortality: or, the late dreadful plague at Marseilles, (of which, 'tis computed, above eighty thousand persons have died,) compared with that in London in 1665, of which above One Hundred Thousand Persons died; sometimes Eight or Nine Thousand a Week; the Carts continually plying to fetch away the Dead Bodies; and the Carr-Men with a Bell in their Hands, crying, Bring out your Dead! Bring out your Dead! in which You have a Particular Account of both those Dreadful Visitations; And, Likewise, a Description of the Disease it-self, in its first Symptoms, and Fatal Consequences. Together with plain and easy directions, how, both rich and poor, may prepare remedies t prevent it's infection, And Effectually to Cure any Person when Afflicted with it. Note, this tract is collected from the practice and writings of those physicians, who (by the Method herein Prescribed) had the good fortune to preserve the lives of many thousands, in the Time of that Dreadful Pestilence in London, in 1665. And now made Publick for the Benefit of all Persons, of what Rank socver. To which is added, a poem, exhorting the people of England to a timely repentance.
