Medicine made to agree with the institutions of nature; or a new mechanical practice of physick: Containing Certain New Principles and Methods for Preserving Health, and Curing Diseases; grounded on the Established Laws of Nature, Motion, and the Animal Oeconomy: Wherein is given the Solution, Demonstration, Use, and Application of that Capital and most Useful, but hitherto Unregarded and Unattempted Problem. Shewing how to apply all the Mechanical Properties and Qualities of those three Catholick Agents and Instruments of Nature, namely, Air, Water, and Motion; in all Degrees, Quantities, and Combinations, by proper Machines, either to the whole Human Body, or to any particular Region or Member thereof, and likewise to the Lungs, and Respiring Organs; by which three General Principles, together with Aliment, all the Intentions and Alterations necessary to be produced in the Animal Solids and Fluids, for Attaining Health, Long Life, and the Cure of Diseases; will become effected in the most Perfect, Safe, Expeditious, Universal Manner. The Mechanical Solution of this Catholick Problem, so much wanted, being of all others the most Useful, as comprehending the whole Materia Medica, with the whole Practice of Physick, in its utmost Extent and Perfection; is therefore propos'd as a Subject meriting the most serious Attention and Encouragement of the Publick, in order to bring the same to Perfection; but more especially of all the Physicians in Great Britain and Europe, to whom it is humbly Address'd and Referr'd, and who it's hoped will employ their joint Endeavours towards bringing the same into Practice, for the General Benefit of Mankind.
