A treatise of the hypochondriack and hysterick passions, vulgarly call'd the hypo in men and vapours in women; in which the symptoms, causes, and cure of those diseases are set forth after a method intirely new. The whole interspers'd, with instructive discourses on the real art of physick itself; and entertaining remarks on the modern practice of physicians and aopthecaries: very useful to all, that have the misfortune to stand in need of either. In three dialogues. By B. De Mandeville, M.D.
