Facts And Observations Respecting The Air-Pump Vapour-Bath, In Gout, Rheumatism, Palsy, And Other Diseases

A vapour bath cure-all? Gout and rheumatism certainly. Palsy, leg ulcers, back pain and diseased elbows too it seems. Chilblains, leprosy, tetanus and dropsy, maybe not but worth a try. Exceptionally scarce first edition, with half title, frontispiece, title page and dedication. Pages rather toned and a little grubby in places. Some sections still uncut. A little foxing, esp to frontispiece. Sale price of machine not amended in this copy as elsewhere. In publisher's paper-covered boards, somewhat marked and worn, with rough cloth quarter binding with gilt titling to spine. Would benefit from sympathetic rebind. 16mo. 150pp + 2pp ads
