A true and succinct account of the venereal disease : from the mildest clap or gonorrhaea, to the most radicated pox that can be, shewing its nature, causes, kinds; various ways of infecting; the certainty of knowing whether infected or not; how to prevent or hinder infection; the easiness of its cure when infected; the reasons why so many daily miss of cure, and the use and abuse of mercury in the cure: with some directions whereby the patients themselves may know when, and when not they are in safe and skilful hands for cure. Publishe'd for the use, and worthy the perusal of all, whom it may in any wise concern, but more especially for those that now have, or at any time may have the misfortune of that distemper, in order to prevent their being ruin'd by ignorant pretenders, whose fraudulent practices are plainly discover'd, their daily abuses detected, their fair promises prov'd fallacious, and their methods and medicines pernicious. The whole interspered with pertinent observations, and various instances and letters of very remarkable cures. /
