A discourse concerning gleets. Their cause and cure. With a prefatory account of Professor Boerhaave's new comments on the venereal disease; and some Animadversions thereon. Address'd to the Surgeons in the City of London. To which is added, a defence of the 12th chapter of the first part of a treatise De morbis cutaneis, in respect to the Spots and Marks impress'd upon the Skin of the Foetus, by the Force of the Mother's Fancy: containing some remarks upon a discourse lately printed and entituled, The strength of imagination in pregnant women examin'd, &c. Whereby it is made plain, notwithstanding all the Objections therein, that the said Imagination in the Pregnant Woman, is capable of maiming, and does often both mutilate and mark the Foetus, or that the same, as he insinuates, is not a vulgar Error.
