Description unknown.
Advertised as "now in the Press" on September 16 and October 14,1788. The dedication to the Legislature of Maryland
was printed in full in the Maryland Gazette on September 16 and the following quotations have been taken from it. "The
object of the following observations is to expose to you and the whole world, the inefficacy of a Medicine prescribed as a
sovereign cure of Consumptions of die lungs." "... such regulations ought to take place by law, as to enable the public
to determine who, in justice, ought to practice, and be intitled to their confidence as physicians." "When quacks and illit-
erate practitioners of medicine cease to be thought of; when the virtuous opposition of individuals to them cease to be
necessary; and when their baneful influence to society can only be perceived by a painful retrospect to the sad experience of
past ages, this address will, I believe, be found to possess principles or instructions, however feebly expressed, worthy of
deathless place in the minds of all succeeding generations of men." It was written against the pamphlet describing a cure
invented by Johann Anton Guetdenstaedt, physician of Catherine II of Russia, which was published in Philadelphia in 1788.
