      title = {A short account of the itch, or a compendious treatise of  the diseases of the skin, from the slightest itching humour  in particular parts only, to the most inveterate Itch,  stubborn scabbiness, and confirmed leprosy. Plainly  describing their symptoms, nature, dependance on each  other, original cause, and dismal consequence to the  patients and their posterity, if neglected or mismanaged.  Also the dangerous effects of quicksilver girdles,  ointments, washes, and other pernicious  mercurial-medicines. Discovering the true and only certain  method of curing those distempers with safety, ease, and  expedition, and without the use of dabbing ointments,  brimstone, or other nauseous and ill-smelling remedies,  confinement of the patient, disorder of the body, or  knowledge of the nearest friend. The whole illustrated with  several extraordinary cases, and very remarkable cures  performed by the author, necessary to be read by all  persons, but more especially those who are unhappily  troubled with the itch, or any other cutaneous distempers.
