      title = {A compendious treatise of the diseases of the skin, From  the slightest itchinghumour 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 daubing  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  perform'd 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 distemper.  By T. S. [electronic resource] :},
