The Test. A Satirical Medical Scene from a Coffee-House
A curious piece describes a gentleman treated with various quack remedies for fever and illness, including aureum Baflicum and James’s Powper. It mocks medical pretensions, warns of side effects, and notes public spectacles and a doctor who works from bed. It closes with a promise of a continuing correspondence.
