Title
Currus triumphalis, è terebinthô. Or An account of the many admirable vertues of oleum terebinthinæ. : More particularly, of the good effects produced by its application to recent wounds, especially with respect to the hemorrhagies of the veins, and arteries, and the no less pernicious weepings of the nerves, and lymphaducts. Wherein also, the common methods, and medicaments, used to restrain hemorrhagies, are examined, and divers of them censured. And lastly, a new way of amputation, and a speedier convenient method of curing stumps, than that commonly practised, is with divers other useful matters recommended to the military chirurgeon, in two letters: the one to his most honoured, James Pearse Esq; chirurgeon to His Royal Highness the Duke of York, and chirurgeon general to His Majestie's Navy Royal. The other, to Mr. Thomas Hobbs, chirurgeon in London. / By James Yonge.
