Every man his own doctor: or, The poor planter's physician Prescribing, plain and easy means for persons to cure themselves of all, or most of the distempers, incident to this climate, and with very little charge, the medicines being chiefly of the growth and production of this country. : [Eight lines from Milton]1734
An essay on the pleurisy.1736
An epistle to Dr. Richard Mead: concerning the epidemical diseases of Virginia, particularly, pleurisy and peripneumony: wherein is shewn the surprising efficacy of the Seneca rattle-snake root, in diseases owing to a viscidity and coagulation of the blood; such as pleurisies and peripneumonies, these being epidemick, and very mortal in Virginia, and other colonies on the continent of America, and also the Lee-ward islands. To which is prefixt, a cut of the most valuable plant: and an appendix annexed, demonstrating the highest probablility, that this root will be of more extensive use than any medicine in the whole materia medica, and of curing the gout, rheumatism, dropsy, and many nervous diseases.1738
Physical enquiries: discovering the mode of translation in the constitutions of northern inhabitants, on going to, and for some time after arriving in southern climates ... Dr. Ward's qualifications for the practice of physic ... Illustrated with remarks upon a printed letter to a member of Parliament, signed Philanthropos.1742
