Recording Dr. Sloane's Medical Advice
No full textBy Lisa Smith In the hunt for good health, early modern sick people often recorded the prescriptions given to them by doctors, particularly if the remedy was useful or came from a famous source. Sir Hans Sloane was one of the best known physicians in early eighteenth-century London--as well as a collector and natural philosopher, whose correspondence is being put online here.
