First edition of an important 1744 medical and philosophical satire targeting Bishop George Berkeley’s advocacy of “tar water” as a universal cure.

Printed for John & Paul Knapton, noted London publishers of scientific and philosophical works.
A key document in the public debate between reason, science, and superstition in 18th-century Britain.
The book is complete, with 66 pages and later plain boards. Minor age wear but clean and legible throughout.
