In the copy from the Sloane Library which _Astruc_, II. p. 659., had
before him, was, printed on the same paper and with the same type,
although the Title-page made no mention of it: _Nicholas Poll_,
Medicinae Professoris et Sacrae Caesareae Majestatis Physici, Libellus
de Cura Morbi Gallici per lignum Guajacanum (_Nicholas Poll_, Professor
of Medicine and Physician to the Holy Roman Emperor, Pamphlet “On the
Treatment of Syphilis by the Guajac wood”. _Gruner_, Aphrod. p. V., who
possessed the same edition, does not mention this, but says the book
is printed without pagination, and that each book has a separate Title
(nova cuique libro inscriptione praefixa,—a fresh Title being prefixed
to each book), so that a Part might easily be missing. _Trew_ and
_Hensler_ also possessed the Work. Comp. _Girtanner_, II. p. 73.
