(“_Aphrodisiacus: or A Treatise on the Venereal Disease,—in Two
Volumes_, containing all that has been written on this subject to the
present day by all Doctors. In which Indian wood (Ironwood, Guajac),
Sarsaparilla, China Root, Quicksilver and all other remedies discovered
for the Destruction of this Disease are most fully treated. A Work
pre-eminently necessary in our Day when the infection of this Complaint
is so widely diffused; the whole collected for the first time by the
most excellent _Aloysius Luisinus_, of Udine,—(Friuli), a most famous
Physician, and provided with an Index of all Matters worthy of note.
Much improved Edition, freed from very numerous errors. Vols. I and
II. Leyden, published by Joann. Arnold. Langerak and Joh. and Herm.
Verbeck, 1728. pp. 1366, besides 11 leaves Preface and 10½ leaves
Index. fol.
Is, as _Astruc_, II. p. 1071., justly observes, a mere reprint of the
Venice edition, the only alteration being that the Appendix to the
First Part is added immediately after the First Part. Comp. _Choulant_,
p. 9. The Preface at the beginning by Boerhave contains his views
on the Venereal Disease, and has been several times since printed
separately and translated.
