Full blind stamped panelled calf, G+. [xii]+viii+[iv]+240+8pp, ( Dedication [ to Sir Hans Sloane ], preface, contents, The History, Postscript ).

Reissue ( containing an 8 page postscript ) of a detailed work on the treatment of various Abdominal Hernias ( or ruptures ) by the Glasgow Surgeon Robert Houstoun [ 1678 - 1734 ].

The Postcript at the end rejects the claims of a Dr Littlejohn with regard the 'Secret' cure - Littlejohn had approached the Admiralty & passed off Bowles' cure as his own.
