  • A philosophical essay upon the celebrated anodyne necklace, [electronic resource] : recommended To the World by Dr. Chamberlen, for Childdrens teeth: Women in Labour: And Distempers of the Head. Published by reason of the great increase of late Years in the Bills of Mortality, by which it appears that in and about London, (the same may be said of Paris, or any other great City, above 12000 Children have Yearly Died of their teeth, and Convulsions and Fevers caused thereby: Besides the great Numbers of Women that are Daily Lost in Child-Bed: And the Multitudes of Persons that Dye of Distempers of the Head. In this essay therefore is clearly shewed from the Principles of the New Philosophy, how by the Wearing only of this necklace Children will easily Breed and Cut their Teeth, without any Pain, Convulsions, or Fever at all: Women in Labour be Easily, Presently, and Safely Delivered: And most Distempers of the Head Cured without ever taking in any thing at the Mouth. Dedicated to Dr. Chamberlen, and the Royal Society. Entred in the Hall-Book.
