The final edition of the popular series, comprised of letters written by John Floyer. Floyer was considered one of the most eccentric physicians of his time, and was somewhat ridiculed due to firm beliefs in the benefits of hydrotherapy. He was one of the first to suggest the possible hereditary nature of asthma, the relation between pulse rate and well being, and he made one of the earliest descriptions of emphysema. He is credited as the first to measure pulse rate with the aid of a watch, which he adapted, where previously watches only worked by hours and minutes, the adaptation divided the minutes to more easily monitor pulse rate. This edition includes an appendix, a letter of support and agreement from Edward Baynard a London physician who was an expert in the field of balneology (baths and bathing). He was so avid in his beliefs, he petitioned members of the church to practice baptism for the health benefits.
