Emmenologia in qua Fluxus Muliebus Menstrui Phaenomena Periodi, Vitia, cum Methendi Methodo, ad Rationes Mechanicas

John Freind

1717 Second Edition

A physician, Freind (1675-1728) accompanied English troops to Spain and Flanders before returning to England and embarking upon a successful medical career. He had a short career as an MP but his Jacobite sympathies resulted in a term in Gaol rather than Parliament. At the end of his life he was appointed physician to Queen Caroline. The DNB notes that "he was not only an elegant scholar but a man of genuine learning, and his History of Physic is still worth consulting.
