Inhaltsangabe

Explores the contributions to medicine by Boyle (1627-91), who is best known for his experimental work in chemistry. He wrote extensively on airborne epidemics, physiological functions, the importance of dissection to medical education, the preparation and use of drugs, and other topics. Draws from both published and unpublished work to show that during his lifetime he was consulted for his medical advice as often as for his knowledge of chemistry.
