Monspelii, 1776. ONLY EDITION. 8vo., 16pp., modern gray paper boards, a VERY GOOD copy. Divided into two parts, this slim treatise first discusses how the sun & moon can affect the fluids of the human body in the same way that the moon can affect fluids of the oceans. The obscure author also describes how the moon can affect the air and therefor reparation. Isaac Newton, Frederich Hoffmann & Richard Mead are all cited in his defense. The second part describes how such conditions as tetanus and epilepsy are incited by changes in the moon. Yet the author rejects the possibility that very distant stars could affect our bodies.
