Beschreibungen/Notizen

• In the Cowlishaw collection there are two publications by Daniel Turner (1667−1740). These are his Apologia Chyrurgica and an epistle to Dr James Jurin. Turner qualified first as a surgeon and later practised as a physician. He was a successful author and it has been said that ‘His cases are not stated in the most delicate terms, nor was politeness among his excellencies’. Both of these publications were very critical of the various pretenders who engaged in medical practice at that time. A review of these works has been carried out and consideration of the type of practice in which these people were engaged.
