Satirzes John Woodward's, The State of Physick and of Diseases (London: T. Horne/ R. Wilkin, 1718): {L: 47.a.2}, which discovered the stomach as the source of all diseases. The author of the book claims to have found a French manuscript of Les Aventures de Don Bilioso de L'Estomac the chapters of which obviously correspond with Woodward's work - we get the summaries of the individual chapters with page references to Woodward's romantick "plagiarism" which so much smells of Don Quixote.
