The author's inquiry into the causes of diseases especially those prevalent in London. Health, states the author, is based on the balance of what he calls 'non-naturals' : air, food, excretion, motion, sleep, and consciousness. The text is an explication of how to bring these health essentials into balance and what to do to restore it. Blake, p. 467; Wellcome, V, p. 323.
