""Remarks On The Disease Lately Described By Dr. Hendy Under The Appellation Of The Glandular Disease Of Barbadoes"" is a medical text written by John Rollo in 1785. The book is a critical examination of a disease that was prevalent in Barbados at the time and was described by Dr. Hendy as the ""glandular disease."" Rollo analyzes the symptoms, causes, and treatments of the disease and offers his own opinions on the matter. He argues that the disease is not unique to Barbados and that it is caused by a combination of factors, including poor diet, lack of exercise, and unsanitary living conditions. Rollo also suggests various treatments for the disease, including the use of mercury and bloodletting. The book is an important historical document that provides insight into the medical knowledge and practices of the late 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
