AN ESSAY ON OPHTHALMIA OR INFLAMMATION OF THE EYES 
by: Griffiths, Elijah

Softcover. Philadelphia, Printed for the Author by Hugh Maxwell, 1st, 1804, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Disbound booklet, 26 pages plus wrappers. This was Griffiths' inaugural dissertation for his degree of doctor of medicine. The title identifies him as "one of the physicians of the Philadelphia Alms-House, and honorary member of the Philadelphia Medical Society." Dr. G. offers "a few observations on the laws of animal life; then the disease is described; afterwards the causes, both general and local, are considered: and the method of treating it concludes the essay." Mild foxing.
