"Salivation Exploded Or, A Practical Essay On The Venereal Disease" by Charles Swift offers a historical perspective on the treatment of venereal diseases during the 18th century.

Swift's work provides insights into the medical beliefs and practices of the time, revealing the challenges and controversies surrounding the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. It serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the history of medicine and the evolution of therapeutic methods. This book is a fascinating glimpse into the past, illustrating the state of medical knowledge and the search for effective remedies in a time before modern medicine.
