SUMMARY
Wellcome Collection catalog record (work dmnzupsj) confirmed by direct fetch: ESTC-estimated date [1740?]; publisher T. Woodward, London; authors Stephen Hales (principal experiments) and David Hartley (supplement). No image of this pamphlet was downloaded for this bundle. Cited for its title and imprint alone, documenting that Stephen Hales conducted a dedicated laboratory inquiry, published in 1740, into the medicine's actual 'dissolving power,' independent of the parliamentary committee's clinical examination and the French Royal Academy's investigation. This catalog record does not itself establish Hales's prior scientific reputation or Royal Society status; no source in this bundle is cited for that biographical point, so this bundle does not assert it.
