The benefit of farting explain'd: or, the fundament-all cause of the distempers incident to the fair-sex, enquired into. Proving à posteriori most of the dis-ordures in-tail'd upon them, are owing to flatulencies not seasonably vented. Wrote in Spanish by Don Fartinando Puff-indorst Professor of Bumbast in the University of Crackow. And translated into English at the request, and for the use, of the lady Damp-fart of Her-fart-shire. By Obadiah Fizzle, groom of the stool to the princess of arsimini in Sardinia.
