He died in New York's yellow fever epidemic of 1798. This is the first edition reprinted in the following year. Dr. Dingley opines that "the true cause of intermitting fevers and various other disorders is the carbonic acid; or some other peculiar gas or mephitic exhalation generated by fermentation in our swamps and stagnant waters." He anticipates that improvements in medicine will follow from greater sophistication in managing climate the environment science and agriculture; but warns of the "diseases that will probably be produced by manufactures." Striking a blow against quackery he proposes "abolishing all nostrums or secret remedies in your society." Dingley urges support for the City-Dispensary a hospital for the poor and for the incorporation of the Medical Society. <br/>Evans 26892. Austin 671. Printed by John Buel, at the Academy unknown books
