John Armstrong did something no physician dared: he set his health advice to verse. His celebrated poem sings the rules of diet, exercise and the passions across four graceful books. A polished curiosity of eighteenth-century letters, where medicine wears the robes of poetry. Read the doctor who prescribed in couplets.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
