HENRY JACKSON (fl. 1740) Reflexions concerning the virtues of tar water. Printed for J. Robinson 1744 19 pp. 20 cm.

Jackson was a London chemist who had experimented with tar water and found it to be a remedy well worth using to cure a variety of complaints. This small pamphlet is largely a commentary on George Berkeley's treatise on tar water (see No. 804) in which Jackson provides, as the title pages states, "Hints for its improvement, so as to make it a most efficacious and pleasant Medicine."
