"Peter Levens who sunburn, died and practised both physic and surgery, is styled, "Master of Arts, of Oxon," in the title to his book, called "The Path way to Health; wherein are most excellent and approved Medicines of great Virtue," &c. This book was first published in 1587. Mr. Wood informs us, that the author, or rather collector, of these receipts, who appears to have been no graduate in physic, was some time fellow of Magdalen College, in Oxford. Mr. Boyle's "Medicinal Experiments or a Collection of choice and safe Remedies," for the use of families and country-people, is the most noted book of this kind. John Wesley hath published a collection of receipts called "Primitive Physic," among which are some very good ones particularly Sir Stephen Fox's remedy for weak eyes. This book, by the help of the title, hath had a good run, particularly among the Methodists whose faith, co-operating with nature frequently made them whole when Mr. Wesley had the credit of the cure." - DNB, 308-309 p.
