Reprint of Two Tracts 1. An essay on gleets. 2. An enquiry into the nature, cause, and cure of a singular disease of the eyes

"Reprint of Two Tracts" by Jean Paul Marat is a snapshot of 18th-century medical thought, where the author shares insights in two distinct essays on venereal diseases and unique eye ailments. Marat takes aim at conventional treatments for chronic urethral discharges, known as gleets, and champions a methodical strategy to diagnosis and remedial methods. In the second part, he discusses a novel eye condition arising from mercury use and shares detailed observations in how to face its unique symptoms. Both essays underscore Marat’s focus on thorough examination and customized treatment protocols, marking his contribution to medical knowledge during that era.
