Information required: During 1674 (22, 24 April; 24, 30, 31 May) and 1675 (18, 19 Aug.), Robert Hooke mentions some sort of medical treatment that seems to have required the ingestion of various doses of vomit, usually some one else's. On 22 April and 24 May 1674, Hooke spaeks of also using a feather to induce vomiting. Any information on this 'treatment'(?) will be gratefully received.
