Volume 1 appears to begin with Physiology, then goes into Practice. Volume 2 continues the study of specific diseases. No section as such on Therapeutics, but "cures" given for each disease with its description. By comparison with dated sets of notes, these appear to have been given before 1800.

Volume 2 contains an index; page numbers mentioned in index are the only numbered pages in the volume.
