A play by Ben Jonson, first performed in 1632. The play tells the story of a man who tries to cure his wife's melancholy by subjecting her to various magnetic and alchemical treatments. The play is a fascinating exploration of the medical practices of Jonson's time, and a satirical commentary on the quackery and superstition that were prevalent in the medical profession.
