Subject: RE: Folk songs appropriate for medical students
Surgery was originally done by barber surgeons and there are some barber ones noted in my broadside index. Do gelders count, too? 'The Tunbridge Doctors' (Four Able Physicians) is in 'The New Academy of Compliments', 1669 (unique copy in Folger Shakespeare Library), and 'Wit and Drollery', 1682, and with music (Packington's Pound) in 'Pills to Purge Melancholy'. ABC's for 3 versions of "Packington's Pound" are B362-4 on my website.
