xv The PREFACE. . 
Every thing that is fuperfiuous is 
omitted, that the ufeful Part may re-~ 
main upon the Memory: And to all 
this is prefixed, in a large Introdu€tion, 
whatfoever can be necefjary tocompleat 
the good Intentions of the Charitable in 
this Way. Thereare Rules for gathering 
and preferving Herbs, and their feveral 
Paris, Direétions for making fuch Pre- 
parations from them, as can conveni- 
ently be prepared in Families, and ge- 
_ meral Admonitions and Cautions in their 
xrefpective Ufes. 
If I could have thought of any thing 
Jarther, that could tend to the making 
the Book more ufeful, I fhould have 
added it; asit is, the candid Reader is 
defired to accept it, as written with q 
real View to be of Service to Mankind,
