4!o ADDITIONAL 



The oppofite opinions that have been con- 

 fidently promulgated, upon tlie properties of 

 Goulard's extradt of Saturn, afford applicable 

 opportunity to venture a few v\rords upon its 

 qualities, and the eftimation it is held in, and 

 entitled to, among thofe v^hofe extenfive 

 pradice muft have enabled them to decide 

 upon the certainty of its effeds. Every valu- 

 able difcovery unavoidably meets its opponents 

 from either pique, prejudice, obftinacy, or 

 ignorance ; the virtues of this medicine as an 

 external may therefore not be univerfally ac- 

 know^ledged ; but, fo far as a long and attentive 

 experience will permit me to decide, I feel 

 myfelf fully juftified in contributing my mite 

 of approbation to the extent of its efficacy 

 upon numerous occalions. Particularly as a 

 very powerfjl corroborant in deep feated 

 ftrains ; a repellent in the early flate of in- 

 flammatory and painful fv/ellings, as well as 

 a general fpecific in moft injuries to the eye, 

 by blows, bruifes, or external accidents : its 

 peculiar property of preventing gangrene or 

 mortification, by plentiful incorporation with 

 poultices, or other topical applications, will 

 be fully proved by thofe who liave occafion 

 to make the experiment.
