REMARKS. All 



By this fmall and difinterefted tribute to it? 

 excellencies, I mean not to be confidered its 

 immaculate panegyrift, extolling its efficacy tQ 

 a degree of unlimited infallability, ranking it 

 with the nojlrums of the day, and publifliing a 

 fajhionable ccrtifcate of its poffeffing the pro- 

 perty of banifhing every poffible ill 3 but to 

 bring its properties fairly into the fcale of 

 public inveftigation, upon the foundation of 

 my own recommendation, juftified by accurate 

 pbfervation, affording me every reafon to believe 

 that, where it has been brought into ufe with- 

 put any good effedts being produced by the 

 application, it has failed more from the inju- 

 dicious dilution of the prefcriber, or inferior 

 quality of the preparation, than any want of 

 efficacy in the medicine alone ; and this I am 

 the more readily induced to believe, by the 

 repeated difcoveries of erroneous proportions 

 in compofition, even upon the confeffions of 

 thofe whofe want of practice had left them 

 totally inadequate to the talk of forming a 

 competent opinion upon the different cafes 

 they had undertaken. 



From this medical animadverfion we return 

 to the confideration of tumours before defcribed, 



which.
