CITY, or an acrimonious and impoverijhed 

 flate of the blood ? 



For the preceding quotation from ClArke^ 

 (which is in fadl a quotation from all the 

 reft) evidently recommends it in a variety 

 of diforders refulting from each of the two ; 

 and fhould fuch fyftem pofiefs the happy 

 influence of extrading (fecundum artem) 

 the foundation of difeafes clearly proceed- 

 ing from properties in the blood /o diredily 

 oppojite to each other ^ and fuch wonderful 

 efficacy can be fiibftantially corroborated ; 

 I fhall cheerfully become a convert to the 

 prevalent opinion of the Vulcanian frater- 

 nity, and join in their unlimited reprefenta- 

 tion of GENERAL UTILITY. But till bet- 

 ter and more profeffional allegations are pro- 

 duced, to juftify the indifcriminate hold they 

 have fo long retained, (particularly in coun- 

 try practice ;) I ftiall confcientioufly forbear 

 to contribute a lingle encomium upon the 

 great and almoft infallible virtues they have 

 been fo univerlally and QxionQOU^y fuppojei 

 to poffefs-
