4IO ADDITIONAL 



The oppofite opinions that have been con- 

 fidently promulgated upon the properties of 

 Goulard's extraft of Saturn, afford applicable 

 opportunity to venture a hw words upon its 

 qualities, and the eftimation it is held in and 

 entitled to, among thofe whofe extenfive 

 pradice mud 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 5 the virtues of this medicine as an 

 externa!, may therefore not be univerfally ac- 

 knowledged 5 but fo far as a long and attentive 

 experience vvill permit me to decide, I feel 

 myfelf fully juftified in contributing my mite 

 of approbation to the extent of its efficacy 

 upon numerous occaiions. Particularly as a 

 very powerful corroborant in deep feated 

 ftrains; a repellent in the early (late of in- 

 flammatory and painful fwellings, 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 thefe who have occafion 

 to irnkz the experiment.
