REMARKS. 4if 



By this frnall and difinterefted tribute to its 

 excellencies, I mean not to be coniidered its 

 immaculate panegyrift, extolling its efficacy to 

 a degree of unlimited infallibility, ranking it 

 with the nojlrums of the day, and publifhing a 

 fafnionahle certificate of its pofTeiling the pro- 

 perty of banKhing every poffible ill; but to 

 bring its properties fairly into the fcale of 

 public inveftigation, upon the foundadon of 

 my own recommendation, juftiiied by accurate 

 obfervation, aftoidlng me every rcafon to believe 

 that where it has been brought into ufe with- 

 out any good effedls being produced by the 

 application, it has failed more from the inju- 

 dicious dilution of the prefcrlber, 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 pradice 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.
