Hitherto I have fpoken only of thefe medicines as 

 accompanying this little Domejlic Treatife on Farriery ^ 

 whereby thofe who read the defcription of a difeafe 

 may advert to a ready prepared remedy for it. But 

 when thefe medicines become known, they may be 

 purchafed by many who have not feen this Work : 

 now if, therefore, thefe medicines contain directions 

 merely for their exhibition, however copious ; fo they 

 will do, in point of inftrudion, only what has been 

 done by others ; but I profefs fomething more ; for, 

 in addition to the excellence of the recipes from 



which they are formed in addition to the exa6l- 



nefs, goodncfs, and convenience of their compofi- 



tion enclofed with each medicine is a regular 



treatife on the complaint, or complaints if more than 

 one, it is intended for. This little treatife on the 

 complaint will thus make the poffeflbrs acquaint- 

 ed with the difeafe throughout all its ftages, and in 

 all its varieties ; and will alfo have this good eflfed;, 

 that it will not only teach the whole treatment of the 

 complaint, but it will direct what other remedies 

 may be made ufe of in cafe the one purchafed fliould 

 fail, or if any extraordinary circumftance fhould 

 render its exhibition improper. In this refpedt, I 

 pre fume that 1 ftand novel; and in this I conceive 

 my medicine arrangement holds out very fuperior 

 utility ; and in this I hope to prove, that it is com- 

 pletely removed from an empirical attempt to dupe
