Having aflign'd this caufe, he endeavours from thence to deduce all the 
Appearances and Symptomes peculiar to this Difeafe, and fuggefts that upon 
that ground it ought to be the main intention of the Phyfitian, to remove 
foch Obflruftions, and to ftrengthen the Nerves : fubjoyning a general 
method for curing this Infirmity, and fpecifying the principal remedies, 
both Internal and External, to be ufed therein •, among which he chiefly re- 
commends the fpirits of Sal krmw'vack^. Marts "home, Bloody Vrine, Soot r 
as fuch, that by the high volatility and fubtlenefs of their pans are able 
to diflodge thofe Obftru&ions, which caufe this Difeafe. 
II. A DISCOURSE concerning PHYSICK , and \tfo> many ABUSES 
thereof by the APOTHECARIES, London, A.i 668 < in 8\ 
IN this Difcourfe are chiefly perform 'd thefe Two things. Firfb, The 
Intereftof the Vatient, in reference to Vhyfic ^and Myftiansjs foberly 
debated, And here, the Vatknts being they, who are mofl; highly in jur'd 
by the unwarrantable practifes of thofe, that are in this Traft accufed, the 
Author reprefents, that, although many intelligent perfons among the Peo- 
ple are fufficiently fenfible of the Abufes, here manifefted, and that it is of 
abfolute neceffity, fome reformation be made ; yec all are not thus per- 
fwaded, fince we may daily obferve, that many, who- are leis difcern ingo- 
ing deceiv'd by an Imaginary* good, covet unawares their own ruine* and 
unlefs they be given to understand, which is the £w/ and which the GW* 
by perfons in whom they have reafon to confide, they mult neceflarily run^ 
much hazard. The Author therefore hath here endeavour'd to unde* 
ceive them,difcovering both the many inconveniences, they are lyable to> 
and the many things, whereof mofl Apothecaries are highly guilty,as Cace- 
lefsnefs, Unskilfulnefs, ^nfaithfullnefs on the one hand, and Intrufion into 
the phyfitians Implo^ment ( the Pra&ife of phyfick ) on the, other: ca 
all which accounts, he thinks y he hath demouftrated ; they are exceedingly 
injurious to the Publick. 
■ : In-order to the Prevention of fuch intolerable A bufes of the People he 
makes this Vropofal 9 ThatPhyficians prepare and difpence their ownMer 
dicins, and fliews at large, that the Ad vantages of fuch a CGnftitution 
will be many and great ; As, that it will much abate the Expence of Phy- 
fick- and the Medicins themfelves will be more fafe and etfetftuai, than 
now they are, Inter eft obliging Phyfkians-to have their Phyfick as good 3 , 
as they can contrive or prepare and that fuch a llate-of Phyfick of all 
other cannot but be mo ft defirabk, wherein A/> Mawhaving the Jnterefc 
■can have the V-o^er, nor any -having tht ' Vowe^, can have the [Interefi to prepare > 
Medicins unfaithfully h wherein bad men {hall be made good,and-the goo J 
never be tempted to become diflioneft : So that, if the Sickji&ve regard 
either to profit or fafety, they wiiladdrefs themfelves to thofe Perfons 3 who*^ 
fupply them with the heft of Remedies,and at chea pelt rates, 
- Secondly, As to Phyfitian^ the Author tells- them- that they mtift neeek - 
ferily put their Affairs into fome fuckxxiethod^s ii here commended 5 if they .
