8 A frelimhtdry t)ifcourfe concerning Anatomy 
But that we my yet reap farther advantage from • this 
difquifition, and render it ferviceable for; the Prolongati- 
on of Humane, as well as their own lives, I have added 
. 1\\Q Medical Accoimty which may contain as w^ell th? 
Difeafes they are moft obnoxious to, with the Hiftoryof 
Cures performed either by themfelves, or the affiftance 
of Others ; as alfb the Copia of Medicines tliat may be 
thence obtained, for the enriching and inlarging Phar- 
macy. 
Phyfick, if we may believe the Antients, in its Infancy, 
took its Kife from Bruits ; they taught us theuCcof Cly- 
ftersj Bleeding, Purging, Vomiting, the Soveraign vertues 
of Plants againft Poyfbns, Haemprrhagies, Wounds, Blind- 
nefs,aadalmon:the whole ftock of all Pandoras Evils. 
And certainly were we but diligent in obferving, our Rea- 
fbn might here learn a great deal, which Provident Na- 
ture bath taught them^y lnftinft tproutdpusin. ^ 
Experience tells us, ibme Diftempers fornetimes arc 
more happily cured in them, than in Men. Phyfick at 
iirfl was but Empiricv ; fucccfs in one, encourag'd atry- 
al in another. I could thcrcfofc wifli we liad an Hiftory 
of Cures performed on Brutes. The Antient Phyficians 
thought this ftudy not be'ow them ; hence 'ps we have 
the Medici rht FetcrimrU, Mulo-Medicim^ Hipfiatria^ 
'u^Ko<n<pioy^ V^7iC7ipoy^vivvo^^iov^ .^-'c. By this wc maynot 
only prefervc their Lives for our Profits or Pleafiire ; but 
likewile be provided with further means of prolonging 
and lengthening our own. 
Likewife onthefe Subjcfts when difeafed, variety 
Experiments may betryed for the proof, of the fare?, of 
Medicines, for conquering the moftftubboni diftempers 3 
the caufes of their ailements may be enquired into by 
Anatomy, and more daring attempts offered at, which at 
length by repeated (iiccels in them,.may be ellayed in 
Man. . In fhort, there Is-, 110 p^rt of Phyfick but \y]^\ \my 
receive Improverpents frpm thcir,there being nptthatdift 
ferencc between our Bodies and theirs, only pur Intem-
