PREFACE

His PUPILS.
F'TE R I had taken upon me the Of-
jice of Profefor in Phyfic^ and en--
deavourd toft my f elf for the CaU
ling of a Teacher in that Faculty^
"which was confirmed to me by An--
thorityfrom the Heads of the Univerfty ; / be^
gan to think my incumbent Duty wou'd confft
chiefly in exhibiting all thofe Dt/coveries to you
in a clear Lights which have refulted at diffe-
rent times from well grounded Obfervation and
pertinent Experiments ; fuch as muft be always
acknowledgdfor true andfolid Principles in the
Science.
With this View Ifearch'd thrd thofe Writings
of the Ancients^ which we have at this Day the

Happinefs of pojje/fing, taking notice of the mofi
important Matters which by their Sagacity and
Indufiry they had found out and confderd. But
at the fame time that I was bufy in compili?tg^ I
was no lefs aSiive and obferving in Matters of
PraBicCy by which means I became an Eye^
witnefs of the. fever al Appearances which had
been before recorded of Nature : nor could I any
where fifidy or even wifh for^ a better Courfe to
take than this.
I was in the mean time cautious not to omit
aJty thing of Confequence that had been regifterd
on ancient Monuments^ or advanced by Arabian
Writers^ during the fever al Centuries that by a
general NegleSi of Learning in Europe, the Im-
provement of Phyfic lay only in the Hands of that
People \ fothat^ by tranfating 'em into Latin,
they might become more diffu/ed and intelligible
amongf us. But I have frequently lamented
that the Arabians, however wife and abounding
with good Advice^ Jhoudy by their many ufelefs
SubtiltieSy have done f much more harm than
good in the Science.
After the Ancients^ I alfo purfued with equal
Attention the pleafing Re fe arches of the Moderns ;
whofe Advances^ in Philqfophy and the liberal
Arts^ are the more frongly recommended to our
Confultation^ as they have a greater Tendency to
the Promotion of Phyfic. Tou may reafonably
fiippojey that thefe afforded a good deal of Pleafure
arid Entertainment to a Genim particularly turn--

edthat way-y hut ftill^ thro a boundlefs Liberty
cf framing Hypothefes, by audacioujly ajjerting
falfe or uncertain PrijtcipleSy and not taking
^tme and "Thought enough to conjider things in a
true Lights together with an ambitious Eager-
nefs to compleat the Science all at once ; but above
all^ either thro a NegleB^ Contempt^ or Igno-
rance oj^former Writers^ thro all thefe Mijcon-
du5isj Phy/ic feem'd to Jiand upon the tottering
Bajis of Uncertainty and Objcurity^ rather than
confirmed and improved by Truth and Evidence.
So that thd we may thank our PredeceJJ'ors for fo
freely accumulating Materials ^ whereby the Sci-
ence might be Jet out in a more perfeSl manner ;
we may yet regret the Fate of the Science ^ in that
it fhoudy by their voluminous Writings^ be ra-
ther overwhelmed and buried^ than exhibited to
Advantage.
Whilft I was making this Search^ ?2othing
feerridmore rational than tofift out and throw to-
gether^ from all thefe ancient and modern Wri-
tings^ whatever appear dfo found and re afonable^
that nobody Jkiird in the Science could diftrufl the
Truth of 'em. T^his Tajk being fir jl accomplifio-
ed^ my next Bufinefs was to form this promifcu-
Qus ColleSlion in a Jort of compendious Syjiem^
agreeable to the Rules of Method in teaching any
Science^ and infuch a manner as might make it
capable of being eajily and diligently cmfulted by
myfelf'y that if any thing new or unobferv dfhou d
offer in the Courfe of my Phyfical Employ, I might
have an Opportunity of referring to its proper

Head : and lajlly^ that by this means I might be
able to deliver and imprint faithfully fuch Ob--
Jervations on your Mindsy as had been before
weighed and digejied in my own for your Inte--
refis.
Tou have now feen the Motives from which I
became bold enough to increafe the too great Num-
ber of Medical Writers ^ by publiflnng my little
Book oj Aphorifms coiuerning the Knowledge and
Cure of Dijeafes. For which Piece of Prejum--
ption I blufhy as often as I think on the DefeSls
of the Booky with which I am too well acquaint-
edy or whenever I compare it with fome of the
7nore excellent Performances of the Ancients.
Being hence fenfble that its ImperfeSlions will
net reafonably fuppoj^t me under ^ or give any
room to look for the T'itle of a Good Author. I
coud not however avoid the Publication of thofe
Aphorifms y unlefs I woud have fight ed the Of
fee which public Authority had ajfg7ied me^ to
which Obedience ought to be paid.
Now when I compofed that Work^ I endea-
vour d cautioufy to avoid every thing that might
afford Matter of Danger or Error to Beginners ^
and as the Purpofe of the Book was chief y to deli-
ver rather the Method than Materials for treat-
ing Difeafes^ I took care to infert no Prefcripti-
ons of Medicines throughout the whole.
This no ways prejudiced the Defgn of that
Treatife^ but rather prevented much harm from

heard the Names of the Dijeafe and Medicine^
bo aft s himfelf Majler of the Faculty, preaching
up his Abilities every-where iinpiiniftd d, to the
T)eftru£iion of Mankind, till Wifdom comes too
late at the Expence of others Lives.
But being under an Obligation of acquainting
my Pupils, i7i Courje, with Examples oj this
Kind, I therefore wrote a few Sheets upon the
Materia Medica j^r their private Information^
containing proper Dire£lio?2s for managing that
Part ofPhyfick ; defigned only for the Ufe offccb
as gave their cloje Attention to my other DiBates
in the private Schools^ to whom alone they coud
be of Service.
And I can appeal to no body better than your
Jelves, as WitneJJes with what Caution I have
proceeded in this Pointy how frequejitly I have
confderd every little Particular, till I have be-
come even tirefome and odious to you, before I
wou'd venture to lay down the Name, or /peak
in Praife of any particular Medicine : beingjif-
ficientlyfenfible, that ?io Medicine can be given of
Service in every Difeafe, but, on the contrary,
1 have found that what has cured one Difeajc
under particular Circumjiances, has in different
Conftitutions and Stages of the very fame fD if cafe
proved of pernicious Confequcfice.
I thought it therefore iinproper to publtflo thefe
Formulae alone ^ without the necejjary Cautions

and Admonitions I endeavour to inculcate with
^em^ according to the beji of my Power^ when I

Auditors. But^ to my Grief it has happened
quite otherwife ; for^ a Perjon of Learning at
London got 'em puhlifod without my Willy or
even Knowledge^ who at the fame time feems to
think and write in too grand a manner of me^
and that vile Performance ; nor was this Pub--
lication executed without a good many Errors^
andfome of very bad Confequence.
T'his obliged me to revife the whole ^ correSl the
Errors y and make fever al Additions \ that it
might be better fitted for appearing in Prints to
fave them the trouble of tranfcribing^ for whofe
Ufe it is defigned. In the mean time I wou'd
clofely and faithfully admonijh you^ as a Friend^
to be thoroughly verfed in the Hijiory of P)ifeafes\
to be well acquainted with all the pernicious ^ as
well as falutary EfeBs of the Materia Medica ;
otherwife you will reap more Da?nage than Good
from what is contained in this little Book : which j,

Milk of a Woman in

Years, well exercifed, re-
gular in her Diet. It is
beft to fuck it from the
Breaft, or to drink it inftantly whilft it is
warm, but by no means to heat it over the
Fire. This is infinitely preferable to the
Milk of any other Animal, if it is drank im-
mediately as it comes from the Nurfe. Next
to this is AfTes Milk, then Goats Milk, and
thatofCov^s.

ting it over the Fire. Broth anfwers this End
extremely well,which is prepared from Flefh
well cleanfed of its Fat, belonging to a found,
young, well exercifed Animal, well beat,
and cut into fmall Pieces, cooked in Papitis
Digejler^ letting it ftand till it is cold in the
fame Machine, and then feparating it from
the Fat and Faeces. If you are not furnifh-
ed with this Machine you may ufe a Brafs
Pot, but the morefubtle Parts will evaporate:
Hence appears the Caufe of the Fiercenefs of
Animals, whofe Diet confifts of others that
devour their Prey alive.
Chicken Broth is preferable to that made
from any other Animal , next to this Veal
Broth, then Mutton, Beef. Broth made of
thefe mix'd is efteem'd the richeft.

Take of fine well fermented Bifcuit eight
ounces, of the pureft Spring- water three

It is (o called, when the foregoing Deco-
dtions acquire the Thicknefs of Cream.
A little of this Jelly mix d up with Milk,

This is a very grateful and wholefome De-
coftion of Bread. The Dofe is an Ounce,
to be taken warm every Hour.
If you add to this the Yolks of Eggs, you
have another Kind of Decodion, anfwering
the fame Ends, but in a fmaller Dofe.
Rough Florence Wines, rough French Cla-
ret, and black Grecian Wines that have an a-
ftringent Tafte, are recommended for this
Purpofe, becaufe they not only ftrengthen
the Fibre, but afford good Quantity of Spi-
rits.
