have

and

for

the

Production of

a

This,

we

find,

Dr.

HIRZEL,

principal

Phyikian

of

Zurich,

had

in

Meditation,

wi

the

prefent

Treatite

appeared,

which

he

thought

had

fo

thoroughly

fulfilled his

own

Intention,

that it

prevented

his

attempting

to

execute

it.

But

the

great

Difficulty

confided

in

difcovering,

a

Phyfician,

who,

with

equal

Abilities,

Repi

tion

and

Practice,

fhould

be

qualified

with

that

much

rarer

Qualification

of

caring

ib

much

more

for

the

Health of

thole,

who

could

never

for

it,

than

for his

Profit

or

Eafe,

.

to

determine him to

project

and

to

accompliili

fo

neceffary,

and

yet

fo

(elf-denying,

a

Work.

For

as

Simplicity

he

propoied

in

the

Style

and

Manner

of

it,

by

condefcending,

in

the

Terms,

obliged

him

of

and

rather

and this

naturally

reminds

us

of

Expreflion

of

CATO,

or

Ancient,

"

that

However

fingular

may

now

appear,

the

Number

of

reputable

medical

Tranfktors

into

different

Languages,

which

this

original

Work

has

employed

on

the

Continent,

makes it

evident,

that

Influence

;

and

induce

many

to

imitate

that

Example,

which

they

either

could

not,

or did

not,

propofe.

As

the

has

proferTedly

all

Applaufe

on

the

and

contented

himfelf

with

hoping

an

o

endeavoured

to

extend

the

Benefits

of

their

Au

thor s

Treatife,

to

Multitudes of

their

own

Coun

try

and

Language.

For

my

own

Particular,

when

after

reading

the

Introduction

to

the

Work,

and

much

of

the

Sequel,

I had

determined

to

tranflate

it

-

y

to

be

as

jujft

as

pcfiible

to

the

Author,

and

to

his

En-

vii

glifo

Readers,

I

determined not

to

interpolate

any

Sentiment

of

my

own

into

the

Text,

nor

to

omit

one

Sentence

of

the

Original,

which,

he-

fides

its

being

Detraction in its literal

Senfe,

I

thought

might

imply

it in its

worft,

its

figurative

one

;

for

which

there

was

no

Room.

To

con

form

as

fully

as

poffible

to

the

Plainnefs

and

Per-

ipicuity

he

propofed,

I

have

been

pretty

often

obliged

in

the

anatomical

Names of

fome

Parts,

and

fometimes/of

the

Symptoms,

as

well

as

in

fome

pretty

familiar,

though

not

entirely

popular

Words,

to

explain

all

fuch

by

the

mod

common

Words

I

have

heard

ufed

for

them

as

to

or

Trach&a

or

Windpipe

and

fo

of

many

others.

This

may

a

little,

though

but

a

little,

have

extended

the

Tranflation

beyond

the

Original

;

as

the oreat

Affinity

between

the

French

and

Latin,

the

former

and

Tautology,

may

be

irkfome

to

many

Ears,

for

will

readily

with

Dr.

Plan,

from

tending

for

from

at

Lyons,

which

lies

in

a

Climate

fomewhat

more

diffe

rent

from

our

own

than

that

It

is

probable

neverthelefs,

I

have retained

a

few

more

than were

neceffary

in

a

profeiTed

Tranfla-

tion

of

the

original

Work

: but

wherever

I have

done

this,

I

have

generally

fubjoined

my

Motive

for

it

;

of whatever

CV

nfequence

that

may appear

to

the Reader.

I

have retained all

the

Author

s

own

Notes,

with

his Name annexed to

them

or

if ever

Annotator

was

uncertain

to

me,

that the

nor

to

principal

Recommendation,

or

Apology

is,

that

whatever

mentioned

are

certainly

true.

I

have

endeavoured

to

be

in

their

Number

and

Length,

and

to

prevails

throughout

been

not

the

has

and

The

and

may

poilibly

difguft

fome

Admirers

of

pompous

But

his

in this

has

been

thoroughly

with

his

Notion

of

do

Mutilation

of

of

or

the

Con

of

Some

Perfons

may

imagine

that a

Treatife

of

this

Kind,

compofed

for the

Benefit

of

labouring

People

in

may

be little

applicable

to

and

this,

in

Particulars,

and

in

may

be

admitted.

But

It

may

be

obferved

too,

that

from

I

have

ibmetimes

afTumed

the

Liberty

of

difTenting

from

as for In

on

of

which

perhaps

is

as

I

have fre

in

admitted

not

of

into

the

limited

Diet

of

and

con-

ftantly

without

the

ill

Coniequence.

Thus

alfo

in

Note

*

Page

287,

I

have

prefumed

to

affirm the

Fact,

that

a

ftrong fpirituous

Infu-

licn

of

the

Bark

has

fucceeded

more

fpeedily

in

fome

Intermittents,

in

particular

Habits,

than

the

Bark in Subftance.

This I

humbly

conceive

may

be

owing

to

fuch

a

Mcnjlruums

extracting

the

Refin of

the

Bark more

effectually

(and

fo

conveying

it

into

the

Blood)

than

the

Juices

of

the

Stomach

and

of

the

alimentary

Canal

did,

or

could.

For

it

is

very

conceivable

that

theCr^/fr,

the

Confiftence,

of

the

fibrous

Blood

may

fome-

times

be

affected

with

a

morbid

Laxity

or Weak-

nefs,

as

as

the

Syftem

of

in his

Introductions

it

is conceived

this Book

muft

be ferviceable

to

many

young

Country

Practitioners,

and

to

great

Numbers

of

Apothecaries,

by

furniihing

theni

with

fuch

exact

and

ftriking

Defcriptions

of

each

acute Difeafe

and

its

Symptoms,

as

may prevent

their

mifbking

it

for

any

other;

a

Deception

which

has

certainly

often been

injurious,

and

fometimes

even

fatal

:

for

it

is

dreadful

but

to

contemplate

the

Deftruction

or

Mifery,

with

which

Temerity

and

Ignorance,

Ib

frequently

combined,

overwhelm the Sick. Thus

more

Succefs

and

Reputation,

with

the

Enjoyment

of

a better

Confcience,

would crown

their

Endea

vours,

by

a

more

general Recovery

of,

or

Relief

to,

their

Patients. To

effect

this,

to

improve

every

Opportunity

of

efchewing

medical

Evil;

and

of

doing

medical

Good,

was

the

Author
