have we not noble Experiments about our Body and its liquors being affected by ambient bodies comparisons made and Histories of the comparisons that have been by the combination of Salts with Salts Liquors with Liquors and even trials of all those upon our Liquors I 'm of the opinion that we ought to proceed with all these trials but how to absolve and what use is to be made of those Observations I am convinced that you do not know we shall see immediately what familiar Theories you raise in the curing of the Gout from all those discoveries what vindications you make and what reason you give for your Medicins I 'm affraid we shall find you so uncapable to apprehend the circumstances of a nice Experiment that you are not even able to give us a genuin History of a Disease I agree with you that I believe that the Physicians since the Restoration of K. Ch. II. have made greater discoveries in the Anatomy than any but for my part I don't pretend to know the Doctors abroad I have told you of my Masters that have been fam'd for some new piece of Learning and all that in my time so I 'm apt to believe what you say tho' I have sometimes heard of a French Fellow that told us a Story of the Lacteal Vessels when the noise of discoveries was so great at home I have heard of Bartholin D'Graaf and some others I cannot call to mind which makes me believe we had some pretty Experiments abroad But as for the Fluids these poor these damn'd Fluids that make us sick and well I have seen Mr. Boyl and some others making a great many Experiments upon them and I have been told that one Malpighius Lewenhoeck and some other Fellows have taken Glasses Spectacles I don't know how you call them to look into them but these are Gentlemen below your notice and so you think they have been neglected But the College abounds with Men of such large Capacities and Faith so it does and I hope will in spite of you that I hope they 'l always be a doing something worthy of that noble Faculty But you a fearful defamer to talk as you have of Physicians ought to be Scandalum Magnatum you are convinc d your Book wou'd never be read abroad and so you freely call them Ignorants guessers and I don't know what but your Malice too does carry you so far as to defame a Member of this College because he 's Dead another you name because perhaps his talent is to be modest or to neglect such pretenders as you and a third forsooth you will not name tho' you cou'd not conceal him among such as you take to be your Friends but I 'le tell you that when we come to his Story I le name them and him after you and let you see too that you never expos'd your self more than in relating of that Observation but all this in good time and if thus you deal underhand with our living Members and openly with him that is Dead God have mercy upon the shortest livers they 'l be sure to have your Tongue for a Purgatory in a Protestant Common-wealth Now your whole Introduction being compleated by the next Paragraph I will look into that and leave the honest Gentleman that intrusts you with his Letters to the mercy of the World Aâ— I have before said so I shall now repent it again that I may not be misunderstood by any one that tho' I commend Acids in the Cure of Diseases yet I do not pretend that any one Acid will answer all Intentions there being a mighty difference in the Operation and Nature of Acids That Acid that will Cure an Acute Distemper generally speaking will not cure a Chronical one I have generally observed that volatile Acids are most effectual in Acute Distempers and fix'd ones in those Distempers we call Chronick ones But in these every Man's practice must be regulated and govern'd by Observation For as Physick had its Rise and Original from Observation so I am sure that by observation only it is capable of being brought to perfection What greater confusion can any Man discover than there is here in these few lines if his only and certain principles can give him no greater Lights and Notions in his Study and beloved Opinions the Lord have mercy upon those Patients from whom he 's to gather the History of Diseases and if we stammer so in explaining our selves our common discourse must needs be self-evident Pray why don't you at least tell us a Story of those vast differences that are in the Operations of Acids if you cannot tell me whence that difference comes I may very easily mistake one Acid for another and then play the Devil with my Patient 't is true he was convinc'd by his Blood that 't was Alkalin and therefore 't was to be cur'd by an Acid and then if it does not take but does him harm he himself was judge but the Disease did master us Pray good Mr. Member What is it that this Acid does with the Fluids Does it make the Blood run quicker or flower but I beg your pardon again for you say you know nothing of that What then do you say That the Acid that will cure an Acute distemper generally speaking will not cure a Chronical one so far all 's well for generally only 't will not do it then I may give either without any considerable mistake but then generally again you say you have observ'd that Violatil Acids are most effectual in Acute Distempers and fix'd ones in those we call Chronick ones now to speak freely I do not believe you know the difference betwixt Acute and Chronical distempers as you say you call them for in the Acute Diseases such Dr. Willis and my other Masters call Fevers the Blood seems to be all volataliz'd it flies about like lightning and therefore every thing that s Volatile flying damn those Latin words I think must make it fly faster and in Chronical Distempers as a Dropsie c. How the Devil wou'd a Sick Man of common Sense nay one that 's in Bedlam look upon me if I bid him drink large draughts of fixt Acids Vinegar viz. as you tell me c. every hour of the Day Cure that won't take that 's too bare faced and I find you smell it when you leave that to be regulated by ever Man s Apprentice Is this the Man that wou d have a Thousand Pound a Year towards a Labarotary This is a way to kill more than a Thousand Pound 's worth of Powder and Ball and he says that 's spent every Year to kill the Enemies abroad and he wou'd have as much to kill the Friends at home If it had been the Jacobites it had been tolerable but Friend and Foe and to give a Fee too to be kill'd is the Devil and all But pray what Observations are you like to make you have only two things to deal

To the President and other Members of the Royal College of Physicians London Gentlemen OUR Countrey is the most fam'd of any in the World for the Liberty we enjoy and the security we have made to our Property by its excellent Laws Yet I think Societies are upon some occasions so very strict that to less discerning Eyes they may seem meer Monopolies I must complain of my own hardships in this matter especially but to whom I know not for t is from You that all my misfortunes flow and since this Error of the first Concoction cannot be so easily retrieved among you by Reason of the fault and defect in the Constitution that hinders People of singular parts tho' now of a mean Office at last to arrive to the liberty of being admitted a Fellow among you to be a Licentiate will not go down since Colbatch s admission I confess I did once resolve to have suppress'd all those aspiring thoughts with considerations of Religion but when I see scandalous Libels thrown about against you and these so fitted to the Capacity of the Mob that you think their Author below your wrath I must perswade my self that my Religion obliges me to secure my Neighbour's good Name and that the following defence of my old Masters may entitle me a great deal better to a Diploma than any thing this feigned friend of the College can pretend to and may also prevent my Petitioning the King and Parliament to oblige you to do me Justice But if we look into the merit of the Cause it must be allowed me that I who have seen so many Dissections heard so many Lectures over-heard so many Examinations of Young Physicians I who have kept the Books written by our learned Members and have very often carried their Gowns and Caps must be a great deal more knowing in all the difficult parts of Physick than He. Did I not hear the learned Dr Harvey talk after so lively a manner of the Blood 's Circulation and his Generation ex Ovo that I vow and swear I have thought I have seen the Drunken Heart spew out its Blood into the great Artery and I could trace its Stages thro' the whole Body then for the business of the Valves I have so lively an Idea of them that I can show you them only by looking upon you Skin But as for the Generation that did so tickle me when I was a Young Man that I easily apprehended the false Notions of former Physicians upon that Subject I can yet give a very plain description of that genital liquor attacking the ripe Egg in the Ovarium and a great deal more that I saw at some diffections he made to King Charles II. nay for my part I thought all this matter was so clear that I wonder the Dr never found the way to get a Male-child at one bout of a Consummation Action We have Sir George Ent's Book too that defends his Circulation contra omnes mortales for as easy a matter as Colbatch thinks it but had he had to do with Parisanus the old fellow wou'd have plaid the Devil with him and his Ligature too then came Dr Glisson with his Livers Stomachs and Guts so nicely prepar'd that the Secretion of the Gall the Digestion the business of the Chyle and the Excrements were so familiar to me that I had no difficulties left me in that affair But as for Dr Willis he was the first that taught us to dissect the Brain that we might see all its parts when Physicians before him were content to slice it down like a piece of Pudding and when Des Cartes did see his Glandula Pinealis sticking in a slice like a Plum he was a great Master who could hit upon it once in five times but our Dr cou'd show you any thing and when you pleas'd he trac'd out all the Nerves and describ'd nobly the whole Brain I have heard him talk of his Anima Brutorum his Books of Fermentation Vrins Fevers c. with that exactness that I must own that I have had sometimes the Vanity to think my self as learned a Physician as himself Dr Wharton began first to number the Glands and to undeceive the World of a fancy they had about Parenchymatous substances Next came Dr Lower who told us of the Hearts being Muscular and put it under the same laws he tells us in the same Book of putting Blood out of one Animal into another and what advantage that may be in curing some Diseases Dr Havers gives us a Book of the Make of the Bones and Dr Riddley gives us a Lecture upon the Brain tho' a Frenchman one de Vuyssens had made Dr Willis's way more clear yet not so much neither but that the Dr has done it in greater order Dr Garth read very finely upon Respiration and the use of the Lungs Dr Lister has oblig'd us with the Anatomy of Snails and Dr Cockburn with an O Econom Animalis Of Botanaists we have had a vast number and lately Dr Sloan has given us an excellent account of the Plants of the Leeward Islands Pharmacians a great many and lately Dr Bates But for the Theory and practice of Medicin no Countrey has exceeded us in my time Willis both for the Theory and the Practice Dr Charleton Sir Theoder Mayern Dr Bates Dr Morton and Dr Cockburn who first told us how they are sick at Sea Now can any Man think that I can be such a blockhead as to have liv'd among all these Masters in Medicin to be bred up as it were at the foot of Gamaliel and for so long a time and not to be better qualified for my Admission than a fellow that either cannot think or at least cannot tell us what he thinks and yet is so vain as to esteem himself more knowing than any of your worthy and learned Members one of whom he attacks because he s Dead one still alive and by Name and another he has only the courage to hint at tho' he has told his story so plainly over the Town that 't is now no great difficulty to know him and therefore I may hope that my thus proving a dutiful Servant in giving my self all this trouble may give me greater pretences to a Diploma and to be more and more Gentlemen Your most Obedient Humble Servant S. W. THE PREFACE TO John Colbatch SIR YOVR Book fell first into my hands on Ash-Wednesday after I came from Church and I was glad to think you had hit upon an absolute Cure of the Gout a demonstrative one at least as you please to call it
in the frontispiece Your Dedication smelt somewhat of Gratitude which is still well but when I found this demonstration was to be turn'd upon Acid and Alkali or a thing we do not understand I began to suspect your knowledge yet I thought it possible that new lights might be discovered even by you in this matter and surely you had not the Impudence to promise us a Demonstration of a thing we know nothing of after a great deal of enquiry and really when I lookt first into your Preface you wou'd make us expect no less than Revelation but all this soon vanish'd into Dreaming Asserting Defaming downright all foreign Physicians then the lesser half of the College it self and next the greater for really the praise you give them is so invidiously turn'd that t is one of the worst pieces of Satyr The Scene thus odly chang'd very strangely at least as to my expectation rais d in me quite other apprehensions my Church thoughts were not the very same my passion grew almost into fury to see my Masters so ill us'd and one whom Nature had laid asleep and forbid us to remember him to his disadvantage yet his Ashes were to be rais d for your trifle about the Gout I confess I cou'd hold no longer but the duty that s incumbent upon every man to defend his own or his friend s Reputation made me find some time from business to become an Author tho' that was when I had attempted a second reading and after ten days 'T is the defence of all foreign Physicians and a great many of our own that I have undertaken a task I acknowledge too bold for me with any one but your self and ev n these few that are excepted must fall too when you are out of the apprehensions of an Answer or any other inconveniency from them this is no forc d and unnatural conclusion for notwithstanding your turning over Books to no purpose as you say very well foreign Physicians and my Masters are agreed in most things of Physick so that if your design were to destroy Opinions and lay under no fears of Men you might have as easily run down all the College as Ignoramus's as you have done the learned men abroad all these foreigners since the beginning of the World all our dead Gentlemen and a third of what 's alive surely my living Masters that are spar'd cannot have better pretences than They nay I le answer for them that they re asham'd on your behalf and angry too that you have parted them from so good company but esprcially that you huve join'd them to your self Have not you done Dr. Cole a great deal of honour in obtruding upon him your ridiculous jargon and to call them his Opinions Opinions he was very familiar with or because you are the first that vends em opinions that he has lenrn't from you Is there any such stuff in his Book de Secretione Animali his letter of an Apoplexy or his Book of Agues if my memory fails me not he s among one of your Dunces that make that Disease proceed from the Acidity of the Blood as Dr. Jones does and yet you may make him say here that 't is an Alkali that 's the Original of that sickness old People men say are twice Children yet he is not quite so old as to forget what he said lately to chatter after you but since you use your Friend your Patron no better I think your Doctors you make War upon have no reason to complain In this Preface of yours you have got into a Cant of Experimental knowledge Experiments upon the Blood and such things you understand and use the very same way that Enthusiasts do the Scripture these are the best help to Natural Knowledge as the Scripture are to Divine but all this meer Jargon Cant and Nonsense in your mouth who cannot understand them and in my opinion the only way of proselyting you must be the same that the Church-men take with their Enthusiasts to despise you Are not you a rare Fellow to pretend to make an Experiment who after all your toyl all your reading and all your Disquisition are pleas'd to tell us that Physicians have hitherto unanimously agreed that Acids have abounded in all Diseases this is as wonderful an advantage as you have gain'd by reading of them for 't is manifestly false and if we were to look into the state of Physick in former Ages or ev'n in our own time we can find no such Vniversal Consent but now when I think of it you only said if turning over of Books wou'd do it that you shou'd rest satisfied but that will not do nay distilling and combining of Liquors so long as your eyes are open will never make one Experiment without some Book-learning which to you is a bug-bear You see how well an accomplish'd Gentleman you are like to prove for making Experiments and so you have very good reason to say that in your Introduction you have made use of a Familiar and easy Experiment to confirm the truth of your New Hypothesis and if any one shall take upon them to answer what you have said in this or any of your former Pieces you expect that they should back their Arguments with Experiments or you shall take no notice of them What good service your Familiar Experiment is like to do you turn the leaf and there you ll find it but pray if one may ask questions tell me what Syrup of Violets it self is Acid or Alkalin according to this Familiar Experiment 't is nothing for Syrup of Violets added to Syrup of Violets dissolv d in an aqueous Body may augment the quantity but will still be blue Ergo tis nothing because neither Acid nor Alkali the next time you write be sure to make a Syrup of Violets principle h. e. every thing that does not change the Colour is Violaceous and find some Disease to be made or Cur d by it so there will be Three and Musae gaudent Numero Impari the principles of Sal Sulphur and Mercury are Three Des Cartes's are Three and yours are Three but this I 'm affraid you won't like because you affect singularity And as for answering your pieces I know no body will be at the pains but a Porter nay I 'le promise you that when I had done I had a great dispute with my self if I shou'd do you the honour but a little for my Masters and helping off the Bookseller with the damn d Copy did prevail but here I faithfully promise and swear that no more of my Stoln time from other business shall be employ'd that way But pray Why are all your Books Pieces nothing but Artillery sounds with you since you was in Flanders the Preface before was Powder and Ball and now Pieces for the Powder and Ball not so good Member your Pieces are harmless things enough any body may attack them and that more easily and with more safety
with and these are both of a sort yet you cannot tell us how to manage them but there s more in this matter Diseases don 't always appear with the same face no not in the same person at different times Oh then what can I do nay any thing and take a Fee Now in short Mr. Member I le tell you that Physick was neither begun nor can be promoted by such Observations And thus having made a hopeful Introduction we must expect a learned and useful practice which I now will follow him into and leave him singing his Io triumph's over the learning of the Introduction by which he has baffled all Foreign Physicians some Dead ones and all living ones without names CHAP. I. Of the GOVT He begins first with the Names the Gout has obtain'd among Physicians when they would tell any one of its having seiz'd upon any one part of the Body tho' this sorting by-name he seems to arrogate to himself but pray Sir do you know that the most of the Names you have told us are all Greek Heathen Greek and how came they by those names without ranging this Disease into the same order you pretend to They gave name to the Sciatica too but you have forgot it But not to insist too long upon Names where the thing is so plain especially since you have afforded me more matter to reflect upon than really I can be at the trouble to consider that I will tell you that 't is no other than to read your Book and to write an answer for I have no other before me but your own And now to begin you tell us p. 16. § 3. of the different opinions Authors have vented about the seat and original of this Disease but I will delay speaking any thing to that subject now because its proper place is a little after this but since you now begin your description I will tell you that I will have no consideration about that since your owing it to Dr. Sydenham which is more than you confess has miraculously obtain'd him from you the Character of a fair and honest man and I will content my self to attack you where you first begin to shew your Learning in p. 16. § ult I cannot agree say you with those Gentlemen who will have all pain to proceed from a solution of Continuity which in plain English is either a Wound or Ulcer Now for my part I can't see why we should not be made sensible of any thing that injures us which whatsoever causeth pain doth without destroying the Integrity of the parts and it 's plain whatever causeth a solution of unity must destroy the Integrity of them Further Malbranche tells us that our Sences were given us to guard ourselves from injuries and that they never fail to answer the end for which they were given us They are never guilty of Deceiving us as for instance our Taste c. and all these proceed from a placid vellication of the Membranes Pain proceeds from a Contraction of the Fibres and Pleasure from a pacid relaxation of them which being granted c. My Masters the Physicians I assure you do not care whether you agree with them or not but why the pox won't you agree with your self for you say that a solution of Continuity in plain English is a Wound or an Ulcer then in the very next paragraph that a Blow with a blunt thing upon any part which only bruiseth it will occasion greater pain than if the same part were cut with a sharp instrument although the one only compresseth the parts and the other divides them asunder and so makes a perfect solution of Unity Now good Mr. Member did ever any one but your self call a Contusion by the name of Wound or Vlcer Nay I 'm convinc'd you will not say so neither and I 'll undertake to prove to you that pain is a solution of Unity and then you ll see that not only Contusions but even Wounds and Ulcers that make more sensible solutions of Unity may make pain yet still there comes another inconvenience upon the heels of this for we see that the pain of a Contusion is greater by your own confession than the pain by a sharp instrument yet this pain in a Contusion is not so great at least not greater than the pain of the Gout and this you tell us only comes from the sharp pointed particles that may affect the membranes of the Toe and do you think then that those particles have more points and are sharper than the Knives and Saw that Surgeons use in amputations but this en passpant Now for the other part that we ought to be made sensible of any thing that injures us which whatsoever causeth pain doth without destroying the Integrity of the parts What he means by this I cannot understand neither is it true English and I don't know any body but will acknowledge that pain makes him sensible with a vengeance but why should we be made sensible without destroying the integrity of the parts For a Wound and an Ulcer by his own confession causes pain and yet he says too that in Wounds and Ulcers there is a solution of Vnity or the Integrity of the parts broke off But what a Devil brought Father Malebranche hither was it to let us know he has seen his Book de la recherche de la verit More of his works he pretends not to have seen and even that I 'm convinc'd he never read in the Original or English translation for this proves nothing to his purpose But I 'll tell you good Mr. Member that the great design of that part of the Book you quote is to prove to us the real design and use of our senses ho tells you that they are made serviceable to our design of living and that in a due distance in a proper Medium and when there 's a Mens sana in Corpora sano we are never deceiv'd by them in what they represent to us he tells you that beyond a due distance a House that is square will appear round The reason he gives you but you don't understand it yet he maintains that tho the House is really square and we apprehend it to be Round our sences are not deceived because the object is not round at a proper distance but why it appears round rather than of any other Figure he makes very plain after the same manner he tells you that if you put your black Stick with the white Head for so much only you have of a Fop Doctor into clear Water your Stick will appear bent yet when you pull it out you find it as straight as it was and notwithstanding this Paradox your Eyes perfectly well if you but saw as Pere Malebranch did your reason wou'd tell you all the time It is in the water that 't is very strait But how comes all this authority in to condemn poor solution of Unity Is it because he tells
else you are pleas'd to dictate upon this occasion which is that besides the necessary Conclusions to be made from reiterated Experiments of Distilling or Analizing by Fire the Blood of those People who labour under the Fit of the Gout the generating of the Chalky Substance contained in the Node during that time and those Nodes nor that chalky Substance are at any other time produced but during the very time of the Fit from this very production alone it plainly appears that the Blood and other Juices c. Here I set your Achillean Argument in its best and most favourable Light and after I tell you that I pass your rediculous stuff about this matter being bred all in one Fit c. I must enquire of you what this proves in the general about the Alkality of the Blood in the time of any Sickness and then I 'll tell you that 't is not against the Doctrine establish'd before upon supposing the Truth of Acid and Alkali being the real Principles of Bodies tho' at the same time Dr. Blankard tells you that you Chymists as you please to title your self say that all Fermentation arises from the Combination of Acid and Alkali tho' you say most astonishingly from the Alkali only but you are both agreed that Acids are more the causes of Quiet or Rest now Quiet is a necessary requisite for Petrification and consequently that the Acids is more fit to make the parts of this Stony and Chalky Substance unite but a great deal more than that bustling Alkali that causes Fermentation and Disunion of parts but again I must tell you that you will not have it an Alkali neither for you lay this as a general Truth that whatever changes a Solution of Syrup of Violets with water or an Aqueous Body into Green is an Alkali and now you tell us that when this Chalky Substance is Calcin'd it will turn Syrup of Violets Green and sometimes tho' not always will do the same without Calcination Here is indeed Chymical Sense every thing that changes Syrup of Violets dissolv'd in Water into a Green Colour is an Alkaline Substance the Chalky Stuff taken out of Gouty Nodes seldom do it ergo 't is an Alkali positively Alkali Is not this a hopeful Conclusion But Sir I know you despise the Maxims of my poor old Masters that have always told us that the cause and effect are the same or the cause and effect are always together and never separated here by a piece of sublimated Knowledge you tell us that 't is the Essence of an Alkali which makes us call a Body so because it works these changes upon your Syrup of Violets yet here 's no such change but yet it must be an Alkali How are you to be understood 'T is an Alkali and 't is not an Alkali well but say you Calcine it then it will do but pray why must I Calcine it that it might be more Homogeneous as you call it and liker what it is in the Body but how am I sure that there is such a Fire in our Bodies and a Chymist that makes these Alkalines or that the Fire has made this Substance more natural some change it has undergone it did not change your Syrup now it does but is it become more natural But these are things of common Sense and you Chymists despise all that and therefore I tell you that I 'll leave all the rest of this damn'd Jargon and your whole II Chapter too about the Regulation of the non Naturales as you call them because I would only vindicate my old Masters and have a touch at your belov'd Medicine before I 've done yet I must tell you that Dr. Garth in his Lecture proved it evidently that no Air was mixt with the Blood in the Lungs and another said that it would make it less Fluxil if it was so and because People live most upon Air by your Experiment which you bring us I wou'd advise you to get into a Glass Vessel with a cover that 's peirced to let in the Air then Substracting two thirds of your ordinary allowance because of the Experiment and a half of the other third because you now are quiet and do not perspire so much as when you go about in your Coach and smoke Tobacco in the Coffee-Houses and then we 'll know more of the matter But let 's leave this and look into your III. Chapter and there you tell us that To Demonstrate the Insufficiency of the Method of Cure both heretofore and at this time in common practice by the generality of Physicians for the well performance of which I shall give you the whole Method taken by a great Physician Sir John Gordon since dead with a Noble Lord the Lord Carlisle he used all the Alkalious Medicines c. He was a Man very fit to teach you Mr. Member both by Instructing you in any part of Physick and curbing that insolent impudent forwardness of yours and 't is well you have nick'd the time so well as to accuse him after he is Dead and when he may have no Friend out of his own Country but I can assure you for once that his Death was very much regretted by worthy and learned People that had known his dextrerous Hand in ordering and adjusting a Medicine his Merits I acknowledge are as far above my praise as they are above your snarling and therefore I will only ask why this great Man was to expiate for former and present Physicians he never told you that 't was the Gout he was to cure my Lord Carlisle of and how come you to know it were not there Books of former Physicians that told you I give Alkalies for the Gout and Physicians alive that justify this practice why was not their Blood to be sprinkled before your Threshold dead Authors may have defenders and live ones will but here 's a Man for the purpose he has few Friends here and my Books being only design'd for the Mob they are not only not read here but they 're sure never to go into Scotland Yet may I presume to tell you that the usage of the French in disturbing the Ashes of the Dead at Hailbron Two Years ago after they had taken it was reckon'd a piece of the most inhuman and barbarous Cruelty that ever was heard of They were incens'd Enemies and might have done it in fury and in a mad fit but for you to do almost the same thing and more considering the circumstances is unpardonable It not only shows the meanness of your Soul but the apprehensions you lye under as to other Physicians of your own time But when did you learn this Story was it about the time that you had the impudence to come in upon the practice of one of the greatest and justly eminent Chyrurgeons of this Town for my Lady Carlile and was in a very short time after sent a packing for your success truly this is a very remarkable
