TO His much Honoured JOHN KNIGHT Esq Serjeant Chirurgeon to His MAJESTY SIR AFter Mr. Pearses Command and Approbation had obliged me to make publick what in an accidental congress of some Chirurgeons in London I had transitorily delivered concerning the constrictive faculty of Oleum Terebinthinae I soon resolved to address the results of my obedience to him in a dedication to your self in which presumption I am become encouraged and confirmed by many prevailing considerations the principal of which is your readiness to undertake its Patronage and permission given me so to direct it Motives not much less considerable and important are your kind and charitable approving what I have there delivered the many other favours you have conferred on me the courtesie with which at all times and occasions you have treated me the competency of your Judgment to licence and justifie my procedure the eminency of your place no mean demonstration of your abilities and merit If the extraordinary intuition of the great Master especially of men medically professed and your having so long served him as his personal Chirurgeon be considered And lastly the benefit of your Countenance and Patronage to promulgate and credit the Discourse among the military Men of our Art over whom you have so high an Office and influence These Sir were the occasions of my affixing your Name to so mean a trifle and these are the sentiments I have of those motives the former enforced me to this presumption the latter have obliged me thankfully to acknowledg your favours and ever to be Sir Plimouth July 5. 1678. Your most devoted humble Servant JAMES YONGE THE PREFACE THough the Mercurius every Term and the Gazette twice a week redundantly answer that common enquiry of the literate What new Books are come out yet considering some writings of the present day relating to our Art Solomon long since anticipated a sutabler Response There is nothing new under the Sun Such plagiary obsolete stuff as they consist of being obtruded on the World to no better use than verifie a Paradox of great affinity with that of the wise King Nihil dictum quod non dictum prius justifying also his common censure they contain nothing new Such ridiculous and easie thieves are their Authors that they expose to publick sale the plate c. they steal without altering what may discover it except the name of the proprietor in place of which they insert their own the only thing they can justly call so except the vain picture and ordinary Title in the frontispiece such uncunning Pens are so far from obliging the World that they become our debtors not only for the money their books cost but for the time mispent in perusing them That I may with equal innocency and truth make this reflection here will I hope good Reader be manifest to thee on a candid and ingenuous perusal of the ensuing Discourse when in the most material part thereof thou shalt find things neither old nor borrowed somewhat of the last may have occurred in the collateral part disowned by quotation where also I may have had the luck to jump with another man's Opinion and sense but that being mostly if at all in the reflections c. to nick another man's sense is but to have his experience when I aver it impossible but the same inconveniencies must occur to his notice and consequently be he ingenious cannot escape his Censure To quit my self wholly from stealing other mens Notions or Inventions and publishing them as my own there remains yet a piece of Justice for me to do which relates to the subject Arcanum if it be not new to the Public my memory or my intelligence hath failed me that it was communicated to me some years since by a worthy * Dr. J.

Richmond of Liverpool Physician upon my dismembring a Patient to us both is my duty to acknowledg though I conceal his name because he confess'd it a Secret revealed to him by another whose private and original exploration it was The ground of whose finding it is so notable that it deserves your notice Some Chirurgeons using the Levant had told him That the Turks as soon as they have amputated use to dip the stump in hot Tar and that they thereby securely restrained the Flux and laid the foundation of a very good digestion The way seeming too brutish and terrible to be
