A34855	A discourse wherein the interest of the patient in reference to physick and physicians is soberly debated, many abuses of the apothecaries in the preparing their medicines are detected, and their unfitness for practice discovered : together with the reasons and advantages of physicians preparing their own medicine.	Coxe, Thomas, 1615-1685.; Coxe, Daniel, d. 1730.	1669 (1669)	Wing C6727; ESTC R25356	84,750	293
