THE Kitchin-Physician OR A GUIDE FOR GOOD-HOUSEWIVES IN Maintaining their Families in health Wherein are described The Natures Causes and Symptoms of all Diseases inward and outward incident to the Bodies of Men Women and Children Prescribing natural useful and proper Medicines both in Physick and Chirurgery as well for the prevention as speedy Cure of the said Distempers Adorned with Sculptures shewing the proper place of every Distemper in the Body Published for the common good of City Country By T. K. Doctor in Physick London Printed for Samuel Lee Stationer over against the Post-Office in Lumbard-street 1680. To the READER I Have here set before your view a prospect of the rich Garden of Nature adorned with nothing but its own simple qualities which at first was not obliged to any of the Learned to Translate it into Galenical Compositions or any Artificial Experiments but was made use on by our fore-Fathers for their relief in Sickness and Malady long before Physick was brought into a Profession and the Professors of it courted by the Ignorant when they received in ordinary and common Distempers little more than a bare Complement from them save onely referring them to their Mother Nature the true and original Healer of such Diseases And although this small Attempt may receive Opposition from some mean-spirited Physitians whose Interest may be invaded by the Publication of it and who are Impostors of Physick with pretended Universal Medicines Yet my design is though bred up a Physitian to leave this as a Legacy to my Country before my gray hairs go down to the Grave purely to make them their own Physitians in cases not dubious nor requiring the utmost improvement of Nature into a well-digested and consulted conclusion of Art And by the way I would not have the Reader think that I have the least ill Opinion of the Elaborate Inventions and ingenious Experiments of the Learned in bringing Physick to the utmost perfection for I have a great adoration for all such worthy Improvers of Nature but I am not of Opinion that their assistance is necessary in common and ordinary distempers which many times the diligent Nurse or Housewife by her plain and common Experience in Herbs and Plants cures when they by their sublime and too high strained applications leave the Patient in a desperate condition And therefore I hope these my poor endeavours will be kindly entertained by such of my Country-men as will not entertain prejudice thereto before-hand and do not fear that any Learned Physitian will think ill of this Publication especially if what it contains be true and certain as I hope it is his Business and Imployment being of a far higher nature De ordine Naturae and seeming rather by his great attempt as it were to dispute with our great Mother her self in matters where she is sometimes at a Ne plus ultra This I thought good to premise to the sober Reader and heartily wish that it may answer my honest design therein Farewel T.
