A65251	An examination of a late treatise of the gout wherein John Colbatch's demonstrations are briefly refuted, the College cleared from his scandalous imputations; and a short account of his vulnerary powder.

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
