A33709	A physico medical essay concerning alkaly and acid so far as they have relation to the cause or cure of distempers : wherein is endeavoured to be proved that acids are not (as is generally and erroneously supposed) the cause of all or most distempers, but that alkalies are : together with an account of some distempers and the medicines with their preparations proper to be used in the cure of them : as also a short digression concerning specifick remedies / by John Colbatch.	Colbatch, John, Sir, 1670-1729.	1696 (1696)	Wing C5003; ESTC R26032	33,359	174

own_o that_o it_o may_v be_v rational_o enough_o object_v that_o my_o doctrine_n of_o acid_n do_v mighty_o thwart_v with_o that_o of_o specific_v since_o there_o be_v many_o specific_v that_o be_v neither_o alkaly_n nor_o acid_n yet_o seldom_o fail_v of_o cure_v distemper_n as_o rational_o to_o be_v suppose_v to_o proceed_v from_o alkalious_a particle_n abound_v as_o any_o whatsoever_o to_o

of_o alkaly_n for_o shall_v i_o deny_v the_o doctrine_n of_o specific_v i_o must_v deny_v matter_n of_o fact_n which_o be_v what_o i_o shall_v never_o do_v till_o i_o be_o total_o deprive_v of_o my_o
