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

lest_o i_o offend_v nice_a queasy_a stomach_n i_o shall_v dismiss_v this_o subject_a and_o proceed_v to_o another_o which_o be_v the_o carelessness_n of_o apothecary_n and_o their_o apprentice_n on_o which_o i_o can_v never_o reflect_v without_o fear_n and_o indignation_n indignation_n to_o think_v what_o number_n have_v be_v destroy_v and_o injure_v by_o such_o proceed_n fear_v lest_o it_o
