THE Family-Physician AND THE House-Apothecary CONTAINING I. Medicines against all such Diseases people usually advise with Apothecaries to be cured of II. Instructions whereby to prepare at your own Houses all kinds of necessary Medicines that are prepared by Apothecaries or prescribed by Physicians III. The exact Prices of all Drugs Herbs Seeds simple and compound Medicines as they are sold at the Druggists or may be sold by the Apothecaries IV. That it 's plainly made to appear that in preparing Medicines thus at your own Houses that it 's not onely a far safer way but you shall also save Nineteen Shillings in Twenty comparing it with the extravagant Rates of many Apothecaries By GIDEON HARVEY M. D. Physician in Ordinary to his Majesty The Second Edition Revised by the Author Printed for M. R. and are to be sold by the Booksellers of London 1678. Imprimatur May 6. 1676. G. Iane. THE INTRODUCTION Containing the use of this TREATISE AS Diseases and Death are marks of the Divine Justice in the punishment of Sin So the Art of Physick must be acknowledged a derivative from the transcendent Mercy of the Great God whereby the crazie and sickly constitutions of humane Bodies are supported their pains appeased and Health restored These as well as his other Attributes render the Almighty most glorious The Observation deduced from what precedes informs us That those that usurp and exercise the Art of Physick abusively and unworthily do extremely Eclipse Gods glory by so diminishing of his Mercy and of this so weighty a Sin it is to be feared many Empiricks and Little Apothecaries inhabiting the skirts of the City and Country Villages do contract a guilt not only by administring Physick ignorantly and without those qualifications that are absolutely necessary in a Physician but by over-rating the prices of their Medicines to that degree that mean Families by a fit of sicknes or two must unavoidably be ruined in Estate and too oft in their Health I must tell you I have oft seen Bills of Apothecaries risen to twenty sometimes thirty pounds in the time of a Fortnight what is more I have known an Apothecaries Bill so extravagant that the Sum at the bottom of his Account amounted to Fifty Pounds in the space of Thirty Days when the Ingredients of the whole Course could not be computed to stand him in Forty Shillings But that which sounds worse than all this is that not long since an Apothecary of our Suburbs to Nine Patients brought in Bills for less than three quarters of a years Physick amounting to Fifteen Hundred Pounds Though at the same time I must intimate to you that this is not the practice of our London-Apothecaries who not only for discharging their Consciences in the faithful Preparation of their Medicines but also for vending them at reasonable Rates may vie with any others of that Trade in all Europe and therefore you are not to suppose me here embarqued in a designe of discouraging you to make use of these later who are so necessary in the Art of Physick but only of discharging my Duty to such as are exposed to be defrauded by some Little Apothecaries of the Country and skirts of the City not onely through their ill preparation of Medicines but also through their unjust and avaricious Prices So that I do pretend hereby First to instruct you how to prepare the most usual and ordinary Medicines at your own Houses which cannot but be a great satisfaction to you in regard you are certain they are well prepared and that the Ingredients are Sound and Fresh Likewise that you can have your Medicines ready without attending the Apothecaries leasure for him to bring them or without giving your self the trouble to send three or four times to his Shop for them Secondly you may be assured that in so doing you shall save Nine Pounds in Ten or sometimes Forty Eight Pounds in Fifty Thirdly by this means you avoid being defrauded of your Lives and Estates too by Mountebanks and their Medicines which being so indifferently and rashly used by many credulous Persons at all times and seasons without that particular regard had to their Constitution Age Sex Climate and Cause of Disease must necessarily if not kill at least destroy the Temperament of their Bowels and noble Parts Before I proceed any further I am obliged to demonstrate and make it appear in what manner and wherein this Treatise doth discharge what is here promised First then I have pick'd out such Medicines of the London-Dispensatory as are most usual which being reduced to a small number may without any great defray of charges be kept ready at your Houses I have only made choice of three or four fragrant Waters that are to serve for Cordial Juleps which in respect of Temperament may be mixt and qualified for use in hot or cold Distempers What concerns the vast number of other simple distilled Waters I do wittingly reject them as being so little imbued with the vertue of the Simples whence they are distilled that Decoctions or sometimes Infusions or Expressions of Juices made of the same Simples or Spirits distilled from them are experienced to be a million stronger which as your Disease may require are to be prescribed and taught you by your Family-Physician Likewise compound Waters Syrups Electuaries Pills Trochisces or Lozenges Emplasters Unguents and Oyls you have onely so many recommended to you as may serve for most uses the others of the Dispensatory are omitted either because they agree in Vertue with those that are inserted or are not so congruously compounded or are rarely used or are dangerous or useless or if occasion doth require may be prescribed by your Physician Secondly I have taught you here the best manner of distilling Simple and Compound Waters of preparing Syrups Pills Electuaries c. what Ingredients are to be put in first which afterwards how some particular Medicines are to be reduced into Powders and how at last the whole Composition is to be artificially mixt Thirdly I have calculated what each Medicine will stand you in set down exactly the prices of Herbs and other Simples that are to be bought of the Herb-women the prices current of Drugs and Physical Seeds that are to be bought of the Druggists and of Spices and dry Fruits that are vended by the Grocers all which being Alphabetically placed in the latter part of this Treatise you may at any time have recourse unto whereby you likewise avoid being imposed upon by the said Herb-women and Druggists and by the same means you may easily compute what every Composition in the Dispensatory may amount unto giving some small allowance for garbles and waste that may happen by the powdering and sifting the Ingredients or by evaporating over the Fire or sticking to the Pan Pipkin or other Utensil you make use of in preparing some Compositions Fourthly If want of conveniency or any other occasion should perswade you from the preparing of the hereafter-mentioned
