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

under_o that_o distemper_n complain_v of_o my_o friend_n have_v a_o little_a patience_n and_o i_o will_v present_o make_v it_o appear_v to_o you_o that_o those_o symptom_n be_v not_o occasion_v by_o acid_n but_o from_o acrid_a lixivious_a alkalious_a particle_n which_o i_o doubt_v not_o to_o evince_v by_o plain_a matter_n of_o fact_n first_o of_o all_o by_o a_o chemical_a analysis_n it_o do_v appear_v that_o the_o blood_n of_o scorbutic_a person_n have_v by_o much_o a_o great_a quantity_n of_o volatile_a alkalious_a particle_n then_o that_o of_o sound_a person_n beside_o which_o some_o quantity_n more_o or_o less_o of_o a_o lixivious_a fix_v alkaly_n which_o for_o as_o much_o as_o ever_o i_o can_v find_v the_o blood_n of_o sound_a person_n be_v altogether_o destitute_a of_o and_o by_o the_o way_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o add_v this_o it_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o if_o physician_n will_v give_v themselves_o the_o trouble_n of_o chemical_o analyze_a the_o blood_n of_o person_n in_o all_o distemper_n and_o make_v nice_a observation_n of_o the_o different_a substance_n to_o be_v obtain_v from_o it_o by_o that_o mean_v the_o cause_n of_o distemper_n will_v be_v certain_o know_v and_o by_o consequence_n the_o cure_n of_o they_o much_o more_o certain_a then_o now_o it_o be_v but_o that_o i_o may_v return_v to_o my_o business_n another_o considerable_a argument_n beside_o that_o beforementioned_a to_o prove_v that_o the_o scurvy_a have_v its_o rise_n from_o alkalious_a substance_n in_o the_o blood_n and_o not_o from_o acid_n be_v this_o which_o follow_v i_o

though_o i_o must_v confess_v the_o gout_n to_o be_v a_o distemper_n i_o have_v not_o have_v much_o to_o do_v with_o but_o by_o that_o little_a i_o have_v see_v of_o it_o i_o be_o full_o convince_v that_o it_o be_v not_o from_o acid_n as_o be_v general_o say_v that_o that_o troublesome_a distemper_n be_v occasion_v i_o have_v observe_v considerable_a large_a nodes_fw-la in_o which_o be_v

to_o what_o general_o do_v and_o where_o life_n lie_v at_o stake_n people_n can_v be_v too_o cautious_a but_o if_o the_o good_a old_a woman_n and_o nurse_n in_o spite_n of_o all_o that_o can_v be_v
