again_o to_o flanders_n with_o the_o army_n i_o never_o design_n that_o any_o more_o be_v sufficient_o deter_v from_o it_o by_o the_o ill_a treatment_n i_o have_v there_o last_o year_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o some_o of_o my_o old_a friend_n the_o surgeon_n and_o that_o i_o may_v no_o long_o continue_v at_o variance_n with_o so_o great_a a_o body_n of_o man_n i_o have_v sell_v the_o receipt_n of_o my_o vulnerary_a powder_n and_o tincture_n and_o all_o the_o say_a medicine_n i_o have_v by_o i_o to_o a_o gentleman_n who_o be_v better_a able_a to_o dispose_v of_o they_o for_o the_o public_a good_a of_o mankind_n than_o i_o can_v and_o therefore_o shall_v for_o the_o future_a whole_o apply_v myself_o to_o my_o practice_n of_o physic_n in_o which_o if_o i_o have_v success_n which_o i_o doubt_v not_o i_o shall_v have_v business_n maugre_o all_o my_o enemy_n malice_n from_o my_o house_n in_o villars-street_n york-building_n in_o the_o strand_n mar._n 25_o the_o 1696._o some_o further_a consideration_n concern_v alkaly_n and_o acid_n etc._n etc._n i_o think_v to_o have_v say_v no_o more_o upon_o this_o subject_a until_o the_o publication_n of_o my_o history_n of_o human_a blood_n but_o i_o find_v that_o to_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o great_a difficulty_n and_o that_o a_o much_o great_a number_n of_o experiment_n than_o i_o at_o first_o think_v of_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o make_v that_o history_n complete_a in_o all_o its_o part_n by_o which_o mean_v it_o will_v be_v something_o long_o than_o i_o at_o first_o intend_v before_o that_o piece_n appear_v in_o the_o world_n therefore_o i_o have_v think_v fit_a first_o to_o explain_v the_o term_n or_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o alkaly_n and_o what_o by_o acid_n which_o i_o find_v very_o many_o people_n who_o be_v not_o physician_n be_v in_o great_a measure_n ignorant_a of_o second_o to_o explain_v the_o nature_n of_o they_o somewhat_o more_o full_o and_o clear_o than_o i_o have_v yet_o do_v three_o and_o last_o to_o answer_v the_o objection_n that_o have_v be_v raise_v against_o some_o particular_a thing_n contain_v in_o my_o essay_n all_o which_o head_n i_o shall_v handle_v with_o as_o much_o brevity_n and_o perspicuity_n as_o possible_o i_o can_v omit_v the_o more_o full_a prosecution_n of_o they_o till_o the_o publication_n of_o my_o history_n of_o human_a blood_n which_o i_o hope_v will_v be_v ready_a for_o the_o press_n about_o the_o month_n of_o june_n i_o shall_v make_v bold_a to_o declare_v that_o i_o have_v not_o publish_v this_o doctrine_n of_o alkaly_n and_o acid_n out_o of_o any_o design_n of_o appear_v singular_a or_o be_v the_o head_n of_o a_o faction_n but_o out_o of_o mere_a pity_n and_o compassion_n to_o mankind_n my_o fellow-creature_n who_o deplorable_a circumstance_n under_o mistake_v method_n i_o have_v long_o bewail_v to_o see_v physic_n make_v the_o scene_n of_o slaughter_n and_o so_o many_o miserable_a mortal_n the_o helpless_a sick_a send_v daily_o to_o their_o last_o home_n as_o victim_n to_o error_n and_o ignorance_n whilst_o the_o learned_a prescriber_n jog_v on_o in_o his_o old_a mistake_a alkalious_a road_n not_o dream_v as_o the_o wiseman_n say_v that_o death_n be_v there_o and_o that_o his_o portion_n i_o mean_v the_o patient_n be_v with_o the_o worm_n but_o that_o i_o may_v return_v to_o my_o business_n first_o to_o explain_v the_o term_n or_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o alkaly_n and_o what_o by_o acid._n alkaly_n derive_v its_o name_n from_o the_o herb_n kaly_n from_o the_o ash_n of_o which_o herb_n be_v extract_v a_o large_a quantity_n of_o salt_n which_o by_o the_o venetian_n and_o other_o be_v much_o use_v in_o the_o make_n of_o soap_n and_o glass_n and_o this_o salt_n they_o call_v sal_fw-la kaly_n and_o by_o leave_v out_o the_o s_o alkaly_n now_o the_o ash_n of_o all_o or_o most_o vegetable_n afford_v a_o salt_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o the_o ash_n of_o the_o herb_n kaly_n therefore_o all_o lixivial_a salt_n be_v equivocal_o call_v alkaly_n and_o all_o other_o thing_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n whether_o manifest_o saline_n or_o not_o alkaly_n such_o be_v arsenic_n and_o all_o the_o testacea_fw-la as_o pearl_n coral_n crabs-eye_n oyster-shell_n &c._n &c._n and_o all_o urinous_a spirit_n and_o salt_n such_o as_o spirit_n and_o salt_n of_o blood_n urine_n hartshorn_n etc._n etc._n and_o some_o think_v that_o of_o these_o alkaly_n be_v make_v the_o famous_a white_a powder_n so_o much_o talk_v of_o which_o kill_v without_o a_o bounce_n and_o murder_n without_o make_v a_o noise_n acid_n i_o suppose_v do_v first_o derive_v its_o name_n from_o acaid_n a_o arabian_a word_n for_o acetum_fw-la vinegar_n which_o be_v the_o most_o common_a and_o know_a acid_n and_o therefore_o all_o thing_n of_o the_o same_o taste_n and_o nature_n with_o vinegar_n acid_n such_o be_v the_o juice_n of_o most_o fruit_n and_o plant_n in_o their_o natural_a state_n and_o unferment_v though_o all_o ferment_v vegetable_a juice_n do_v after_o fermentation_n retain_v something_o of_o their_o pristine_a acidity_n though_o not_o in_o so_o eminent_a a_o degree_n but_o every_o body_n know_v that_o all_o fermented_a juice_n such_o as_o all_o sort_n of_o wine_n ale_z beer_n etc._n etc._n let_v they_o be_v preserve_v with_o never_o so_o much_o care_n will_v at_o last_o return_n to_o their_o pristine_a state_n of_o acidity_n all_o metaline_n sulphur_n eat_v to_o be_v range_v among_o the_o number_n of_o acid_n they_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o congestion_n of_o acid_n particle_n i_o may_v likewise_o without_o presumption_n reckon_v all_o sort_n of_o balsam_n and_o pinquedinous_a and_o oleaginous_a substance_n among_o the_o number_n of_o acid_n by_o reason_n that_o in_o the_o most_o bare_a and_o simple_a distillation_n they_o afford_v large_a quantity_n of_o acid_n substance_n but_o nothing_o that_o be_v alkalious_a bread_n also_o that_o be_v not_o without_o reason_n account_v the_o staff_n of_o life_n afford_v also_o by_o distillation_n a_o large_a quantity_n of_o a_o acid_n substance_n which_o be_v no_o despicable_a menstruum_fw-la sugar_n which_o though_o in_o its_o taste_n seem_v to_o be_v nothing_o less_o than_o a_o acid_n yet_o by_o a_o philosophical_a management_n appear_v to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o congestion_n of_o acid_n particle_n thus_o for_o the_o present_a i_o think_v i_o have_v give_v a_o sufficient_a account_n of_o what_o i_o mean_v by_o alkaly_n and_o what_o by_o acid_n and_o also_o what_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v account_v alkaly_n and_o what_o acid_v there_o be_v some_o thing_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v of_o a_o mix_a nature_n between_o alkaly_n and_o acid_n which_o thing_n we_o call_v neutral_n now_o those_o thing_n of_o this_o tribe_n which_o afford_v by_o much_o a_o great_a quantity_n of_o acid_n substance_n than_o alkalious_a one_o i_o stick_v not_o to_o call_v acid_n because_o the_o acid_n predominate_v and_o those_o that_o afford_v by_o much_o a_o great_a quantity_n of_o alkalious_a than_o acid_n substance_n i_o call_v alkaly_n though_o in_o a_o more_o strict_a sense_n they_o deserve_v rather_o to_o be_v call_v either_o sub-acid_n alkaly_n or_o subalkaline_a acid_n according_a as_o either_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o predominate_v i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o my_o second_o thing_n which_o be_v to_o explain_v the_o nature_n of_o alkaly_n and_o acid_n more_o full_o and_o clear_o than_o i_o have_v yet_o do_v for_o the_o well_o performance_n of_o which_o task_n i_o shall_v compare_v the_o operation_n of_o they_o both_o upon_o human_a body_n both_o internal_o take_v and_o external_o apply_v i_o shall_v begin_v with_o sal_fw-la kaly_n which_o be_v the_o standard_n of_o alkaly_n and_o compare_v that_o with_o vinegar_n the_o standard_n of_o acid_n sal_fw-la kaly_n and_o so_o all_o lixivious_a vegetable_a salt_n as_o salt_n of_o wormwood_n etc._n etc._n be_v apply_v outward_o to_o the_o bare_a skin_n
