of_o the_o world_n that_o among_o all_o the_o disease_n within_o the_o sphere_n of_o physic_n and_o chirurgery_n there_o be_v not_o one_o in_o which_o physician_n and_o surgeon_n have_v take_v more_o

not_o think_v that_o i_o intend_v to_o do_v more_o than_o become_v a_o apothecary_n of_o the_o hall_n i_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o communicate_v this_o secret_a to_o some_o discreet_a and_o

and_o the_o exact_a composition_n of_o the_o pill_n and_o diet-drink_a but_o he_o desire_v before_o he_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v further_o convince_v that_o these_o be_v the_o very_a same_o and_o the_o only_a ingredient_n the_o decease_a make_v use_n of_o wherefore_o to_o satisfy_v the_o doctor_n i_o go_v to_o mr._n head_n a_o druggist_n in_o the_o strand_n near_o bull-inn-court_n who_o be_v the_o only_a person_n mr._n beaghan_n buy_v his_o drug_n of_o these_o several_a year_n and_o mr._n head_n will_v justify_v that_o the_o drug_n in_o my_o receipt_n be_v the_o very_a same_o which_o
