Set forth for the Publick Benefit By William Sermon Doctor in Physick One of His Majesties Physicians in Ordinary LONDON Printed by W. Downing for Edward Thomas at the Adam and Eve in Little Britain 1673. To His Illustrious Grace Christopher Duke of Albemarle Earl of Torrington Baron Monk de Potheridge Beauchamp and Teyes c. My Lord AS Your Grace is both a Popular and Publick Peer I have humbly made bold to offer this Publick Treatise at the Altar of Your Illustrious Name And if my Lord the Offering be too mean for so magnificent an Altar Let it be Burnt and the Flame thereof may give me light to see my present Presumption My Lord Other Apollogy or Plea I have none besides that never-dying Obligation I owe your most Renowned Father of Blessed Memory whose Diffusive Goodness hath not only made Me but indeed three Kingdoms to be his Debtor Since then My Lord Bonds which are so justly due must in all Equity be discharged and the sublimity of his present Station cannot Permit me to Cancel them to Himself Yet Give me Leave then to Confess them to His Magnanimous Son your Thrice Noble Self the Inheritour of his Heroick Spirit as you are of his Paternal Possessions To the Plenitude and full Fruition of both which that your Grace may Gradually Arrive and with your Years increase your Heirs and Honours is the most Cordial Prayer of Sir Your Graces most Humble and most Faithfully Obedient and Devoted Servant William Sermon THE EPISTLE TO THE READER Worthy Reader IT may perhaps be thought an high Presumption especially by such that judge nothing well done but what they have the honour to do themselves for me that may be accounted the least of all men able to put my self to such a publick Censure of those most Learned and great Proficients in this Honourable and most Noble Art However because I would not hide my Talent that the Lord hath given to me and so be termed an unprofitable Servant having through the wonderful goodness of God found out those and such like Remedies and that by a diligent Care and long Study have had thereof large Experience which is the Daughter of Time the Mother of Wisdom the true Rewarder of Travel though the Jewel of a few and not doubting but that they will prove very profitable not only to the Diseased Patient but to the young Student in Physick for whose sakes I could by no means neglect the Publication hereof Another and the most principal Obligation was from a serious Consideration of the Great Necessity and Lamentable Misery that I daily behold some of the meaner sort of people being intollerably tormented with most dangerous and grievous distempers and must absolutely perish having not wherewithall to be at great Charges in long and tedious courses of Physick Neither to give to old Dives his large fee before-hand without which he will not put his foot into the Styrup nor his horses in the Coach These Reasons seriously considered were the absolute Motives to force me more to the publishing of this small and I hope beneficial Treatise And that the Honest English Man may reap thereby the greater Benefit I have purposely omitted all Philosophical Eloquent and hard crabbed words though not Ignorant thereof which more affright the honest and harmless Patient then Cure his languishing Disease Yet notwithstanding the real and best of my Endeavours to promote the Interest of my Countrymen and to do them service in giving them some certain Rules how to help themselves in times of Necessity Black mouth'd Envy that severely Barkes though cannot Bite will still Snarle and look upon me with a squint Eye as if I had done some Injustice to the very Laws of Friendship and common Society And the grand Reasons are that my Pills in the Dropsie have wrought more wonderful effects then any other Medicines yet have done Since which time to defraud the Ignorant every fracturated fellow in their Pamplets pretend to Cure the Dropsie though it be but with Aloes and Sena c. infused in Brandy and the Lungs of an Oxe applied to the Belly which preposterous Courses have of late killed many some of good worth But perhaps some of the fore-mentioned will be apt to Judge that I have published this Treatise purposely to promote my own Interest because I have in some Chapters made mention of my Cathartique and Diuretique Pills in answer to which I will assure the Reader I have not made mention thereof but where they are absolutely necessary and I question not but those that are acquainted with me and them will believe that what I have here imparted is to the utmost of my power really to promote the well-fare of my Country and not my own Interest Which in Duty to God and Man I am bound to do this being first intended not for private use but for a publick good So not valuing the Threats of some of the same faculty knowing the snares they have laid for others themselves will be taken in When I shall be from their rigid Malice shelter'd under the Wings of the Almighty and there live above the Praise or Dispraise of Men. But yet must humbly acknowledge my self Dear Countrey-men Your most humble and faithful Servant to Command W.
