danger_n which_o they_o can_v not_o otherways_o avoid_v but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o case_n of_o any_o that_o be_v sick_a there_o be_v choice_n of_o mean_n so_o that_o for_o a_o man_n advise_o to_o

after_o so_o fair_a a_o warning_n give_v they_o will_v expose_v themselves_o to_o danger_n which_o they_o may_v so_o easy_o avoid_v i_o will_v therefore_o now_o proceed_v in_o compliance_n with_o my_o

of_o diascordium_n mithridate_n treacle_n or_o somewhat_o else_o in_o so_o small_a a_o quantity_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o disorder_v they_o so_o that_o their_o patient_n for_o so_o they_o call_v

enough_o apprehend_v that_o he_o may_v be_v somewhat_o better_a and_o so_o begin_v to_o have_v some_o confidence_n in_o the_o apothecary_n who_o do_v not_o loose_v any_o hold_n he_o have_v get_v for_o soon_o after_o the_o patient_n perhaps_o have_v occasion_n for_o a_o physician_n himself_o or_o some_o of_o his_o family_n be_v ill_o if_o it_o be_v for_o any_o distemper_n they_o be_v former_o

of_o send_v for_o a_o physician_n who_o will_v prescribe_v the_o same_o thing_n he_o order_v former_o which_o prescription_n he_o have_v by_o he_o and_o be_v ready_a to_o make_v up_o for_o they_o

the_o disease_n be_v frequent_a and_o obvious_a as_o the_o measles_n smallpox_n fever_n scurvey_n and_o some_o among_o they_o soar_v so_o high_a as_o the_o venereal_a lues_fw-la for_o they_o have_v

well_o as_o the_o doctor_n they_o therefore_o tell_v they_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a expense_n to_o gratify_v the_o physician_n and_o pay_v the_o apothecary_n bill_n which_o in_o these_o course_n

already_o show_v be_v a_o gross_a mistake_n and_o high_a presumption_n but_o i_o can_v dismiss_v without_o a_o further_o check_v this_o frivolous_a pretence_n of_o the_o apothecary_n that_o because_o he_o have_v most_o of_o those_o medicine_n which_o the_o physician_n otdinary_o employ_v therefore_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v allow_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o physic_n it_o be_v a_o way_n of_o

persuade_v himself_o his_o music_n be_v not_o inferior_a to_o that_o of_o the_o excellent_a artist_n and_o become_v high_o difplease_v with_o the_o company_n because_o they_o do_v not_o bestow_v on_o

their_o mean_a ability_n i_o be_o willing_a to_o admit_v their_o interest_n oblige_v they_o so_o to_o do_v and_o you_o may_v be_v sure_a they_o ply_v they_o with_o store_n of_o physic_n which_o how_o fatal_a it_o prove_v to_o those_o that_o have_v the_o measles_n or_o smallpox_n be_v too_o well_o know_v but_o if_o by_o good_a fortune_n the_o patient_a escape_n than_o they_o sufficient_o
