A63873	Apologia chyrurgica A vindication of the noble art of chyrurgery, from the gross abuses offer'd thereunto by mountebanks, quacks, barbers, pretending bone-setters, with other ignorant undertakers. Wherein their fraudulent practices are plainly detected by several remarkable observations, their fair promises prov'd fictions, their administrations pernicious, their confident pretences injurious and destructive to the welfare of the people. By Daniel Turner, practitioner in chyrurgery. Imprimatur. Datum in comitiis censoriis ex ædibus collegii nostri, Jan. 11. 1694. John Lawson, president. Samuel Collins, Richard Torless, Edward Tyson, Martin Lister, censores.	Turner, Daniel, 1667-1741.	1695 (1695)	Wing T3272; ESTC R219447	69,694	162

these_o be_v the_o three_o famous_o qualify_v operator_n who_o have_v concur_v in_o their_o opinion_n that_o the_o bone_n be_v not_o right_o set_v and_o that_o if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v consult_v

there_o have_v need_v nothing_o more_o than_o a_o anodyne_n epulotick_a to_o have_v perfect_v this_o mighty_a cure_n we_o may_v hereby_o inform_v ourselves_o how_o inconsiderable_a a_o distinction_n the_o commonalty_n make_v between_o a_o legal_a artist_n and_o a_o spurious_a or_o false_a pretender_n they_o imagine_v as_o we_o may_v reasonable_o think_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o
