Enchiridion Medicum AN ENCHIRIDION Of the Art of PHYSICK Methodically Prescribing Remedies In such an Order That it may be accounted To the Sick-man a SANCTUARY AND To the Studious a LIBRARY CONTAINING A Salubrious Remedy for every Malady incident to the body of Man Very necessary to be known and understood of all that desire their own Health Written in Latine by our learned Country-man JOHN SADLER Dr. in Physick Translated revised corrected and augmented By R. T. London Printed by J. C. for R. Moone at the seven Stars and Henry Fletcher at the three gilt Cups in Pauls Church-yard 1657. To his worthily respected friend Mr. Christoph Woodhouse of BERKHAMSTEED in the County of Hertford Doctor in Physick SIR I Remember amongst the legenda aurea of the antient Philosophers it is recorded of Aristippus Scholar to Socrates that Cum civibus aliquot suis navigans naufragio es ejeotus quum in littore vidisset figur as Mathematicos in littore depictas salva inquit res est Amici hominum vestigia conspicio Et ingressus civitatem proxima investigavit qui nam essent illic disciplinarum studiosis cum his ubi congressus est summa cum humanitate tractaruns non ipsum modo verum etiam comites illius c. When he was at Sea with some of his Country-men they were by Shipwrack cast upon the shore of a strange country Aristippus perceived some Mathematical figures drawn in the sands Be of good comfort friends quoth he for I see the steps of men assuring himself and his company that there he saw the Emblems of Vertue and that the Students therein could not be far distant from whom they might expect courteous entertainment and so they found it Sir I am much encouraged to present this little Piece to you having seen your steps and in this tempestuous age wherein there is a Shipwrack of almost all delightful studies the steps of men of lovers of Minerva appearing about your coasts I say this comfort affords me so much confidence as to presume this Translation will be acceptable to you rejoycing that some plants of Apollo flourish in your pleasant playns so that I desire you amongst the rest to receive this little branch within your walls from whence I doubt not but you will gather profitable fruits which is the Ambition of Yours really to serve you Robert Turner London ult Novemb. 1656. To the Reader CUstome rather then Necessity engages me because I must not be out of the fashion to put a Preface before this book in which I shall be as brief as may be for I brooke not Prolixity nor long-winded Lectures semel dictum sapienti sat est Then Reader let me only tell you if you know not already that this is a Translation of the Praxis Medicorum of Doctor Sadler with the addition of many private Receipts and Experiments of the ablest Physitians now in practice Indeed I was the rather induced to put this into English because it was the language of a City-Doctor that he had rather the book were burnt then I should see it which I hearing of soon procured one of them and now freely communicare in unto all my Country-men hopeing it will sprout like the Camomile the better being trod on and give pleasant and profitable fruit to all that desire it as doth Robert Turner Ult.
