A44061	Vindiciæ medicinæ & medicorum: or An apology for the profession and professors of physick In answer to the several pleas of illegal practitioners; wherein their positions are examined, their cheats discovered, and their danger to the nation asserted. As also an account of the present pest, in answer to a letter. By Nath. Hodges, M.D. Coll. Lond.	Hodges, Nathaniel, 1629-1688.	1666 (1666)	Wing H2308; ESTC R215271	98,257	251

but_o that_o the_o dispensatory_a will_v be_v object_v to_o i_o as_o a_o public_a confutation_n of_o our_o physician_n skill_n in_o chemistry_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o person_n at_o least_o many_o of_o they_o entrust_v by_o the_o supreme_a authority_n to_o compose_v the_o london_n dispensatory_a be_v excellent_a chemist_n i_o can_v instance_n sir_n theodore_n de_fw-fr mayerne_n and_o many_o

however_o i_o must_v inform_v these_o pretender_n to_o chemistry_n that_o no_o public_a dispensatory_a be_v so_o well_o stock_v with_o spagyrical_a preparation_n as_o this_o against_o which_o such_o clamour_n be_v raise_v as_o if_o it_o be_v insufficient_a to_o furnish_v any_o prevalent_a remedy_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o college_n be_v not_o enemy_n to_o the_o spagyrical_a art_n when_o they_o appear_v for_o it_o before_o any_o academy_n or_o society_n of_o physician_n in_o europe_n and_o own_v it_o in_o their_o pharmacopaeia_n as_o far_o then_o as_o safe_o they_o may_v for_o their_o

be_v they_o not_o sufficient_a operator_n to_o prepare_v the_o noble_a and_o most_o difficult_a remedy_n wherefore_o the_o college_n most_o prudent_o attempt_v by_o more_o obvious_a operation_n at_o first_o to_o initiate_v they_o in_o chemistry_n reserve_v to_o themselves_o the_o provision_n of_o what_o other_o medicine_n they_o shall_v need_v in_o their_o practice_n and_o those_o worthy_a collegiate_n be_v so_o forward_o to_o promote_v this_o art_n that_o some_o physician_n have_v rather_o blame_v they_o for_o commit_v such_o remedy_n to_o the_o care_n and_o use_v too_o as_o it_o since_o fall_v out_o of_o every_o apothecary_n the_o mistake_v in_o both_o too_o often_o ruine_v patient_n and_o discredit_v physician_n wherefore_o it_o seem_v more_o adviseable_a that_o they_o who_o use_v spagyrical_a medicine_n will_v not_o confide_v in_o common_a operator_n who_o may_v disappoint_v their_o hope_n and_o expectation_n but_o see_v to_o their_o preparation_n whereby_o they_o may_v satisfy_v themselves_o and_o all_o that_o employ_v they_o and_o when_o physician_n take_v this_o business_n into_o their_o own_o hand_n they_o can_v be_v full_o secure_v that_o their_o remedy_n be_v no_o less_o faithful_o then_o artificial_o prepare_v the_o trust_n and_o confidence_n repose_v in_o physician_n be_v as_o considerable_a as_o life_n call_v upon_o they_o to_o express_v singular_a
