which_o say_v he_o the_o apothecary_n pass_v by_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o one_o beside_o himself_o say_v he_o have_v see_v and_o read_v they_o and_o add_v frank_o they_o seem_v in_o his_o

not_o understand_v how_o that_o reconcilement_n of_o these_o difference_n between_o the_o physician_n and_o the_o apothecary_n which_o so_o much_o concern_v the_o life_n and_o health_n of_o the_o

here_o be_v true_a there_o have_v be_v too_o long_o already_o a_o foul_a and_o shameful_a abuse_n put_v upon_o the_o people_n by_o the_o present_a method_n of_o practise_v physic_n as_o it_o now_o so_o he_o phrased_a it_o jogg_n on_o between_o the_o physician_n and_o apothecary_n and_o that_o since_o those_o able_a and_o well-known_a physician_n have_v so_o free_o and_o honest_o of_o themselves_o propose_v way_n of_o redress_n and_o so_o far_o open_v the_o eye_n of_o all_o man_n to_o discern_v the_o mockery_n they_o have_v be_v gull_v with_o so_o long_o he_o say_v it_o be_v too_o late_o for_o they_o now_o easy_o to_o retreat_v and_o believe_v that_o all_o man_n who_o have_v read_v those_o book_n will_v as_o well_o as_o he_o look_v upon_o such_o a_o composure_n as_o a_o new_a way_n only_o of_o continue_v the_o former_a abuse_n under_o some_o more_o artificial_a and_o secret_a disguise_n but_o whatever_o say_v he_o may_v be_v do_v out_o of_o conscience_n i_o be_o sure_a they_o shall_v destroy_v their_o interest_n by_o it_o and_o as_o long_o as_o ever_o apothecary_n continue_v practise_v as_o they_o do_v so_o long_o shall_v the_o most_o gainful_a and_o secure_a part_n of_o practice_n come_v into_o their_o hand_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o bill_n they_o former_o have_v and_o daily_o will_v receive_v from_o they_o and_o nothing_o remain_v for_o the_o physician_n but_o such_o solicitous_a and_o extreme_a case_n where_o the_o apothecary_n shall_v vouchsafe_v to_o call_v he_o in_o in_o which_o his_o own_o credit_n shall_v every_o moment_n run_v as_o great_a a_o

we_o in_o spite_n of_o common_a course_n they_o now_o take_v to_o hinder_v it_o shall_v to_o save_v charge_n and_o expense_n of_o physic_n always_o esteem_v and_o make_v use_n of_o as_o a_o sort_n of_o cheap_a doctor_n except_o only_o in_o such_o extremity_n where_o our_o life_n be_v in_o manifest_a danger_n and_o i_o have_v often_o wonder_v that_o so_o great_a a_o company_n of_o prudent_a

without_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o doctor_n and_o at_o other_o time_n tell_v my_o wife_n of_o a_o excellent_a course_n against_o the_o scurvy_a order_v by_o a_o eminent_a physician_n and_o name_v
