A33709	A physico medical essay concerning alkaly and acid so far as they have relation to the cause or cure of distempers : wherein is endeavoured to be proved that acids are not (as is generally and erroneously supposed) the cause of all or most distempers, but that alkalies are : together with an account of some distempers and the medicines with their preparations proper to be used in the cure of them : as also a short digression concerning specifick remedies / by John Colbatch.	Colbatch, John, Sir, 1670-1729.	1696 (1696)	Wing C5003; ESTC R26032	33,359	174

say_v before_o nature_n have_v provide_v to_o our_o hand_n orange_n lemon_n citron_n limb_n and_o a_o great_a many_o more_o not_o necessary_a here_o to_o mention_v which_o for_o the_o most_o part_n

such_o scurrilous_a answer_n as_o i_o have_v be_v use_v to_o nothing_o of_o that_o nature_n be_v in_o the_o least_o valid_a with_o i_o that_o be_v not_o confirm_v by_o well-attested_n experiment_n the_o conclusion_n it_o be_v i_o suppose_v allow_v by_o every_o body_n that_o sea-salt_n be_v a_o acid_n and_o for_o that_o very_a reason_n only_o it_o be_v that_o we_o who_o eat_v such_o large_a
