Simples and Compositions at your own house you have the prices of both declared at which you may buy them from the Apotheearies ready prepared to keep a proportion by you to be mixt and made use of according as your Physician shall judge fit Fifthly If you desire to avoid that trouble also and do prefer sending your Physicians Bill to an Apothecary you may hence easily compute what the Medicine is to be valued at and what the Apothecary deserveth for his pains for mixing and bringing it to your House Lastly Since every small disorder of Body puts many into the humour of sending for an Apothecary who to mimick the Physician shall ask you when you was at Stool or whether you are not oppressed or stuffed at your Stomach feels your Pulse and then shall tell you that you are weak and if he findes you hot he forceth you to believe you have got a Surfeit or if he perceiveth your hand to be cold he perswades you that you have taken cold This is the substance of his Theory on which he practices so boldly But if you are curious to be throughly acquainted with the whole Body of Physick by which the Countrey Apothecary practiseth you may soon gratifie your self in that by purchasing a Treatise called The Accomplisht Physician the Honest Apothecary and the Skilful Surgeon sold at the Angel in Duck-lane which having perused from page 4 to 14 and from page 64 to 73 will abundantly satisfie you for your disbursement If then you are found to be costive he sends you a Clyster at 2 s. 6 d. price which on the same occasion you may advise your self and be instructed by this Treatise how to make one for three half pence or two pence If he apprehends your stomach to be oppressed he orders his man to boyl a little Carduus in Water strain it and put to it three or four spoonfuls of rank Oyl of sweet Almonds to cause you to vomit and carry off a little flegm for which an half Crown is an usual rate Now instead of this you may at a much cheaper price make your self a Pint or two of Carduus-Posset and drink it off luke-warm to cause the same effect For your weakness he will advise you a Cordial made out of two or three musty simple Waters Confectio Alkermes and a little Syrup of Gilly-flowers for which he expects to be paid three Shillings and six Pence and by the way compute what two or three Cordials a day may amount unto in three or four weeks time What he reckons at three shillings six pence you are taught below how to prepare a Cordial Julep for much less In case of a Surfeit three or four pints of cooling Juleps shall be sent you every day at two shillings six pence or three shillings the Pint which you shall be informed how to prepare at two pence or three pence the quart If he infers from the pain of your Head and Limbs Cough Stuffing in your Head c. that you have taken Cold some Sweating Bolus or Potion whereof Mithridate or Treacle shall be the chief Ingredient besides Syrups he conceives to be good Remedies that may conduce to your health and his profit wherein also the Directions of this Tract will render you a considerable saver This is the furthest point the Practicing Apothecary can safely steer or which you are capable to apprehend wherefore you are not to expect from me instructions for using the great Remedies viz. Bleeding and Purging the good management of which and other Remedies doth entirely depend upon the Methodus Medendi or Method of Curing which two words do summarily express the whole Art of Physick and its greatest Secret for to arrive to the said Method of Curing or applying of Remedies in manner order and time it 's requisite a man should understand the Nature of Diseases their Causes and the Parts diseased unto which the said Remedies are to be applyed all which cannot be understood unless you have acquired a competent knowledge of the natural Constitution of the Parts of the Body of Man their Structure Position Relation and Connexion to each other and their several Offices and Uses This Knowledge or Science is chiefly gained by frequent Anatomy or Dissection of dead Bodies and most certainly is the Basis and Ground-work of the Art of Physick and the complete finishing of that is the Methodus Medendi For all Factive and Mechanick Arts consist in these three particulars 1. In the knowledge of their Subject which in our Art is the body of Man in its natural and preternatural constitution 2. In the Instruments or Means whereby to operate which in the said Art are such whereby to preserve the Body in its natural constitution or health and whereby to correct and remove its preternatural or diseased Constitution which are Dyet and Remedies 3. In the Method or Directory of Rules how to use the said Instruments which in Physick is called Methodus Medendi or the Method of applying the said Means The First and Third Particular I have already spoken to The Second is the Means wherein it is as necessary for a Physician to be not only knowing but also experienced as in either of the other For what success can be expected from the Method of applying Remedies unless those Remedies are such as obtain a Specifick and peculiar property of correcting or removing the Cause of each Disease A Physician is as little capable to cure great Diseases with ordinary Medicines which notwithstanding some of the ignorant for want of due Education pretend to do as a Graver is able to cut curious Figures in Steel with the ordinary Tools of a Carver or Stone-cutter or a Barber to take off the hair of your Beard with a Chopping-knife As for those ordinary Medicines they are set down in several Dispensatories among which that of the Physicians of London considering the time it was composed by far exceeds all the others These ordinary Medicines it 's confessed being methodically applied may by long continuation remove some slight Distempers and some great Diseases also if timely used but if confirmed and inveterated are too oft found absolutely fruitless For what proper Remedy do those Dispensatories contain to cure a Pulmonick ulcerous Consumption an inveterate Scurvey Dropsie Stone Gout Fever Kings-Evil Leprosie c. To this a Vulgar Hackney-Physician shall possibly answer That there is no Disease be it never so great or dangerous but he will undertake which is well put in to cure by Method and that with ordinary Medicines For Example a Consumption occasioned by an Ulcer in the Lungs he pretends to cure by prescribing 1. Medicines that shall discharge or cleanse the Ulcer by expelling the matter by Expectoration that is by coughing and spitting and this is performed by Ground-Ivy Speedwel Hyssop and many other Vulneraries made into a Syrup Lohoch or Decoction 2. By consolidating Medicines that shall close up and skin it with a Callus

prepared thus Being powder'd make it red-hot in a Crucible and pour to it of well-dulcified Oyl of Mars the same quantity let them continue over the fire until they be dry 3. The Oyl of Mars is prepared thus Take of Allom one pound of common Salt four ounces distil an Aqua fortis from them in a reverberatory Furnace with this water imbibe the Filings of Steel several times a day and a rust will stick which must be washt off clean let the water evaporate from it to an oyliness which must be dulcified by evaporating common water from it once or twice The manner of preparing Lapis Calaminaris Powder it very small and heat it red-hot in a Crucible and quench it by pouring Vinegar a-top it this repeat thrice The Tuthia is prepared in the same manner excepting that instead of Vinegar it must be quenched with Fenil or Celandine-water The Preparation of Crocus Veneris Take Copper beaten into very thin Plates put them into a Crucible in Layes which is termed among Chymists Stratum supra stratum one over the other strewing some common Salt between every Lay then cause them to be nealed together which done cast the Plates and Salt into cold water and wash them clean from their blackness then put them again in Lays with Salt as before neal them and then cast them into cold water This nealing and washing repeat three or four times or oftner The water wherein the Plates were washed being setled decant or pour off from the setlings on the bottom which must be sweetned by oft pouring warm water on them and letting them settle and then pouring it off again repeat the washing so oft until the aforesaid settlings taste free of the Salt Crocus Martis prepare thus Put Filings of Steel into a Crucible which set in a reveberatory-Furnace for four and twenty hours then cast the red-hot Steel into a large earthen Pan that 's full of water stir it well together and pour it off into another earthen Pan then evaporate the water and on the bottom you will finde the Crocus Martis The Preparation of the Earth of Vitriol Calcine Vitriol in an earthen Pot to a red colour powder it and pour water on it which let stand four and twenty hours to settle then pour off the water This repeat so often until it 's sweetned and all the sharpness is taken off These Emplasters are sufficient for all intentions however those that desire to make use of some other common Emplasters they may buy them from the Druggists that keep Journey-men Apothecaries for the same purpose at as cheap a rate as they can prepare them themselves which is far cheaper than you buy them from the Apothecaries who oft by keeping them too long in their Shops or not preparing them exactly sell Emplasters far worse and of much less vertue than those that are sold by the Druggists who commonly take great care that their Medicaments shall be well and exactly prepared THe Rates of Emplasters at the Druggists you may see at the end of the ensuing Table of Rates and Prices of Druggs The Rates and Prices current of Drugs and other Commodities belonging to Physick as they are commonly sold at by the Druggists in London Radices or Roots A Corus the pound 2 Shillings Angelica the pound 6 d.
