Continually fpring,  even without the Aid of ex-
ternal Violence.   And how  is the Number of
thefe increaied, by every Thing round about us ?
The Heavens, the Earth,  and all Things con-
tained therein, confpire to punifh the  Rebels a-
gainft their Creator.   The Sun and Moon fhed
unwholfome Influences from above ;   the Earth
exhales  poifonous Damps  from beneath:  The
Beafls or  the Field,  the Birds of the Air, the  ^
Fifhes of the Sea,  are in a State  of Hoftility :
The Air itlelf, that furrounds us on every Side,
is  replete  with the  Shafts of Death :  Yea, the
Food we eat, daily faps the  Foundation of the
Life,  which cannot  be fuftained without it.  So
has the  Lord of All  fecured the  Execution of
his Decree,  " Dujl thou art,  and unto Dujl Jhalt
*'  thou return."
   3. But can there Nothing be found to  leflen
thofe  Inconveniencies, which cannot be wholly
removed ?  To foften the Evils of Life, and pre-
vent in Part the Sicknefs and Pain to which we
are continually expofed ? "Without Queftion there
may.   One grand Preventive of Pain and  Sick-
nefs of various Kinds,  feems intimated by the
great Author of Nature,  in  the very Sentence
that intails Death upon us :  " In the Sweat of thy
Face Jhalt  thou eat Bread, *til thou return to the
Ground." The Power of Exercife, both to preferve
and  reftore Health,  is greater than can well be
conceived :  Efpecially in thofe who add Tempe-  1
ranee thereto; who, if they do not confine them-  '
fclves altogether to eat either *' Bread, or the* j
                                    "Herb J 
[  v  ]
<e Herb of the Field," (which God does not re-
quire them to do)  yet fteadily obferve both that
Kind and  Meafure of  Food, which Experience
mews to be moll friendly to Health and StrerigthN.
  4. 'Tis probable Physick, as well as Religi-
on, was in the firft Ages chieflytraditional: Every
Father delivering down to his Sons,  what he had
himfelf in like Manner received, concerning the
Manner of healing both outward Hurts, and the
Difeafes incident to each Climate, and  the  Me-
dicines which were of the greateft Efficacy for the
Cure of each Diforder.  'Tis certain,  trnVis the
Method wherein the Art of Healing is preferved
among the Americans, to this Day.   Their Dif-
eafes, indeed, are exceeding few •,  nor do they
often occur,  by Reafon of their continual Exer-
cife,  and ('til of late, univerfal)  Temperance.
But if any is fick, or bit by a Serpent, or torn by
a wild Beaft, the Fathers  immediately tell their
Children what Remedy to apply.   And 'tis rare,
that the Patient luffers long ; thofe Medicines be-
ing quick, as well as generally infallible.
   5. Hence perhaps it was  that the Antients,
not only of Greece and Rome,  but even of barba-
rous Nations, ufually aiTign'd Phyfick a Divine
Original.  And indeed it was a natural Thought,
That He who had taught it  to the very.Beafta
and Birds, the Cretan Stag, the  Egyptian Ibis,
could not be wanting to teach Man ;
   San5lius his Animal,  mentifque capacius alt a:

Yea, fometimes, even by thofe  meaner  Crea-
                                     tures i 
rvT-r
tures:  For it was eafy to infer,  " If this will
heal that Creature, whole Flefh is nearly of the
fame Texture with mine, then in a parallel Cafe
it will heal  me."   The Trial was made.   The
Cure was wrought.  And Experience and Phy-
fick grew up together.
  6. And has not the Author of Nature taught
us the Ufe  of many other Medicines, but what
is vulgarly  term'd Accident ? Thus one walking
fome Years fince in a Grove of Pines, at a Time
when many in the neighbouring Town were af-
flicted  with a Kind  of new  Diftemper,  little-
Sores in the Infide of the Mouth, a Drop of na-
tural Gum  fell from one  of the  Trees on the
Book which he was reading.   This  he took up,
and thoughtlefly applied to one of thofe fore Pla-
ces.  Finding the Pain immediately ceafe, he
applied it to another,  which was  alfo prefently
healed.   The fame Remedy he afterwards im-
parted to others,  and it did not fail  to heal any
that applied it.   And doubtlefs numberlefs Re-
medies have been thus cafually difcovered in eve-
ry Age and Nation.
  7. Thus far Phyfick was wholly founded on
Experiment. The European, as well as the Ame-
rican, faid  to his Neighbour, Are you  fick ?
Drink the Juice of this Herb,  and your Sicknefs
will be at an End.  Are you in a burning Heat?
Leap into that River,  and then fweat 'til you are
Well.   Has the Snake bitten you ?   Chew, and
apply that  Root, and  the Poifon will not hurt
you.  Thus antient Men, having a little Expe-'
                                    riencc, 
[ vii  J
rlence, joined with*common Senfe, and common
Humanity,   cured  both themfelves  and their
Neighbours, of moft of the Diftempers to which
every Nation was fubjec~t.
   8. But in Procefs of Time, Men of a philo-
fophical Turn were not fatisfied with this. They
began to enquire, How they might account for
thefe Things ?  How  fuch Medicines wrought
fuch Effects ? They examined the human Body,
and all its Parts •, the Nature of the Flefh, Veins,
Arteries, Nerves;  the Structure  of  the Brain,
Heart,  Lungs,  Stomach,  Bowels;  with  the
Springs of the feveral Animal Functions.  They
explored the feveral Kinds of Animal and Mine-
ral, as well  as Vegetable Subftances.  And hence
the whole Order of Phyfick which had obtained
to that Time,  came gradually to be inverted.
Men of Learning began to fet Experience afide ;
to  build  Phyfick  upon Hypothefis •, to form
Theories of Difeafes and their Cure, and to fub-
ftitute thefe in the Place of Experiments.
   9. As Theories  increafed, fimple  Medicines
were more  and more  difregarded and difufed :
'til, in  a  Courfe  of Years, the greater  Part of
them were forgotten, at leaft in the politer Na-
tions.   In the Room of thefe, Abundanceof new
Ones were introduced,  by reafoning,  fpeculative
Men ;  and thofe more and more difficult to  be
applied, as  being more remote from common
Observation. Hence Rules for the Application of
thefe, and Medical  Books, were immenfely mul-
tiplied ; 'til at length Phyfick became an abffoufe
Science, quite out of the. Reach of ordinary Men. 
L viii J
      io.  Phyficians now began to be had in Admi-
   ration, as Perfons who were fomething more
   than human.   And Profit  attended their Em-
   ploy, as well as.Honour ;  fo that they had now
  * two weighty  Reafons for keeping  the  Bulk of
   Mankind at aDiltance,  that they might not  pry
   into the Myfleries of the ProfefTion.  To this End
   tthey increaled thofe Difficulties by Defign, which
   began in a Manner by Accident.   They filled
   their Writings with  Abundance of Technical
   Terms,  utterly  unintelligible  to  plain  Men.
   They affected to deliver their Rules, and to rea-
   fon upon them, in an abftrufe and philofophical
   Manner.   They reprefented the critical Know-
   ledge of Anatomy, Natural Philofophy, (and
   what not ? Some of them infilling on that of A-
   flronomy and Allrology tooj  as neceffarily pre-
   vious to the underltanding the Art of Healing.
   Thofe who underflood only,  How to reflore the
   Sick to Health, they branded with the Name of
   Empiricks.   They introduced into Practice,  A-
   bundance of compound  Medicines, conlifting of
   io many Ingredients, that it was icarce poflible
I   for common People to  know which it was that
   wrought a Cure :  Abundance of Exoticks, nei-
   ther the Nature  nor Names of which their own
   Countrymen underflood :  OfChymicals, luch
   as they neither had Skill, nor Fortune, nor Time,
   to prepare :  Yea, and of dangerous Ones, fiich
   as they could not ufe without hazarding Life,
   but by the Advice of a Phyfician. And thus both
>   their Honour and Gain were fecured •, a vail
                                     Majority

Majority of Mankind being utterly cut off from
helping either themfelves or their Neighbours,
or once daring to attempt it.
   11.  Yet there have not been  wanting from
Time to Time, fome Lovers of Mankind,  who
have endeavoured (even contrary  to  their own
Interefl) to reduce Phyfick to its antient Stand-
dard :  Who have laboured to explode out of it
all Hypothefes,  and  fine-fpun Theories,  and to
make it a plain intelligible Thing, as  it  was in
the Beginning; having no more My fiery in it
than this,   *' Such a Medicine removes fuch a
Pain."  Thefe have dernonflrably fhewn, That
neither the Knowledge of Aflrology, Aflronomy*
Natural Philofophy,   nor  even Anatomy itfelf,
is abfolutely neceflfary to the  quick and effectual
Cure of mofl Difeafes incident to human Bodies:
Nor yet any Chymical, or Exotick, or Compound
Medicine,  but a fingle Plant or Fruit duly appli-
ed. So that every Man of common Senfe  (unlefs
in fome rare Cafes) may prefcribe either to him-
felf or his Neighbour; and may be very fecure
from doing  Harm,   even where he  can do no
Good.
   12.  Even to the lad Age there was  fomething
of this Kind done, particularly by4lie great and
good Dr. Sydenham :  And in  the prefent,  by his
Pupil Dr. Dover, who has  pointed out  fimple
Medicines  for many  Difeafes.  And  fome fuch,
may be found in the Writings of the learned and
ingenious Dr. Cbeyne: Who doubtlefs  would
Jiave communicated many more to the World,
                    B                  but 
i                     [x  ]
i  . but  for the melancholy Heafon he gave one of
   his Friends, that ~prefl him with lome Paffages
I   in his Works, which too much countenanced the
  t modern Practice,   "  O Sir, We mult do fome-
   thingto oblige the Faculty,  or they will  tear us
r   in Pieces."
1      13. Without any Regard to this, without any
   Concern about the obliging or difobliging any
   Man living, a mean Hand  has made here fome
   little Attempt toward a plain and eafy Way  of
   curing mod Difeafes.  I have only confulted
   herein, Experience,   common Senfe, and  the
,   common Interefl of Mankind.  And fuppofing
'   they can be cured this eafy Way, who would de-
   fire  to ufe any other ?  Who would not wifh  to
   have a Phyfician always in  his Houfe, and one
   that attends without Fee or Reward ? To  be able
   (\.:t*!efs in fome few complicated Cafes) to  pre-
   fer! he to his Family,  as well as himfelf ?
      j 4. If itbefaid, But what  Need is there  of
   fuch an Attempt ?  I anfwer,   The greatefl that
   can  pofhbly be conceived.   Is it not needful in
   .the  h'gheft Degree,  to refcue Men from  the
   Jaws of Deflruction ?  From  wailing their For-
   tunes,  as  'Etaufands have done, and continue
   to do daily r%? rom pining away in Sicknefs and
   Pain,  either through the Ignorance or Knavery
1   of Phyficians ? Yea,  and many Times throwing
   away their Lives,  after their Health, and Time,
   and  Subflance ?
      is it enquired,  But are there not Books enough
 ♦ already, on every Part of the  Art of Medicine ?
                                         Yes, 
                  I  »  J

 Yes, too many, ten Times over, confidering how
 little to the Purpofe the far greater Part of them
 fpeak.  But  befide this, they are  too dear fos
 poor Men to buy, and too hard for plain Men
 to underftand.  Do you fay, But  there are e-
 nough of thefe Collections of Receipts*. Where ?
 I have not feen One yet, either in our own or a?
 ny other Tongue, which contains only fafe and
 cheap and eafy Medicines.  In all that have yet
 fallen into my Hands, I find many dear and ma-
 ny far-fetch'd  Medicines; many of of fo dange-    j
 rous a Kind,  as  a prudent Man would never
 meddle with.  And againft the greater Part of
 thofe Medicines there is a further Objection t  ..
 They confifl of too many Ingredients.  The com-
 mon Method of  compounding and decompoun-
 ding Medicines, can never be reconciled to com-
 mon Senfe.  Experience fhews, That one Thing   ¥
 will  cure moft Diforders, at lean: as well as twen-
 ty put together. Then why do you add the other
 nineteen ? Only to fwell  the Apothecary's Bill i
 Nay, pofiible, on purpole to prolong the Dif-
 temper,  that the Doctor  and he may divide the
 Spoil                                 e      *   J
  But admitting there is fome Quality in the   \
 Medicine  propofed, which has Need  to be cor-   j
 retted : Will not one Thing correct it, as well as   1
twenty?  It is probable,  much better.  And if   (
 not,  there is  Sufficiency  of  other. Medicines,.
 which need no fuch Correction.
  How often, by thus- compounding Medicines
 gf oppoflte Qualities, is the Virtue of both utter-_ ! 
t  xii   3
ly deftroyed ? Nay, how often do thofe joined to-
gether deftroy Life,  which  fingle might have
preierved it ? This occafioned that Caution of the
great Boerhaave, againft mixing Things without
evident Neccfiity,  and without full Proof of  the
Effect they will produce when joined together, as
Well as of that they produced when afunder: See-
ing (as he obferves) feveral Things,  which fepa-
rately taken,  are fafe and powerful Medicines,
when compounded not only lofe their former Pow
ers,  but commence a ftrong and deadly Poifon.
   15. As to the Manner of ufing the Medicines
here iet down, I fhould aclvife as foon as you know
your Diftemper, (which is very eafy, unlefs in a
Complication of Diforders, and then you would
do well to apply to a Phyfician that fears God)^
Firfl, ufe the firfl of the Remedies for that Dif-
eafe which occurs in the enfuing Collection ; un-
lefs fome other of them  be eafier to be had, and
then  it  may do juft as well.)  Secondly,  After a
competent Time, if it takes no Effect, ufe the fe-
cond, the third,   and fo on.   I have purpofely
Stt down (in  moft Cafes)  feveral Remedies for
each Diforder-, not only  becaufe All  are  not
equally eafy to be procured at all Times  and in
all Places:  But  likewife  becaufe the  Medicine
which cures one Man, will not always cure ano-
ther of the fame Diftemper.  Nor will it cure the
fame Man at all Times.  Therefore ivt was necei-
iary to have a Variety.  However,  I have fub-
join'd the Letter /to thofe Medicines, which are
laid to be infallible.--"Thirdly, Oblerve  all  the
                                       Time 
                  [  aii  1
*Time the greateft Exactnefs in your Regimen,"
or manner of Living.  Abftain from all mixt, or
all  high feaion'd Food.'  Ufe plain Diet,  eafy of
Digeftion: And this as fparingly as you can, con-
fiftent with Eafe and Strength.  Drink only Wa-
ter, if it agrees with your Stomach-, if not, good
clear Small-beer.   Ufe as much Exercife daily,
in the open Air, as you can without Wearinefs.  ;!
 Sup at Six or Seven on the lighteft Food: Go to
 Bed early,  and rife betimes, To perfevere with
 Steadinefs in this Courfe, is often more than half  j
 the Cure.  Above all, add to  the  reft, (for it is
 not Labour loft; that old,  unfafhionable Medi-
 cine, Prayer.  And have Faith in God, who
 "  killeth and  maketh alive,  who bringeth down to
 the Grave and bringeth up."                      \
    16. For the Sake of thofe who defire, through  '•
 the Blefling of God, to  retain the Health which  ■'
 they have recovered, I have added a few plain  ]j
 eafy Rules, chiefly tranfcribed from  Dr.  Cheyne.  ':
    I.  i.  The Air we breathe is of great Confe-  j
 quence to our Health. Thofe v/ho have been long
' abroad in Eafterly or Northerly  Winds, fhould  i
 drink fome thin and warm Liquor going  to Bed-:  I
 or a draught of Toaft and  Water.               *
    2.  Tender People fhould have thofe  who lie  i
 with them or are much about them, found, fweet  J
 and healthy.                                   *
    3. Every  one  that  would  preferve Health;  ;
 fhould be as  clean and  fweet as pofiible in their  »
 Houfes,  Cloaths,  and Furniture.
   II. 1. The great Rule of Eating and Drinking is,  J
               ■ '                         To 
                  [  xiv  ]
 • To fuit the Quality and Quantity of Food to the
 Strength of our Degeftion •, to take always fuch a
 Sort and fuch a  Meafure of Food, as fits light
 and eafy on the Stomach.
   2. All pickled, or fmoaked, or falted Food, and
 all high-feafbn'd is unwholfome.
   3. Nothing conduces  more to Health, than
 Abftinence and plain Food,  with due Labour.
   4. For ftudious Perfons, about eight Ounces
 of Animal Food, and twelve of Vegetable in
 twenty-four Hours is fufficient.
   5. Water is the wholfomeft of all  Drinks;
 quickens  the  Appetite and ftrengthens the Di-
 geftion moft.
   6. Strong,  and more efpecially fpirituous Li-
 quors,  are a certain though flow  Poifon.
-  7.  Experience  mews, there is  no Manner of
 Danger, in leaving them  off all at once.
   8.  Strong Liquors do not  prevent the Mif-
 chiefs  of a Surfeit, nor  carry it off fo  fafely as
•Water.
   9. Malt Liquors (except clear Small bear of
a  due   Age) are  exceeding  hurtful  to tender
Perfons.
   10.  Coffee and Tea are extremely hurtful to
Perfons who have weak Nerves.
..  III.  1. Tender Perfons fhould  eat very light
Suppers;  and  that two or three Hours before
going to Bed.
   2. They ought conftantly  to go to  Bed a-
bout Nine, and rife at Four  or Five.
   IV.  1.  A due Degree of  Exercife is indif-
                                   penfably . 
[  xv   ]
 penfably necefiary  to Health and  long  Life.
   2. • Walking is the beft Exercife  for thofe who
 are able to bear it.  Riding for  thofe who are
 not.  The open  Air, when the Weather is fair,
 contributes  much to the Benefit of Exercife.
   3. We may ftrengthen any weak Part of the
 Body by conftant Exercife.   Thus  the Lungs
 may be ftrengthened by loud fpeaking,  or wal-
 king up an  eafy Afcent.   The Arms or Hams
 by ftrongly rubbing them daily.
   4. The Studious ought to have  ftated Times
 for Exercife,  at leaft two or three Hours a  Day:
 The one half of this before Dinner, the  other
 before going to Bed.
   5. They  fhould  frequently fhave, and fre-
 quently wafh their Feet.
   6. Thofe who read or wi ite much, fhould learn   ^
 to do it  Handing-, otherwife it will impare their
 Health.
   7. Xhe fewer Cloaths any one  ufes, by Day
 or Night, the hardier he will be.
   8. Exercife, firfl, fhould be always on anemp,
 ty Stomach;  fecond^y, fhould never be continu-
 ed to Wearinefs;  thirdly,  after it, we  fhould   I
 take Care to cool by Degrees. Otherwife we fhall   \
 catch Cold.                                    )
  9. The Flefh-brufh is a mod ufeful Exercife   *
efpecially to ftrengthen any Part that is weak.    1
   10. Cold-bathings  is a great Advantage to
Health.   It prevents  Abundance  of  Difeafes.
It promotes Perfpiration, helps the Circulation   \
of the Blood, and prevents the Danger of catch-
                                         ing 
 ing Cotd.   Tender  People fhould pour Water
 upon  the  Head before they go in, and walk in,
 fwiftly.  To jump in  with the Head foremoft,
 is too great a Shock to Nature.
   V.  i. Coftivenefs  cannot long confifl  with
 Health.   Therefore Care fhould be taken to re-
 move  it at the  Begining;  and when  it  is remo-
 ved, to prevent its Return, by foft, cool, open-
 ing Diet.
   2. Obftructed Perfpiration  (vulgarly called
 catching Cold) is  one  great Source of Difeafes.
 Whenever there appears the leaft Sign of this
 let it be removed by gentle Sweats.
   VI.  i. The Paflions  have a greater Influence
 on Health than moft People are aware of.
   2. All violent and hidden Paflions difpofe to,
 or actually throw People into acute Difeafes.
   3. The flow and lafting Pafilons,  fuch  as Grief
 and hopelefs Love, bring on chronical Difeafes.
   4. 'Till  the  Paflion  which caufed the Difeafe
 is calm'd,  Medicine is  applied in vain.
   5. The Love of God,  as it is  the  fovereign
 Remedy of all Miferies, fo  in particular  it effec-
tually prevents all the bodily Diforders the  Paf-,
 fjons introduce, by keeping the Paflions them-
felves within due Bounds.   And by the  unfpea-
kable Joy and perfect Calm, Serenity and Tran-
quillity it gives the Mind,  it becomes the moft
powerful of all the Means of  Health and long
Life.

      POSTSCRI  PT
 I.  T T was a great Surprife to the Editor of the
    JL following Collection, that there was Jo fwift   <
■and large  a Demand for it; that nine Imprejfions
^were called Jor in Jour or five Tears; and that it
was  not  only repiiblijhed by the  BookfeU&s  in a
 neighbouring Nation, but alfo inferted by Parts in
their public Papers,  and fo propagated through the   j
whole Kingdom.   This  encouraged him carefully t&   j
 revije the  whole, and to  tub lift)  it  again, with
feveral Alterations,  whicb it is hoped may make it   \
 of greater Ufe to thofe  who love common Senfe and   .j
common Honejiy.                                    \
   2. Thofe Alterations are fiill in Purfuance of my   \
firfl Deftgn,  To fet down  cheap, andfafe, and eafy   1
Medicines; eafy  to be known, eafy to be procured*   j
and eafy to be applied by plain unlettered Men. Ac-   \
cordingly,  1  have o'mmited a confiderable Number
which,  tho* cheap andfafe, were not fo common or   f
well known; and have added almofi an equal Num-
ber, to which that Objetlion cannot  be made: which
are not only of fmall Price,  and extreamly fafe, but   i
likewife taftly to be found, if not in every Houfe or   1
Yard, yet  in every Town, and 'almofi every Village   J
throughout the  Kingdom.                           ^
   3. It is becaujethey are not fafe,  but extremely   \
dangerous, that I have omitted {together with An-   ;
timony) the four Herculean Medicines,  Opium, *   .
the Bark,* Steel, and  the various Preparations of
                       C            Quickfilver.   *

 Quickftlvlr.  Herculean  indeed 7   Far too flrong
 for common Men to grapple with.  How many fatal
 EJfetli have thefe produced, even in the Hands of no
 ordinary Phyftcians? With regard to four of thefe,
 the Injlances are glaring and undeniable. And where-
 as Quickfilver, the fifth,  is in its native Form, as
 innocent as Bread or Water,  has not the Art been ^
 difMyfiyf,  fo to prepare it,  as to  make  it the
 mojraemly of allPoifons? Theje Phyftcianshave juft-
1 ly termededged Tools. But they have not yet taught
 them to wound at a Difiance :  And honeft Men are
 under  no  Necejftty  of touching them, or  coming
 within their Reach.

  'Tis often ufeful, to ufe the hot  Bath a few Days before

  Wife Parents fhould dip their Children in cold Water every
Morning, till  they are three Quarters old;  and afterwards,
their Hands and their Feet.

  N. B. No  Child fhalt ever be fwath'd tight.  It lays the
Foundation for many Difeafes.------'Tis bell to wean a Child
at about feven Months old.  They fhould lie in the Cradle at
leaft a Year.   No wife Parent fhould fuffer a Child to drink
any Tea; (at, leaft, till it is ten or twelve Years old) or to tafte
Spice or Sugar.   Milk, Milk-porridge, and Water-gruel are
the proper Breakfaft for Children.

   Wafhing the Head every Morning in cold  Water, prevents
