Physician
Sir, besides the above commemorated,
there are also other Observations;
strenuously refuting the
Operation on an Universal Medicine,
partly in respect of the Age
and strength of Man, partly by
reason of the Sex, and other Circumstances,
whilst a difference is
to be made between the tender,
and the Robust, whether from
Nature, or from Education; or
between the Male and Female, or
between a Young Man and a Virgin,
or between the Beginning,
Middle, or End of Diseases; or
it is to be understood whether a
Disease, be inveterate, or the Sick
be lately invaded; or lastly, whether
the Ferment be promoted in
this Disease, or be precipited in
in another. Effervescency is made
either in the Stomach or in the Intestines.
Assuredly there are many
contradictions of the Wonderful
effect, of the Universal Medicine.
For the greatest part of rational
Physicians want the Perspicil
of Thomas Didymus in their
Fingers.
Artist
Indeed, Sir; you have philosophised
rightly, and well, yea, Arthodoxly,
against the universal Medicament,
according to that notorious,
and far spred proverb. As
many Heads, so many Senses. For
as Sweet sounding Musick delights
not the Ears of every Midas; nor
doth the Same History related
please all Historians; nor of Bread
and Wine, of the same Taste, is
there a like relish in all Palats. So
also the judgements of Skilful Men
do strangely differ, touching the
wonderful Effect of this Universal
Medicine, on Humane and
Metallick Bodies.
