    the tnojl important and fubjlantial blejfings to mankind ! There is one admonition highly necef- fary :—it is this •, that perfons taking medicines, fhould pay the moji implicit regard to the direc- tions given therewith, and in particular to conform in eating> drinking, &c. for unlefs the patient will render his own affiftance towards the opera- tion of the remedy, its efficacy muft certainly be weakened, and often retarded, if not totally de- ft royed: Science may, and does teach one how to prepare and apply the Produclions of Nature for her aid againft Difeafe ; but furely it is not in the power of all the medical men in Europe to devije a Specific for inconftderate carelefsnefs. Reader, farewell ! I have now done my duty ; and reft allured, that the molt exalted and refined felicity fprings from the unwearied endeavours to lefien the evils of life, and add to the enjoyment of your fellow-creatures. S. SOLOMON, Solomon's Place, Liverpool.
