    infiduous methods of obliquely begging praife, I am bold enough to aflert that the Venereal Difeafe was never better invgeftigated, more attentively purfued in all its latent recedes, nor was there ever a more radical, rational certain and cheap mode of cure pointed out by human induftry, than will be found in {he following Treatife.—Under this conviction* and the probability of accomplifhing the general benefit I intended to mankind in my unremitting and painful inveftigation of this diforder, it is a confolation to my mind to refleCf that I have performed a duty which I owed tq fociety, and I take an open, undifguifed, manly pride, which I now publicly avow, in faying, that the extenfive knowledge I have acquired, is commenfurate to the pains and expence I have been at in acquiring it. .
