I cannot help remarking a farther advan- tage the Public may reap in making ufe of this medicine; I mean the eafy rate it may be conveyed at from one place to another : for, with fome quarts of this Extract (the car- riage of which can never be very expenfive, though the hofpitals are at a great diftance), many hogfheads of the Vegeto-mineral Water may be made. This is the path I open to the praXitioners. in furgery, for the cure of many diforders in- cident to their province: I have no other viewy in my commendations of the different prepa- rations of Lead, in the Obfervations and Re- flexions I have already made, or fhall make,., in this Treatife, than of being ufeful to the Hofpitals and the Public. I flatter myfelT that the world is in fome meafure indebted to me for publifhing this medicine; which, if concealed in my own breaft, might have turned out much more to my private emolu- ment. Let not Envy, then, endeavour to take from this ExtraX the encomiums it fo juftly deferves: my ambition is, to convince the world, that the only motive I had in making- it public, was a regard for my fellow-creatures. For my own part, I fhall think myfelf luffi- ciently recompenfed, if my conftant applica- tion and uninterrupted obfervations contribute to the public welfare. CHAP,
