    The difeafe is now fo well underftood, that it will not be difficult to defcribe it clearly, in all its appearances; andwefhall eftablifh cer¬ tain marks by which to know when it is, and when it is not in a confutation : thefe will be laid down in the fucceeding chapters in a few plain words; that they may be un¬ derftood with eafe, and retained in the memory. To this end it tyillbe proper, after fome general obfervations'on the nature of the dif¬ eafe, to confider it, according to the received diftindtion, into three kinds or degrees, the clap,the local and the univerfal pox; with the fymptoms of each, and their beft treat¬ ment. This will give the reader a tho¬ rough knowledge of the diftemper : and he will then be able to underftand more perfectly, the obfcure marks by which it may be difcovered when it is latent in the Conftitution ; or when it appears in the difguife of other diforders.
