PREFACE.
T being usual for Authors, in Prefaces, to render an Account of theOccasion which gave Birth to their Writings, and to acquaint the Readerwith the Design and Scope of their Discourses; I thought it convenient tocontinue a Custom approved by many illustrious Examples.
[Pg vj]The Motive of publishing this Tract, is not the Intercession of Friends,for none had ever the View of any Part of it; and that it is not Design ofApplause that has engaged me in this Undertaking, the Care I have had toconceal my Name will, I suppose, free me from such Suspicion: the chiefInducement proceeds from an Inclination to Mankind, to instruct them topreserve and prolong their Lives, thereby to prevent them from usingfraudulent Quack Medicines (which are now become so universally vendibleamongst them) or advising with such as are wholly ignorant; and I shouldthink my self sufficiently rewarded for my Pains, if I could arrive to[Pg vij]the Point of reforming the Abuses of the present, and restoring theSimplicity of the ancient Practice, by laying open to the BU KİTABI OKUMAK İÇİN ÜYE OLUN VEYA GİRİŞ YAPIN!
