Septemb. 1664. Christophorus Laurentius Med. Doctor THE PREFACE AMongst the complaints of the diseased none more frequently mentioned than the Scurvy and none less known except by its title most of them shewing a several character of the disease and in several parts some spots in this place others in another and different colours some loosness of teeth putrid gums ill savoured breath pains in several parts weakness of the legs and thighs lassitude and indisposition to motion or action and other symptoms accompanying this Protean disease And although the signs be many which discover the Disease yet to the most they are rather a disguise save only the name Scurvy to cheat their Judgment than a guide to lead them into the knowledge and discovery of it from what causes its chief seat of residence and manner of generation The variety of spotted faces and dresses that this Disease puts on and presents it self in the variety of places and parts of the body differing in constitution fabrication and office that this takes up for its quarters and aboad displaying it self in colours above board and yet a jugler deceiving and deluding that comparing one sign with another they disown their alliance as Heterogene and seem to clash one with another as if they were not the off-spring of the same Parents the fruit and productions from the same radix Hence variety of opinions and errors concerning the nature of this disease and from false principles erroneous practices in the cure have ensued and is prosecuted by many ineffectually and frustraneously which causeth many Scorbutick Persons to think and say their disease is incurable for having undergone so many courses in Physick spring and fall and tryed variety of Medicines yet they are the same or benefited but a little or for a short time the symptoms only abated and nature alleviated for a while but soon after they return to their former condition or worse These considerations moved me to ventilate this subject as well for my own satisfaction and more certainty in the cure thereof as also to inform others and by a strict disquisition and serious examination tracing step by step made discoveries of errors which passed for warrantable and unquestionable truths being supported by the authorities of Learned and approved Authors and being sufficiently satisfied Theoretically and practically I cannot but recede from some opinions which before tenaciously I maintained being nourished and bred up in those doctrines I have not therefore bestowed these pains for an affected singularity to gain popular applause or be accounted a novelist and innovator but that the dictates of reason confirmed by observation and practice have caused me to dissent from the common opinions for being frustrate of my intentions in effecting cures by the usual method established upon unsound principles was urged to make inquiries into the causes from whence such frustration and failings did arise and being sufficiently perswaded and satisfied herein have therefore deserted the usual method and Medicines for that which is more certain and effectual as the Medicines
