A34855	A discourse wherein the interest of the patient in reference to physick and physicians is soberly debated, many abuses of the apothecaries in the preparing their medicines are detected, and their unfitness for practice discovered : together with the reasons and advantages of physicians preparing their own medicine.	Coxe, Thomas, 1615-1685.; Coxe, Daniel, d. 1730.	1669 (1669)	Wing C6727; ESTC R25356	84,750	293

good_a frequent_o ill_a effect_n they_o can_v be_v blame_v for_o desist_v from_o the_o use_n of_o what_o they_o find_v attend_v with_o so_o bad_a consequence_n which_o how_o injurious_a it_o have_v

yet_o the_o art_n itself_o be_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v explode_v it_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o all_o ingenuous_a unprejudiced_a person_n that_o a_o excellent_a use_n may_v be_v make_v thereof_o
