Transcriber’s Note
Footnotes were moved to the ends of chapters and renumbered 1–191.
¶ Illustrations (figs. 1–19.) were all printed on one large page. The available image of this page is not very good—in particular, the Figure numbers are not all easy to read. Therefore, the figure numbers have been added in more legible form, in square brackets "[]" to the [image]. The html edition of this ebook contains a somewhat better image.
¶ I created the cover image and hereby assign it to the public domain.
Original spelling and grammar are generally retained, with a few exceptions noted below.
Page [viii]. The phrase "Which do no not promise a" was changed to "Which do not promise a".
Page [19]. Changed impregdated to impregnated in the phrase “tho’ it be duly impregdated with Salt”.
Page [20]. “Strenghning” is retained.
Page [23]. “Royal Acamy” is retained.
Page [26]n. “Sanie & hnmano Sanguine” to “Sanie & humano Sanguine”.
Page [83]. In this discussion, the footnote designators are the original printed ones, which have been changed to numbers in this edition. There were four footnote anchors [a, b, c, c] on the page, which begins with “Nerves, with a great inward”, and four distinct footnotes labeled Delirium”, there were two printed footnote anchors [e, f], and three footnotes [d, e, f]. The footnote originally labeled “d” is herein eliminated from page 84; it said “Vid. Galen. de Theriac. ad Pison, l. 1. cap. 16.”.
Page [94]. The third footnote (now numbered 89) originally read approximately thus: “(f) Vid. Aetium. .6: c. 24.” but there is a smudge preceding the “.6:”, possibly a number or some other character.
Page [97]. There were three footnotes [f g h] on this page, which begins with “this Spongy Excrescence, if it be”, and only two footnote anchors [g h]. The first footnote (f) is a duplicate of the third and last footnote from page 96, and so has been removed from this edition.
Page [120]. Changed Treament to Treatment, in “Symptoms from so severe a Treament”.
Page [122]. The phrase “found in Mines of God” is retained, but is perhaps wrong. The first footnote, now labeled 130, beginning “(f) Lib. [smudge]” is partly illegible.
Page [127]. Changed “substitued” to “substituted”.
