    [ +2 ] I remember to have lately read, in the Writings of fome Author, how dangerous it was to propofe any Novelty in Practice; and, that it was thought better to fuffer Thou- fands to perifh under the common Treatment, than to fave them by deviating from the beaten Track. Which might poffibly be the Fate of this my prefent Endeavour ; wherein as my foie Aim is and has been altogether for the public Good, in exhibiting thefe my practical No¬ tions, joined with the Opinion of others, concerning the Ufe of Sea- Water; and though not fet forth in a Latin Drefs (as lately done by other Gentlemen of the Faculty) will I hope not the lefs fail to meet with its due Encouragement. It being but a Part of what I intend, if by this Specimen, it is allowed what I have written, be rational, ufeful, and inftruftive.
