    The firft and fecond part of the book re¬ main unaltered, with refped to the fubjed itfelf; but as it was the general opinion, that I had in various places in the third part been led into medical difquifitions, deeper than what the fubjedt required, I rea¬ dily complied in expunging what appeared to me fuperfluous; and believe, that though the book is fomewhat lefs, it however is fuf- ficiently compleat with refped to the fubjed:. The recipes in this edition I have written in Latin, and at full length. This may feem to deviate from my firft intended plan, in extending its benefit univerfally; but from the forcible arguments of men of candour and experience, l am perfuaded that the alteration cannot in the leaft ob- ftrud its utility ; but mult have many ad¬ vantages, particularly in a venereal fubjed, where there are fo many illiterate pretenders. To conclude, I return s*eneral thanks for the many teftimonies of approbation I have been honoured with. Confcious, that I have, and wifli to contribute to the wel¬ fare of mankind, I am happy in giving fa- tisfadion to the worthy part of fociety and in following the didates of my own con¬ ference. N.
