    IT is a troublefome thing to be afflided with difeafes; but the fick eafily bear that trouble, while there is any hope of a cure. But while they find no relief, after the ufe of many medicines, but grow rather worfe, the diforder often becomes more cruel than death itfelf. For the fick, who are affli&ed with fuch con¬ tinued mifery, hourly pray for an end of their lives. The pains then bellowed upon the cure of fuch grievous difeafes, and on difcovering new and efficacious remedies, is highly ufeful to mankind. For this purpofe the plants called Poifonous promife much. That is plainly demonftrated by the experL ments on Thorn-Apple, Henbane, and Aconite, or Monks hoop, related in tbefe few pages.
