AN ALPHABETICAL BOOK OF Physical Secrets, For all those Diseases that are most predominant and dangerous (curable by Art) in the Body of Man. Collected for the benefit, most especial of Householders in the Country, who are either fare remote, or else not able to entertain a learned Physician: as likewise for the help of such Ladies and Gentle woman, who of charity labour to do good. Whereunto is annexed a small Treatise of the judgement of Urines. By OWEN WOOD Printed at London by JOHN NORTON for WALTER edmond's, and are to be sold at his Shop at the sign of the Crown near Ludgate. 1639. To the courteous Reader. IN all civil and well ordered commonwealths, even where best Schools of Learning, and famous Universities are, you shall find published not only methodical discourses concerning the curation of infirmities of the body of man; but Treatises also containing parable medicaments, which any one who is endued but with a mean judgement, may apply to himself, whereas neither Physician nor Apothecary can be had. Great plenty of such Books are published in the Germane tongue: for the Germans delight in uttering of Pamphlets, promising the revelation of secrets in Physic, which prove nothing else but trivial toys. England in like manner is reasonably ill stored with such stuff, which emboldeneth no small number of bold Knaves, and impudent Queans to meddle with the Practice of Physic, to the utter ruin of no small number of rude and improvident persons, who commit themselves to the Skill and Cure of such unworthy persons. That this is a truth, the manifold complaints which come to the Physicians College when the Fellows sit do make good. So that it might seem requisite rather to suppress no●t of these I reateses, then to publish any more of this kind. But this Book may be privileged to come abroad, if you either respect the method or matter. The Remedies may easily be found out, the Diseases being set down Alphabetically. The Remedies are not to be rejected; but, seem to have been set down by one who was no Stranger in the Practice of Physic. The Printer having been informed of so much, was not willing to keep the Treatise within is private walls; but to Print some Copies of it, and to present them to the public view and censure. He only desireth that his good intention, and purpose to further the public good, may be taken in good part of those who have not too consuring Spirits. If he shall find thy favourable acceptance of this Treatise, he will not spare to publish Books of the like Subject come to his hands, if they shall be thought worthy of the Press. 25 March 1639.
