THe greateſt Reaſon that I could ever obſerve why the Medicines preſcribed in theſe Books above mentioned, and in many other Phyſick Books, do not perform the Cures promiſed, is, the unskilfulneſs of thoſe that make up the Medicines. I therefore adviſe all thoſe that have occaſion to uſe any Medicines to go or ſend to Mr. Ralph Clarke Apothecary at the ſign of the three Crowns on Ludgate-Hill, in London; where they ſhall be ſure to have ſuch as are skilfully and honeſtly made.
