<P>THe&s;e Pictures pre&s;ent what I have Cured by Manual Operations; Be&s;ides &s;uch Variety of other Cures on the Sick, Lame, and Blind,) by Medicinal Applications) that with|out boa&s;ting, I may truly &s;ay, few has yet performed the like; yet &s;ome are to di&s;|ingenuous, as to undervalue that they never did, cannot mend, or ever &s;ee done.</P>
<P>There is above 100 Di&s;ea&s;es of the Eyes and few under&s;tands their Cure, which cau&s;eth &s;o many Blind that a good Oculi&s;t might have prevented; for its not enough to &s;ay he is a Lingui&s;t (if he have not &s;tudied to be an Oculi&s;t) that will not &s;erve the Patient, who cries, give me Ea&s;e and Sight, or el&s;e I am for ever blind.</P>
<P>Tho&s;e that are troubled with di&s;tempered Eyes, if they come in time may have Cure; I have cured many that have been blind 20 or 30 Years, 2 of them born Blind.</P>
<P>Many Ocular Di&s;ea&s;es are Cured by a Medicinal Application, &s;ome by Manual Opera|tion. In Couching of Cataracts, if they err little more than an hairs breadth, the Sight is for ever lo&s;t, that might have been pre&s;erved by a dextrous Hard: Some in Couching of Cataracts have di&s;torted the Pupil of the Eye, rent and tore the <HI>&V;vea</HI> or <HI>Grape-Coat,</HI> made a confu&s;ed mixture of the <HI>Aqueous, Vitreous</HI> or <HI>Albugineous</HI> Humors; rent and broke the Chri&s;talline in &s;under, leaving &s;uch an Inflammation on the <HI>Adnata,</HI> by their tedious turn|ing and twi&s;ting their In&s;trument in the Eye, that the Inflammation is a long while a Curing. with extreme Pains of the Head, and lo&s;. of Sight for ever. Many mi&s;take the Ocular Ulcer for a common Speck; who by their Waters and Powders, Corrode the <HI>Adnata</HI> and <HI>Cornea</HI> a&s;under; giving &s;uch vent to the Humors in the Eye, that the Eye &s;inks pre&s;ent|ly, never to be re&s;tored: Some by applying Corro&s;ives to Ocular Ulcers, have dilated them over the whole <HI>Cornea,</HI> which if ever Cured, leaves an incurable Cicatrix or Scar, with perpetual lo&s;s of Sight.</P>
<P>Several mi&s;take the Cicatrix or Sear, for a &s;uper&s;inous thin Film, and have applyed Cor|ro&s;ives to eat it away, which hath cau&s;ed an Ulcer where none was: Many by applying Corro&s;ives to a <HI>Fi&s;tula Lachrymalis,</HI> have eaten away the <HI>Lachrymalis Glandules</HI> leaving for ever a continual flowing of Tears. Some have &s;o exa&s;perated the Cancer in the Eye, that they have left it without either hopes of Recovery, or Palliating, but have mi&s;erably peri&s;hed: Several mi&s;take pockey Pu&s;tules on the Eye-lid, and Venereal Ulcers, thinking to Cure them by common Medicines; (which will never do)</P>
<P>Although I mention but a few Di&s;ea&s;es here, yet my practice is in General on all Di|&s;tempers both inward and outward that can afflict the Bodies of Men, Women and Chil|dren. For having &s;uch proper Medicines &s;o friendly to the Spirit of Life, that is mo&s;t pro|bable to Cure all curable Di&s;tempers; therefore let none be afraid to come to me becau&s;e of the long continuance of their Di&s;temper, for I have Cured many that have been given over by others as uncurable.</P>
<P>I &s;hould have forborn Publi&s;hing Papers if I had not been Reported Dead, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></P>
