That it may be accounted To the Sick-man a SANCTUARY, AND To the Studious a LIBRARY: CONTAINING A Salubrious Remedy for every Malady incident to the body of Man.

Written in Latin, by our learned Countryman JOHN SADLER Dr. in Physic: Translated, revised, corrected and augmented By R. T. London, Printed by J. C. for R. Moon at the seven Stars, and Henry Fletcher at the three gilt Cups in Paul's Churchyard. 1657. To his worthily respected friend, Mr. Christoph. Woodhouse of BERKHAMSTEED in the County of Hertford, Doctor in Physic. SIR, I Remember amongst the legenda aurea of the ancient Philosophers, it is recorded of Aristippus, Scholar to Socrates, that Cum civibus aliquot suis navigans naufragio es ejeotus; quum in littore vidisset figure as Mathematicos in littore depictas: salva, inquit, res est Amici, hominum vestigia conspicio. Et ingressus civitatem proxima investigavit, qui nam essent illic disciplinarum studiosis, cum his ubi congressus est summa cum humanitate tractaruns non ipsum modo, verum & etiam comites illius. etc. When he was at Sea with some of his Countrymen, they were by Shipwreck cast upon the shore of a strange country Aristippus perceived some Mathematical figures drawn in the sands: Be of good comfort friends (quoth he) for I see the steps of men: assuring himself and his company, that there he saw the Emblems of Virtue, and that the Students therein could not be far distant; from whom they might expect courteous entertainment: and so they found it. Sir, I am much encouraged to present this little Piece to you, having seen your steps; and in this tempestuous age, wherein there is a Shipwreck of almost all delightful studies, the steps of men, of lovers of Minerva, appearing about your coasts: I say, this comfort affords me so much confidence, as to presume this Translation will be acceptable to you: rejoicing that some plants of Apollo flourish in your pleasant playns; so that I desire you amongst the rest to receive this little branch within your walls; from whence I doubt not but you will gather profitable fruits: which is the Ambition of Yours really to serve you, Robert Turner. London, ult. Novemb. 1656. To the Reader. Custom rather than Necessity engages me, because I must not be out of the fashion, to put a Preface before this book; in which I shall be as brief as may be: for I brook not Prolixity, nor longwinded Lectures: semel dictum sapienti, sat est. Then Reader let me only tell you, (if you know not already) that this is a Translation of the Praxis Medicorum of Doctor Sadler, with the addition of many private Receipts and Experiments of the ablest Physicians now in practice. Indeed I was the rather induced to put this into English, because it was the language of a City-Doctor, that he had rather the book were burnt, than I should see it; which I hearing of, soon procured one of them, and now freely communicare in unto all my Countrymen; hoping it will sprout like the Camomile, the better being trod on; and give pleasant and profitable fruit to all that desire it; as doth Robert Turner.
