THE AESCULAPIAN LABYRINTH EXPLORED;
OR,
MEDICAL MYSTERY ILLUSTRATED.
IN A SERIES OF INSTRUCTIONS TO
YOUNG PHYSICIANS, SURGEONS, ACCOUCHERS, APOTHECARIES, DRUGGISTS, AND PRACTITIONERS OF EVERY DENOMINATION, IN TOWN AND COUNTRY.
INTERSPERSED WITH A VARIETY OF
RISIBLE ANECDOTES AFFECTING THE FACULTY.
INSCRIBED TO THE COLLEGE OF WIGS, BY GREGORY GLYSTER, AN OLD PRACTITIONER.
LONDON: PRINTED FOR G. KEARSLEY, NO. 46, FLEET-STREET.
TO THE COLLEGE OF WIGS.
"Most potent, grave, and reverend signiors, "My very noble and approved good" Doctors.
Anxiously solicitous to obtain belief, that
"I shall nothing extenuate, "Nor set down aught in malice,"
you may in justice conclude me,
Your very candid,
And obedient representative,
GREGORY GLYSTER.
THE
AESCULAPIAN LABYRINTH
EXPLORED.
TO THE PHYSICIAN.
Your person and place of residence, being by these means universally known, and your name become in a proportional degree popular, let your plan and mode of behaviour be instantly changed; it will be now necessary
"You "assume a" hurry "if you have it not,"
TO THE SURGEON.
This instance sufficiently demonstrates the impropriety of overstraining the professional prerogative, especially with those obstinate uncivilized beings, who have so little pliability of disposition, as not to lay in bed when required; particularly in cases of emergency, where it is so evidently for the promotion of their own health and safety.
TO THE ACCOUCHER,
OR,
MAN-MIDWIFE.
"Vain his attempt who strives to please you all."
TO THE APOTHECARY.
"I love to laugh, though Care stand frowning bye, And pale Misfortune rolls her meagre eye."
Thus happily disposed to those brilliant sallies of mirth, that almost renovate life, and set melancholy at defiance, you will be the less liable to surprise, that I shall descend to the very minutiae of your necessary qualifications, for the support of so arduous and complicated a character as you are now going to perform upon the theatre of life.
"To pass that bourne, From whence no traveller returns,"
THE CHYMISTS AND DRUGGISTS.
The series of instructions advanced for the promotion of professional interest, have been promulgated without a fear of offence, or hope of reward; amidst the very great number of different practitioners, into whose hands these admonitions must inevitably fall, happy he who can exultingly exclaim,
"Let the gall'd jade wince, our withers are unwrung."
A steady observance of the iniquity of medical practice has long since powerfully convinced me of the absolute necessity of professional reformation, and should I succeed in producing a change in the systematic imposition of one, and preventing perpetual depredation upon the other, every idea of personal ambition will be fully gratified, for
"So little slave to what the world calls fame; As dies my body--so I wish my name."
