MEeting accidently at a Coffee-House with a Scandalous Paper , reflecting on two Eminent and Worthy Physitians , Dr. Morton , and Dr. Goodall ; my Curiosity led me to enquire the truth of Fact , believing nothing ill or mean , as that Paper would insinuate , could come from Men of their Rank and Figure : Upon true Information the Story runs thus :

Dr. Morton being sent for to a Patient , prescribed the Jesuites Bark , as a Remedy he believed would cure the Disease . The Patient refused , alledging it had been often taken by the advice of one Blackstone an Apothecary in Newgate-Market , ( which by the way is more than Blackstone dare justifie , being punishable for him to give repeated Doses without a Physitian ; ) however Dr. Morton modestly told the Patient , he would not answer for Blackstone's Practice , or Powder ; but if they would please to send to Dr. Goodall , who he knew to have a good sort by him , which might be depended upon , he believed Dr. Goodall , upon his Note , would supply them with such a proportion as was needful . Accordingly a Note was writ , and Dr. Goodall sent two Ounces , at the rate mentioned in the Paper .

But this was purely accidental , without any design of Dr. Morton or Dr. Goodall , to sell , or get advantage by the Medicine , Dr. Goodall taking that Money of the Patient , purely in regard and tenderness to the Apothecary , the most moderate of the Trade taking that or a better Price for the Medicine ; for being it was not to a Charitable Patient , he was not obliged to give it Gratis ; so on the other hand , he was not willing to give any advantage against the Apothecary .

This being the Truth of Fact , betrays the great Malice , Ignorance and Weakness , nay Madness of that Paper ; which I further prove by this ensuing instance .

I sent a Bill to Blackstone's Shop , for some Doses of the same Powder , and instead of 4 s. per Ounce , they took at the rate of 12 s. per Ounce , several times , and told the Maid that fetch'd it , they did not use to sell it so cheap , but they let her have it so , in hopes to get her Mistresses Custom : Now the design of the Paper being to insinuate Extortion in the Doctors , let the world Judge where lies the Extortion .

I publish this for real Publick Good , to shew the Candour , Justice , and Civility of the two Physitians , and the Baseness , Folly , and horrid Extravagance of the Authors of that Paper , who ( because Dr. Morton was just to his Patient , to prescribe a good Medicine , Dr. Goodall kind to let the Patient have it , and that with so much respect and kindness to the Apothecary , ) reflects upon these worthy Persons for so doing ; chiefly too , because a more rotten sort of Stuff , perhaps , would not do the feat ; is a piece of Villany , to be punisht by the Civil Magistrate , and not by any further notice from the Doctors ; who are too Great , Generous and Good , to bark against such little Curs ; who , as their own Paper does conclude Nothing , are Nothing , and sit for Nothing , Purely , Simply , ( and if possible ) less than Nothing .
