THese Pictures present what I have Cured by Manual Operations ; Besides such Variety of other Cures on the Sick , Lame , and Blind , ) by Medicinal Applications ) that without boasting , I may truly say , few has yet performed the like ; yet some are to disingenuous , as to undervalue that they never did , cannot mend , or ever see done .

There is above 100 Diseases of the Eyes and few understands their Cure , which causeth so many Blind that a good Oculist might have prevented ; for it s not enough to say he is a Linguist ( if he have not studied to be an Oculist ) that will not serve the Patient , who cries , give me Ease and Sight , or else I am for ever blind .

Those that are troubled with distempered 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 .

Many Ocular Diseases are Cured by a Medicinal Application , some by Manual Operation . In Couching of Cataracts , if they err little more than an hairs breadth , the Sight is for ever lost , that might have been preserved by a dextrous Hard : Some in Couching of Cataracts have distorted the Pupil of the Eye , rent and tore the Wea or Grape-Coat , made a confused mixture of the Aqueous , Vitreous or Albugineous Humors ; rent and broke the Christalline in sunder , leaving such an Inflammation on the Adnata , by their tedious turning and twisting their Instrument in the Eye , that the Inflammation is a long while a Curing . with extreme Pains of the Head , and los . of Sight for ever . Many mistake the Ocular Ulcer for a common Speck ; who by their Waters and Powders , Corrode the Adnata and Cornea asunder ; giving such vent to the Humors in the Eye , that the Eye sinks presently , never to be restored : Some by applying Corrosives to Ocular Ulcers , have dilated them over the whole Cornea , which if ever Cured , leaves an incurable Cicatrix or Scar , with perpetual loss of Sight .

Several mistake the Cicatrix or Sear , for a supersinous thin Film , and have applyed Corrosives to eat it away , which hath caused an Ulcer where none was : Many by applying Corrosives to a Fistula Lachrymalis , have eaten away the Lachrymalis Glandules leaving for ever a continual flowing of Tears . Some have so exasperated the Cancer in the Eye , that they have left it without either hopes of Recovery , or Palliating , but have miserably perished : Several mistake pockey Pustules on the Eye-lid , and Venereal Ulcers , thinking to Cure them by common Medicines ; ( which will never do )

Although I mention but a few Diseases here , yet my practice is in General on all Distempers both inward and outward that can afflict the Bodies of Men , Women and Children . For having such proper Medicines so friendly to the Spirit of Life , that is most probable to Cure all curable Distempers ; therefore let none be afraid to come to me because of the long continuance of their Distemper , for I have Cured many that have been given over by others as uncurable .

I should have forborn Publishing Papers if I had not been Reported Dead , &c.
