CONSIDERATIONS Humbly Offered to the Lords Spiritual and Temporal , in Relation to the APOTHECARIES BILL , now Depending before their Lordships .

THE Exemption desired by the Apothecaries , they humbly conceive , will much contribute to the Publick Good : For by this means , they will be enabled to apply themselves to the Duties of their Calling ; ( wherein the Health and Preservation , of Persons of all Ranks and Conditions is so much concern'd ) without those frequent Interruptions and Avocations , which now upon the account of Juries and Offices they are liable to .

The like Privilege , by Particular Acts of Parliament hath been granted ; as well to Surgeons , as Physicians , that they might be wholly employ'd in the Business of their Professions , and that the Diseased and Wounded might not want , that constant Care and Attendance which their Necessities required : And the Apothecaries humbly submit it to your Lordships Considerations , Whether this Reason may not be weigh'd at least with equal Force on their Behalfs .

If this Bill passes , as the People of the Best Condition , will be better taken Care of in their Sickness ; who expect the Apothecaries to be present with the Physician to receive his full Instructions , and likewise to visit them often during the Operation of the Medicines ; so the Poor will have a manifest Advantage , to whom the Apothecaries , if exempted from Juries and Offices , will have more Time and Leisure , to extend their Charitable Care .

And it 's hoped your Lordships will not think the Opposition , made against this Bill reasonable , when it shall be considered : That the Number of Apothecaries within the Bills of Mortality , not exceeding Three hundred thirty seven ; by a modest Calculation of the Families and Persons within that Compass , there will not appear , to be One Apothecary to Four hundred Families , and at least Two thousand Persons . And as for the Charge that by this Exemption , is suggested will happen to their Neighbours , the same by the like Computation ; will not amount to above One Farthing per Annum to each House : which Inconsiderable Suffering , will be abundantly recompenced by the Apothecaries Uninterrupted and more Constant Attendance on them .
