Swift, Jonathan. The right of precedence between physicians and civilians enquired into [ID D27122].
Er schreibt : "For it is well known, that Physick has been always necessary to the World, and what Mankind cannot be without. It has been requisite in all Ages and Places, which is more than can be asserted in behalf of Law, either Civil or Canon. I don't believe they know any thing of these in China or the Mogul's country, but we know they do of Physick, which prevails in the East, which supplies us with great part of our Materia medica ; and no English-Man ought in Gratitude to forget, that the great Genius and Honour of England was cur'd of a Fit of the Gout by a salutary Moss from the East."
