Purge downward rather than upward, use potions rather than pills, and when you begin physic, persevere and continue in a course; for as one observes, [4254] movere et non educere in omnibus malum est ; to stir up the humour (as one purge commonly doth) and not to prosecute, doth more harm than good.
