A _Man_ that would not take a _Clyster_.
When the Patient is Rich, there’s No Fear of Physicians about him, as
Thick as Wasps to a Honey-Pot; and there was a Whole College of them
call’d to a Consultation upon a _Purse-proud Dutch Man_, that was
Troubled with a _Megrim_. The Doctors prescrib’d him a Clyster; The
Patient fell into a Rage upon’t. Why _Certainly These People are all
Mad_, says he, _to Talk of Curing a Man’s Head at his Tail_.
The MORAL.
_He that Consults his Physician, and will not follow his Advice, must be
his Own Doctor: But let him take the Old Adage along with him._ He that
Teaches Himself has a Fool to his Master.
