    In health--when ill, we call them to attend us,
    Without the least propensity to jeer.

Cleanse the stuffed bosom of the perilous stuff
Which weighs upon the heart?

Must minister to himself.
(Macbeth:) Throw physic to the dogs, I'll none of it!

All his tricks founder and he brings his physic
After his patient's death: the king already
Hath married the fair lady.
