THE VERTUES OF CHOCOLATE East-India Drink .

BY this pleasing drink health is preserved , sicknesse diverted , It cures Consumptions and Cough of the Lungs ; it expells poyson , cleanseth the teeth , and sweetneth the Breath ; provoketh Urine ; cureth the stone and strangury , maketh Fatt and Corpulent , faire and aimeable , it cureth the running of the Reins , with sundry other desperate Diseases ; It causeth Conception according to these Verses , Nor need the Women longer grieve , Who spend their oyle yet not Conceive , For 't is a Help Immediate , If such but Lick of Chocolate .

Beauty gaind and continued , as this verse speaketh , The Nut-Browne Lasses of the Land , Whom Nature vail'd in Face and hand , Are quickly Beauties of High-Rate , By one small Draught of Chocolate .

It is impossible to innumerate all new and admirable effects then producing every day in such as drink it , therefore I 'le leave the Judgement of it , to those who daily make a continuall proofe of it .

THE PROPERTIES OF CAVEE Egipt Drink .

IT perfectly cureth the Consumption , Gout , Spleen , Dropsie , sore eyes , and all that are troubled with Rheumes , it immediately taketh away the Head-ach , it procureth appetite , and helps Digestion ; and for Students or others who are to sit up late , or all Night , they drinking about two or three pennyworth of it , about their usuall time of going to bed , or when they begin to grow sleepy and drowsie , it will cheare and comfort their spirits , and make them lively , and fit for their imployment , and have no drowsinesse to come upon them all night after , it is incomparable good for those that are troubled with Melancholy , and excellent to keep Women from miscarrying , and very good for them that never had Children ; It is also excellent to kill Wormes in young or old , to dry all manner of Tetters , Ringwormes , or any other evills , the stemme of it is good against dim , watery or bloudshed Eyes ; It would be too tedious to Nominate every thing it is good for , therefore I forbeare .

These drinks are to be sold by James Gough at M. Sury's neare East gate . Decemb●● 1660.
