A Person of very Great Quality having brought over from Italy the greatest Secret in the World : A Powder that in 10 or 12 days time perfectly Cures the Pox , Evil , or Scurvey , with only one Dose taking ; not only Shankers , Nodes , and Inveterate Ulcers , but also to the working out of Rotten Bones , whether from the Pox or Evil , casting off all that is Corrupted of any kind , Sweetning the whole Mass of Blood , and restoring the Body to Perfect Health , free from any Relapse : The Truth of which is already in London so sufficiently Try'd , that to any Person that hath occasion , and cannot be brought into a Belief from the Testimony of Persons of Great Worth and Integrity , who are ready at all times to affirm it ; shall then see several Patients of the worst kind that have been Cured : And if they Doubt of this , I solemnly invite them to bring out of the Hospitals or elsewhere , any so highly Distempered , that the most unbelieving Persons can Produce . I will Administer the Dose to them from my own Hand before them , and in the presence of three or four Persons of Quality that they and I shall agree upon , that are Curious to inspect so Wonderful a Cure . And though some Gain-sayers , through Ignorance or Interest , may Report this single Dose to be dangerous in its Operation , I do declare the contrary , that it is Pleasant to the Pallat and easie in its Operation , performing its Work in 6 or 8 hours , and its Cure as abovesaid , only observing an Order and Regiment of Diet for the prefixt time .

WElcome Great Secret to our English Shore , Thou truly Greatest in all Natures Store , Never more Welcome , never wanted more : You that with Ulcers , Shankers , Nodes do lye , Long cannot Live , nor yet can easily Dye , With thy one Dose shall lay their Crutches by . Such wond'rous Vertue I have here in Store , That none before me ever could do more To Blind , to Lame , to Deaf , to Rich and Poor . You that through Ignorance or Interest be Incredulous to give Belief to me , Ransack the Hospitals , where you may find , Diseases of all sorts in Humane kind , That to your Eyes most apparent be , With Ulcers , rotten Bones , ( those ) bring to me , In Twelve days time their Cure shall perfect see . Gain-sayers Mouths ( then ) stop your Rage to spill , Or fear to speak one word of me that 's ill , When Demonstrations clear these Truths fulfil .

The Person is to be Spoken with , at the Two Blew-Balls in Leicester-Square .
