The Vertue of the COFFEE Drink . First publiquely made and sold in England , by Pasqua Rosee .

THE Grain or Berry called Coffee , groweth upon little Trees , only in the Deserts of Arabia .

It is brought from thence , and drunk generally throughout all the Grand Seigniors Dominions .

It is a simple innocent thing , composed into a Drink , by being dryed in an Oven , and ground to Powder , and boiled up with Spring water , and about half a pint of it to be drunk , fasting an hour before , and not Eating an hour after , and to be taken as hot as possibly can be endured ; the which will never fetch the skin off the mouth , or raise any Blisters , by reason of that Heat .

The Turks drink at meals and other times , is usually Water , and their Dyet consists much of Fruit ; the Crudities whereof are very much corrected by this Drink .

T●●●●…ality of this Drink is cold and Dry ; and though it be a 〈…〉 neither heats , nor inflames more then hot Posset .

〈…〉 ●●th the Orifice of the Stomack , and fortifies the heat with●●● 〈…〉 good to help digestion and therefore of great use to be 〈…〉 a Clock a 〈…〉 the morning .

〈…〉 ●●●…ens the Sprits , and makes the Heart Lightsome . 〈…〉 ●●fore Eys , and the better if you hold your Head 〈…〉 ●he Steem that way .

It suppresseth Fumes exceedingly , and therefore good against the Head-ach , and will very much stop any Defluxion of Rheums , that distil from the Head upon the Stomach , and so prevent and help Consumptions ; and the Cough of the Lungs .

It is excellent to prevent and cure the Dropsy , Goat , and Scurvy .

It is known by experience to be better then any other Drying Drink for People in years , or Children that have any running humors upon them , as the Kings Evil. &c.

It is very good to prevent Mis-carryings in Child-bearing Women .

It is a most excellent Remedy against the Spleen , Hypocondriack Winds , or the like .

It will prevent Drowsiness , and make one fit for busines , if one have occasion to Watch ; and therefore you are not to Drink of it after Supper , unless you intend to be watchful , for it will hinder sleep for 3 or 4 hours .

It is observed that in Turkey , where this is generally drunk , that they are not trobled with the Stone , Gout , Dropsie , or Scurvey , and that their Skins are exceeding cleer and white .

It is neither Laxative nor Restringent .

Made and Sold in St. Michaels Alley in Cornhill , by Pasqua Rosee , at the Signe of his own Head .
