The VIRTUES of COFFEE , CHOCOLETTE , and THEE or TEA , Experimentally known in this our Climate .
Of COFFEE .

THE Nature , Places and Manner of its Growth , and what it is , I shall not insist upon to acquaint you , as being too tedious , and for that it hath been already by several set forth ; but I have Observed , that in those Parts where they drink it at all times , as at Meals and otherwise , the Inhabitants are not subject to the Stone , Scurvey , Gout , Dropsie , nor many other Diseases which are incident to us here ; it being moderately warm , attenuating and dry , so that many crudities and crude Humors by the common use of this Drink are very much Corrected . And I find by Experience , that it hath taken also its good Effects in these our parts and Climate ; for it being drank at any time , dryeth up moist and waterish Humors , expelleth Wind , moderately binding and cleansing , it helpeth those that have the Dropsie by its drying quality , and is most excellent against that common Distemper : For by the constant drinking thereof it Cured a Learned Bishop of this Kingdom , who had been before left off as Incurable by some of the most ablest Physicians of England , ( by drinking thereof , as he was advised , with Sugar-candy ; ) it strengthneth much the Liver , helpeth the Jaundies , it 's good against the Corruption of the Blood , it refresheth the Heart and vitals , it helpeth Swooning , palpitation and weakness of the Heart , and dizziness in the Head , it strengthneth the Stomach , helpeth the want of Appetite , Concoction , and pains in the Stomach ; in the Brain it helpeth all cold , moist and drowsie distempers , as the Lethargy , Apoplexy , &c. the Steam is good for Rheums in the Eyes , and for pains and noise in the Ears , or dulness of Hearing ; it 's good against all moist Rheums , if the matter or Phlegm be thick , then sweeten it with Sugar-candy ; it 's good against Hypochondriack Winds , and the pains of the Spleen ; it purgeth by Urine , ( a good Drink for those that are troubled with the Stone in the Reins or the Bladder ; ) it 's experimentally good to prevent Miscarriage ; it 's good against the Gout , Sciatica , and for all Rheums and rheumatick Pains in the whole Body . Are any Surfeited with Drunkenness or Gluttony ? let this be their common Drink . Do any eat much Fruit ? let them drink much of this ; in the Spring time when Humors do increase make good use of this : As to the time of drinking it , at any time of the Day , unless within two or three Hours before going to Bed , for it hinders Sleep , but its Operation will not last above two or three Hours ; you may not fear any hurt by the due and moderate Use of it .

Of CHOCOLETTE .

IT 'S a great Cordial both for Aged people , Middle-aged and Young ; it nourisheth the Child in the Womb ; it 's a great Corroborator , and it doth not only warm and comfort the Coats of the Stomach , but it doth nourish and restore Nature where it is debilitated and depraved ; it is Hot and Moist in the second Degree , and by that Heat which is Moderate it doth in an Extraordinary manner help Digestion by its warm and strengthning Quality ; if a Man or Woman hath eat a full Meal , and are out of order for want of Digestion , let them take a Cup or two of this , and it shall by that Digestive faculty which is inherent in it carry it off without any more trouble . It hath been by the use of a Gentleman well experienced both in Physick and Chirurgery most admirable for inward Bruises , being given in place of Mummie , Sperma-ceti , Irish - Slate , &c. who was by the taking of it himself simply , as usually prepared in ordinary Houses , Cured , when having two of his Ribs broken , being at the same time above Fifty Years of age ; and further he saith , that the Virtues of the same Nut is a most Sovereign Medicine or rather Diet for all kind of Weak and Decayed Bodies , of what Age or Sex soever ; it hath many other Virtues which for brevities sake are omitted . For any man that doth Travel upon the Road , ( as such there are that cannot eat in the morning , ) let them but drink a Dish or two of this , and they may Travel by the strength of it many Miles . All which things are sufficiently known , and can be proved by many who now live in the City of London , to their own Experience , for above these Thirty Years .

Of THEE , or TEA .

IT 'S an Herb that groweth in China and Japonia , it is moderately Hot and binding ; this wholsome Herb preserveth in perfect Health till very Old age , it maketh the Body active and lusty , it helpeth Headach and heaviness thereof , Lippitude , Distillatious , and difficulty of Breathing , weakness of the Ventricle , pains of the Bowels , Lassitude , it is also good for the Stone , and for any sharp Rheums whatsoever .

The Reader may take notice , that there are many who pretend Skill , and do prepare both Coffee and Chocolette , but either for want of Judgement in compounding , buying of bad Commodities , or not being at the Charge for doing it well , do vend that which is false made up , and so the Operation hath not its proper Effect , which brings it under a disreputation . But if any man hath occasion for that which is good indeed , and really and truly prepared and compounded , let them repair to Samuel Price in Christ-Church Hospital , near Newgate-street , and they may be furnished with that which is Pure , and fit for use , of either Sort , upon his Word .
