THE first of these , is our Great Stomach Pill , whose Primary intention , is the Relief and Support of that Noble Part ; And this it do's effectually , by carrying off from it , all such gross , foul , Putrid Humours , as Clog and Choke the Genuine Ferment of it ; Pervert and destroy the Concoctive Faculty ; vitiate the whole Mass of Blood , and Nutricious Juices , and cause innumerable Diseases , uneasy Life , and untimely Death . Now to prevent and Remedy all these , this noble Medecine is prepared , which caries off such supervacaneous Matter ; Rectifies the Ferment of the Stomach and Concoction , and Raiseth the very Foundation of Diseases , in order to a firm and lasting state of Health , and is therefore call'd the Stomach Pill . Notwithstanding which ; the Vertue of these Pills are not confind to the Stomach alone , for , being of fine and subtile Parts , They in their working through the Intestines , penetrate and open the obstructions of those obscure passages of the Bowells subservient to the Stomach , which are call'd by Anatomists , the first Ways , the Meseraic Veins , and those of the Mesentery , &c. through which the Chyle and whole Mass of Nourishment passeth , in order to the forming the Blood , and nourishing Juices , upon which the whole Body subsisteth ; most of which are of so fine a fabrick , that they are scarce discernable to the most curious Eye , and therefore obnoxious to such obstructions or stoppings , as cause a multitude of fatal Diseases , which would afford Matter for a Volume ; should I under take to write a History of them , which in truth , derive their original from the Stomach and ways so vitiated and perverted : For the Remedy and Rectifying of which , this excellent Pill is primarily adapted or fitted , with the utmost Industry and Art that can possibly be used : The operation of these Pills is after this maner , viz. If the Stomack be full and foul , they first unload it by a gentle Vomit or two , and then by easie and plentiful stools according to the Emergency of the Occasion : Thence in their passage they take along with them all gross matter that doth in any wise Obstruct or Stop up those Exile passages aforesaid , of the Lacteals , Mesentery , Liver , Spleen , &c. and leave them open and free for the Current of an untainted Chyle , pure Mass of Blood and Nourishing nervous Juice , which produce a firm and sound Constitution , and consequently an Easie and Healthy Life : Which as it is the just and proper Office of a good Medicine , so , it is of these Admirable Pills . The use of them is as followeth . The common Dose to an Ordinary or Midle constitution is six Pills , of which take two at Night going to Bed , and four the next Morning ; after the first Stool or vomit ( when they work that way ) drink a small draught of Posset drink or thin Broth , or other warm draught as you have convenience , and the like after every second or third Stool , eat nothing till noon , and then that which is of easy digestion . Strong Bodies may take Three at Night and Four or Five the next Morning : They who are of weaker Bodies may take One at Night and Three or Four the Morning following . Children of eight , ten or twelve years of age may take One at night and Two next day ; And you are to observe this rule : To begin with a smaller dose and increase the Number , as you find them most agreable to your sterength , and keep to That , which an easie observation will make familiar . I advise the first use of these Pills may be for three or four days , then twice a Week , and afterward once in a Week or Ten days , as you find occasion . Price 1 s . the Box .

The next Medicine is my Grand Antiscorbutick call'd Anima Cochleariae , or the Soul of Scurvy Grass : Being a Spirituous water drawn by Distillation from Scurvy Grass ; ( whence it hath its Name , ) and from other Hearbs and Materials , which in their Nature are most properly Apposite to the Cure of the Scurvy in all its Degrees and Symytoms . The Preparation of this Medicine is such , as , that all the Ingredients contain'd in It , are by a previous Fermentation , and other necessary Processes separated from all their Gross and Earthy substances , and thereby made very Subtile , Searching , Cleansing , Opening , Sweeting , and Strengthning . It powerfully Assails and Totally Vanquisheth this Reigning Disease , which Affects more or less , all Families , if not Persons . It entirely subdues its most Violent and Mortifying Symptoms , and renders the Whole Man , Vegete , Lively , and Active , which was before-Incumbered with a listless Heaviness , flying Pains , Aches , Soreness , and Universal indisposition of Body , sore Mouth and Gums , loose Teeth and Spots in divers Parts , and many other , which are so well known to all People of This and other Northern Nations , that I need not be larger in the Description of It. The use hereof is Easy and Pleasant : Drink an ordinary Wine Glass of It in the Morning fasting , use moderate Exercise , either Walking , Riding , or following accustomed business at home or abroad , or other that may warm the Blood in order to a Quick Motion and Cooperation with the Medicine : Take another Glass , about Four or Five of the clock in the Afternoon , or Three or Four hours distant from Dinner , after the same Order , and another , an hour or two after a Light Supper , or before Bed time . Purge once a Week with the Stomach Pills before mentioned , and I will confidently assure any Scorbutick Patients , that by the use hereof , after this order prescribed , or a few Weeks , that they shall find themselves wholy steed and deliver'd from that Uneasy and Troublesome companion the Scurvy .

Our third Remedy particularly respects the Breast and Lungs , and is of two Sorts , the One our Pulmoniack Lozenge the Other is our Alexiterial Balsamick Syrup . These in their Respective Operations doe effectually help all Infirmities of the Lungs , and Breathing Organs , which are Coughs , Phthysick , Asthma or dificult breathing , Wheasing , Inflation ( commonly call'd Rising of the Lights ) as also Excoriation or Soreness of the Trachaea Arteria or Wine-pipe , which often proceeds to Ulceration and Consumption , properly so call'd ( for every wasting of the Body is not properly call'd a Consumption , but that only which proceeds from the Lungs , the other is an Atrophie , as being the Effect of other Causes : ) As also Orthopnaea , or Streight Breathing , and Pertpneumonia , or Inflamation of the Lungs , which is still attended with a Feaver , and often a Pleurisie , which generally proves Faral . These with divers others which come under no denomination , are Diseases of the Lungs and Organs of Respiration , caused either by Sharp defluctions o● Rheum , or a Salt serous Catarh falling upon the Breast as aforesaid ; or else Cold , Stiff , Viscous Phlegm impacted in the Lobes of the Lung● which doe variously affect Them , according to the Quantity or Quality of the Matter Offending , and also according to the Nature or Condition of the Parts Receiving and Containing such present Matter fallen upon Them ; which being Graduated and Exasperated , by neglect of timely Remedies , cause a Weak and Languid Body , and generally a fatal Conclusion .

Note : That this Exellent Alexiterial Syrup is yet endued with more Vertues then are hither to mentioned , for beside it 's singular operation upon the Breast and Lungs ; It hath it 's Alexiterial Vertues in a high degree . It takes off the Violent Symptoms of the Small Pox , and Meazles , and being given before , or upon their coming out . It hugely assists Nature in this work , and makes them come out kindly . So also in all sorts of Feavers it is of Admirable use , throwing off the Malignity and Fury thereof , keeps off a Delirium , or Altenation of Mind , causeth moderate sweat abates thirst , and carries off by the Easiest operation i●… ginable , the whole Febrile Matter , and brings the Body to 〈◇〉 Pristine Temper . It also is a certain Cure for A●ues taken according to direction , which in Acute Diseases shall be particularly given to such as shall make use of this Excellent Medicine .

Furthermore , It is a present Remedy in the Griping of the Gutts , whether with , or without a Flux , as also in the most severe fitts of the Cholick , in these two you may depend upon this single Medicine for a certain Cure , never failing : Take it thus , First , take a Clyster , of a Pint of Posset drink , wherin a handful of Mallows and as much Camomile flowrs have been boyled and strain'd , to which put a quarter of a Pound of course Sugar , when it hath wrought , take two or three Spoonfuls of this Alexiterial Balsamick Syrop , in a small draught of clear Posset Drink go to Bed and lie still in a gentle breathing Sweat ( if it offers it self , ) and you will soon find Ease , and soon after Cure ; which , if it be not finished at the first dose ( as it seldom or never misseth ) take it again about six or eight hours after , and it will surely perfect it : The Price of the Lozenges is , a shilling the Paper of two ounces . The Alexiterial Balsamick Syrup , two shillings the Glass of four ounces .

Our fourth Medicine , is the Tincture of Mars , or Steel , a Medicine indeed ! which never till now made its Publique entry ; Though in my private Practise I have , in the tract of many Years ; had such high proofs , and demonstrations of its Vertues , that I never mett with or heard of , any that exceeded it . It doth Wonders in Diseases of Melancholy , and Hypochondriack Passions , tho to the degree of Madness . It gives a certain Cure in Convulsions , Fitts of the Mother , Spleen , and all Flatuosities , or Windiness , it is a Soveraign Remedy , and takes away the Original Cause of these Distempers . In all Female Sicknesses It hath scarce its Equal , for it opens all Obstructions of the Womb , and Hypogastrick Vessels , and both in Women and Virgins , it works such Essects , as where Nature is either too liberal , or too frugal in its benefits to the tender Sex , it reduceth those Extreams to Moderation ; after a singular maner : The use hereof is thus .

After three or four times Purging with our great Stomach Pill , and Bleeding where it is requisite , take fifteen or twenty Drops of our Tincture of Mars , aforesaid , in a Glass of White or Rhenish Wine in a Morning fasting , they who cannor afford themselves Wine , may take it in Beer , Ale , or other such Liquor that may be had , that is not too thin and small , use Exercise after it , Then about four or five , after Noon , repeat the same quantity , as in the Morning , use moderate Exercise , and take it again an hour or two before you go to Bed . Purge once a Week with our Pills , and by continuance of this Course for a few Weeks , you will find such Effects as shall answer your utmost desires .

These Medicines are but few ( four in all ) But ; their Vertues are so large and extensive , that they take in the whole series of Diseases ( generally speaking ) that infest Mankind , answering in all respects the whole Design of Medicine . And indeed , the whole Method of Practise used among the Physicians at this day , is comprehended within this narrow Circuit ; Whil'st that numerous and pompous Train of Waters , Electuaries , Apozems , Potions , Pills , Powders , Species , Extracts , Infusions , Decoctions , Elixyrs , Tincture , and Legions of others , have still but a tendency to the said end , and are at best but ( according to the usual Cant ) succedaneous , or rather circumstantial in respect of these , or of this kind ; and I may justly say Nauseous and Incongruous .
