Ingage

Venereal
Pleasures
;
and
then
through
Shame
,
want
of
Conveniency
,
Tenderness
of
Reputation
;

otherwise
,
through
Terror
of
undergoing
the
many
Cruel
,
Loathsome
,
Tormenting
wayes
of
Cures
generally
Used

As
also
,
the
many
Deplorable
Accidents
happening
many
times
between
Man
and
Wife

,
and
Child
,
to
the
Ruin
of
themselves
and
Off-spring
,
&c.
by
Protracting

Dissembling
this

hath
Extorted

these
little
Pills
every

,
as

SUch
is
the
excellency
of
these
Antipudendagrian
Pills
,
that
they
only
work
agreeable
to
nature
,
as
it
is
dispos'd
,
exceeding
gently
by
Sweat
,
Urine
,
and
Stool
,
(
so
as
none
need
hinder
their
occasions
,
keeping
but
warm
when
they
take
them
)
dissolving
,
destroying
,
and
evacuating
all
fermented
,
putrid
humours
,
and
matter
,
throughout
all
the
parts
of
the
body
,
purifying
the
whole
body
and
humours
,
in
such
manner
,
as
all
Swellings
,
Pustles
,
Sores
,
or
Ulcers
,
resolve
,
cleans
,
dries
,
and
heals
,
by
the
benefit
of
nature
,
being
kept
clean
.
They
open
all
obstructions
of
the
Liver
,
Spleen
,
Womb
,
Reins
,
&c.
So
,
as
for
above
this
12.
Years
experience
of
them
in
Europe
and
India
,
hath
been
Cured
most
effectually
,
not
only
this
most
grand
Evil
,
the
French
Disease
,
and
Virulent
Running
of
the
Reins
,
(
which
is
one
and
the
same
Disease
,
as
is
declared
in
the
Chapters
of
Signes
of
the
French
Disease
)
but
also
all
Diseases
arizing
of
Putrefaction
,
Fermentation
,
or
Obstruction
(
if
curable
)
as
the
Scurvy
,
Green-sickness
,
all
Diseases
of
Wormes
which
proceed
of
Putrefaction
.

,
and
Cure
of
the
French-Disease
.
THis
name
,
Pudendagra
,
or
Genital
Contagion
,
I
presume
,
is
most
genuine
being
of
the
place
of
it
's
Nativity
,
and
the
same
I
always
met
withal
in
the
Indies
,
in
their
Languages
:
From
whence
I
conceive
it
first
Navigated
by
some
trusty
Trogians
in
Columbus
his
time
,
Linscho
.
History
,
the
East
and
West
Indies

Europe

where
as
Linschotin
does
relate
it
,
is
called
by
the
Tovoupinam
Boultiers
Piaus
.

Then
that
all
may
know
this
American
Neapolitan
,
fascistious
Monsieur
,
ab
Origine
,
by
its
definition
,
cause
,
and
manner
of
infecting
,
whereby
to
avoid
it
,
as
others
by
its
signs
admonished
to
seek
its
present
remedy
.
It
is
a
venemous
fermental
infection
of
the
whole
Substance
(
alias
formality
)
of
the
body
,
for
the
most
part
gotten
by
contagious
Vapours
.
Miasms
,
seizing
and
flowing
through
the
Pores
,
into
the
liquid
and
solid
parts
of
the
Genitals
,
and
thence
dispersing
into
the
several
parts
of
the
whole
Body
.
By
most
Authors
,
Fernel
parius
.
conceived
originally
to
arise
of
occult
causes
,
(
none
as
yet
declaring
how
)
but
by
God's
just
Judgment
punishing
humane
frailty
;
or
rather
,
I
conceive
permissive
just
Judgment
punishing
inhumane
beastiality
,
or
both
.
But
by
some
,
Fior
avantus
.
supposed
from
the
putrefaction
of
Seed
,
or
humors
in
the
Womb
of
an
Anthropophagian
Curtizan
,
generated
from
aliment
of
devoured
mans
flesh
.
But
if
the
nature
thereof
be
truly
considered
,
the
formal
faculty
of
parts
,
and
the
difference
betwixt
Firmentation
,
and
Putrefaction
,
&c.
Then
I
cannot
from
thence
conceive
any
reason
for
its
production
.
By
others
,
Wallaeus
.
from
the
property
of
the
Amboyne
Water
,
and
Aire
.
But
I
rather
conceive
the
infection
was
transported
thither
,
as
hither
;
the
Spaniards
making
their
Voyages
from
West-India
thither
.
By
others
,
by
Fascination
,
Fernel
.
as
may
be
,
possibly
,
by
Diabolical
preternatural
meanes
.
By
others
,
Paul
of
●●idleb
.
Paracel
.
by
a
siderial
rape
of
Astral
influences
.
By
others
by
a
Lepers
accompanying
with
a
Noble
Curtezan
in
Spain
,
Foresius
.
&c.
But
I
rather
,
as
most
rational
,
and
probably
true
,
Authors
Opinion
.
(
though
a
paradox
)
conceive
its
original
production
,
not
from
any
of
the
above
said
or
occult
causes
(
considering
the
distinction
betwixt
life
,
which
is
light
,
and
by
the
inherent
power
of
the
spirit
of
God
therein
,
the
life
of
all
things
,
(
except
Man
,
who
lives
by
a
Superior
only
,
viz.
his
Soul
)
and
Form
,
which
is
but
a
product
thereof
in
every
kind
;
otherwise
how
could
it
remain
after
death
of
the
compound
,
which
is
a
deprivation
of
life
,
the
effects
remaining
until
the
resolution
of
the
Body
into
matter
,
to
the
production
of
new
forms
thereof
.
As
also
the
formal
faculties
of
parts
;
And
the
difference
betwixt
Fermentation
,
in
which
is
a
promotion
of
Form
;
and
Putrefaction
,
in
which
is
a
solution
of
forms
.
)
But
from
a
Ferment
of
Seed
of
a
Creature
wholly
different
in
kind
,
and
formally
repugnant
to
humane
formality
,
in
the
Womb
of
a
most
impious
Diabolical
American
,
and
thence
communicated
to
posterity
in
Coition
by
contagious
Miasms
proceeding
thereof
,
Vapours
.
insinuating
through
the
Pores
,
into
the
liquid
and
solid
parts
of
the
Genitals
,
and
commixing
with
their
excrementitious
humors
,
and
thence
through
their
formal
activity
,
by
access
of
native
heat
and
spirits
,
according
to
the
malignity
of
the
received
Contagion
,
the
Bodies

,
Cacochymie
,
or
Eucrassie
,
more
or
less
infecting
the
whole
Body
,
and
in
that
state
rendering
such
alike
infectious
to
most
persons
,
that
in
any
kind
either
lye
with
them
,
immediatly
succeed
them
on
a
Close-stool
,
suck
,
or
sucle
,
or
any
ways
happen
to
communicate
of
any
contagious
pollutions
from
them
.
And
is
most
truly
cured
by
this

specifick
Antidote
(

energically

and
insensibly

POST-SCRIPT

MAny
approbations
of
the
excellent
Cures
done
by
these
Pills
;
did
not
the
indissolvable
obligation
of
secresie
deny
,
might
be
instanced
:
yet
something
thereof
in
India
upon
the
Inhabitants
,
I
may
presume
to
declare
,
being
my
experience
there
.
Having
the
principallest
Grandees
of
the
Country
,
in
the
Isle
of
Celebes
at
Maccassar
,
my
Patients
,
I
was
sent
for
by
Crayn
Summanna
,
the
King's
Uncle
,
(
whom
before
I
had
cured
of
a
Cancer
)
to
a
Buggise
King
,
Highland
.
who
had
an
Ulcer
on
the
right
Scapula
,
the
which
,
with
no
great
difficulty
,
I
cured
,
and
as
I
supposed
,
took
my
Ultimum
Vale
of
him
.
But
about
seven
Dayes
after
,
God
save
you
.
I
was
saluted
from
him
with
a
Tabya
,
and
great
complaint
of
an
extraordinary
itching
,
at
some
distance
round
about
the
siccatrize
,
with
a
pain
and
swelling
in
the
Groyns
,
nocturnal
disturbances
,
frontall
extuberances
tending
to
exulceration
Feaverish
heat
,
and
driness
of
the
palmes
of
the
Hands
,
&c.
And
the
next
Day
importuned
to
give
him
a
Visit
;
with
whom
,
upon
a
strict
inquiry
in
