THis Excellent Spirit ( for Chronical Distempers ) is not onely to be taken Spring and Fall but at all other convenient times , according to the several Distempers afflicting the Body of Man . If you be troubled with pains in the Shoulders , Knees , Ancles , or any other parts , let them be caused by the Scurvey , Foulness of Bloud , Great Colds or Surfeits ; be sure to take it three or four days successively , when you find the pains begin to be more violent than at other times ; as usually they will be more violent against Frost , Rain , or at a Thaw , after a great Frost : for then one Dose will work in all the parts and be more beneficial than double the quantity otherwise taken . Be sure to rub the place pained with some of my other Spirit night and morning , before you take the Purging Spirit : Rub it in well with a warm hand , and it will almost carry away any pain , though of a long standing . For Dropsie and Kings-Evil take it three or four dayes together in rainy weather , by reason all the humours are then afloat ; and causes the Spirit to have a more powerful operation : For no Medicine except taken at a seasonable time , can have that true operation upon Pains and Humours offending the Body . Being stopped close , it is subject to no decay , but remains good from age to age in extremity of Heat or Cold , without detriment to its Vertues or Operations . It hath been tried in several Voyages to the East and West-Indies , with great success upon Scorbutick Sea-men ; a small quantity having cured beyond expectation : And it hath proved very effectual for the curing these following Distempers in Virginia , New-England , and several other places there adjacent . It 's called by the Name of The Golden Spirit , for the colour and excellency of the Medicine , and requires no other commendation but its own Vertues to praise its worth .

FIrst , I commend it as a thing very beneficial for all persons that travel by Land or Sea , being of so small a bulk , that it s carried without any trouble , and is ready upon any occasion to relieve them in any sudden Distemper .

It effectually cures the Scurvey , carrying away its spots and pains in the Limbs ; taking it three or four dayes successively ( in open weather ) but if it work the next day , miss a day , and take it again , according to discretion ; seeing it 's impossible to make one Medicine to work with all sorts of Bodies alike , therefore begin at 40 Drops , and so you may increase to a 100 or more , adding 10 every day , according to your strength and constitution , thorow-out all these Diseases ; for 30 will work with one body more than 100 with another , according as their bodies are replenished with humours . In all these following Diseases you may take it in Old Malaga , White-wine , Ale or Mum , in what quantity you please , and in half an Ounce of any Syrrup . If for the Dropsie or Green Sickness , take a Draught of White-wine after , if you take it in Syrrup , otherwise drink what you please after it ; you may take from 40 to 100 Drops , and increase or decease , as you have a mind it should purge : you may drink an hour after warm Broth or Water gruel , if you can with conveniency ; not confining your self to house or diet .
