An Abstract of a Letter from Richard Carter Distil●er at Chichester .

Doctor ,

THese are to acquaint thee with a remarkable Cure that hath been lately performed with thy Pills , upon the Daughter of Edmund Stevens of the Parish of Appledrum , near this City ; she hath been extremely afflicted with tormenting pains in her Stomach and Bowels , and many times in all her limbs , with great weakness in all parts of her body , seeming to be in a Consumptive condition , very much loatbing her meat , not being in a capacity to eat with her Father and Mother at their Table in several years ; much hath been spent upon Physicians and in Physick for her Cure , but all in vain ; and she continuing in this sad condition from seven years old , to the age of seventeen years , caused her Relations to despair of ever getting help for her ; yet notwithstanding all seeming unlikeliness of her recovery , she is perfectly cured with taking thy Pills and hath continued in good health ever since last Spring ; and this will be testified to any that shall enquire , by her Father and Mother ( who are credible persons ) and who also desired me to give thee this account ; I might also inform thee of several others , but having no order for it by those cured , shall say no more at present , but rest

Chichester the 19th of the 11th Moneth , 1677. Thy Friend Rich . Carter .

I shall now according to promise in the Title give you the chief signs of the Scurvy ,

Which are , Giddiness in the head , sudden Flushings , Heat , and Redness in the face , and body , putri●action and stinking of the Gums , Tooth-ach , Stinking-Breath , Blackness and Looseness of the Teeth , want of Digestion , much Wind and unsavory Belchings , and by thick Vapours arising from the HYPOCHONDRIA to the Midriff , are occasioned obstructions of respiration or shortness of Breath , and straitness of the Breast , &c. the body is dull and heavy , and in the Legs are spots , sometimes red , yellow , purple , black or blue ; there are also violent pains in the head , Shoulders , Arms , Fingers , Belly , Thight , Knees , Legs , Ankles , Feet and Toes , other signs of the Scurvy are bad sleep , and frightful dreams , a feverish heat and sweats towards the morning ; some have risings on their bodies , as if stung with Nettles Bees or Wasps , &c. these are the most usual signs of the Scurvy . Though note , every one in this Disease , hath not all these signs at once , but some have more , and some fewer of them .

Withal observe , and you will find there are very few afflicted with any Distemper of long continuance , who have not joyned with it a scorbutick taint , which unless it be considered , and some powerful antiscorbutick medicament given , the Patient is very rarely , if ever Cured .

Therefore in long continued or lingering diseases , let a speedy recourse be had to my Pill , as your only Remedy , wherein will be certainly found such thorow help and satisfaction , that all persons in any degree afflicted with the Scurvy , or other curable distemper , will esteem it ( for recovery of health ) the only Jewel of the World .

So that against this very Disease , the Scurvy ( as well , as for cure of such other distempers as come within the reach or power of Physick to remove ; ) you have here offered you the most tryed and approved Medicine of this Kingdom , which also operates in its Cure of each Disease , with all the ease , gentleness , safety , and speed imaginable , first carrying off , only the offending matter , and then adding health and vigour to the diseased and weakned body .

All which forementioned vertues , and very many more have been truly ascribed to this excellent and most soveraign . Medicine , by many knowing and learned men , as well Physicians as others , and by such as have been of Noble Families , which I have to shew under hand and seal , who , upon a thorow tryal and experience of it , have candidly acknowledged , ( in right of my Medicine ) that for Cure of the most difficult and dangerous distempers , no Medicine ye● found out , hath proved comparable to

Bromfield's Pills .

A more particular , large , and satisfactory account of their great Cures , you will have in the book delivered gratis with them , in which also are very plain and full directions for the manner of taking them .
