Nothing without God : Performed by John Choke , ( approved Physician ; and farther , Priviledged by his Majesty ) ; or , in his absence , by Clement Blewton and John Bemston , Students in Physick .

ELixir Capitalis totius mundi ; vel Nepenthe Authoritica ; or , the only Elixir in the World , for the thorow-Cure of the GOUT , Dropsie , Agues of all sorts , as Tertian , Quartan , and Quotidian ; the Stone , Falling-Sickness , Scurvey , Cholick ; Plurisie without Bleeding : All these Diseases we Cure Infallibly ( by the Assistance of God ) in a very short time , taking away the Cause in such a manner , as that the Patient may never doubt of a Relapse into the same Distemper .

I am sensible that the Vulgar will not admit that there is any Cure for the GOUT : neither have they Reason , seeing there have been so many Pretenders which come short . It is an Arcane which I had in Germany , from the Famous and most Learned Baptista Van-Helmont , of worthy Memory ( whose Daughter I Wedded ) and whose Praescripts most Physicians follow . This Elixir extracts from all parts of the Patient's body , those crude and viscous humours , which are the occasion of the GOUT in general , as Arthritis ; or in particular , as either Chiragra , Genogra , Sciatica , or Podagra . If there be any amongst you , willing to be freed from that Malignant distemper , ( by the assistance of God ) you shall receive a perfect Cure in very few days ; first , by applying a Balm , being an External Topick , or Application , which gives ease to the violency of the Gout-pains in two hours , to the satisfaction and ease of the Patient , and admiration of Spectators ; thwarthing that opinionated falsity Nodosam nescit medicina curare podagram .

I am not yet throughly resolved , whether to come down , or not ; but , in the mean time , have thought fit to send down Mr. Clement Blewton , and Mr. John Bemston , Students in Physick , whom I have instructed in my way of practice , & do make use of my Medicines . Thomas Odored , Esq. Deceased ( was also of my instructing ) who was so Famous in Curing the GOUT , and many other Distempers Chronick ; unto whom his Majesty recommended a Patient of the Falling-Sickness , adding , that he was perswaded he could Cure him , and there followed an admirable Cure in one days Administration of Medicines : Of this , and several other miraculous Cures , there is a Book in Print , which is no idle Pamphlet , but Dedicated to the most Reverend Father in God , Gilbert , by Divine Providence , Lord Arch-Bishop of Canterbury . He used no other Medicines but what I taught him in Chymistry .

I could treat particularly of each Disease , and its symptoms , but am unwilling to burthen the Reader : We have several specifical Medicins for Diseases of the Eyes , Head , Stomack , Jaundies , Feavers , Morbum-Gallicum , Consumptions , Griping of the Guts , Surfets , Melancholy , Spleen , Rickets in Children , Green-sickness , Fits of the Mother ; with all Diseases incident to Women ; present ease to Tooth ach , without drawing ; Gonorrhaea , and weakness in the back , with other Diseases curable . We have Pills , both good and cheap , for purging the blood , fortifying the body against Distempers & ill Air , restoring the Spirits of those which decline by hard-drinking and Night-watching , which occasions Surfets , Dropsies , and many other Distempers ; obtains a good Stomack where Appetite is lost . I could mention many more Virtues , but , for brevity , shall omit them , being you may have advice at any time ; this being a good time of the year , neglect not your Health , since God hath been pleased to send a means .

It 's needless to declare my Forrain-actions , and the many thousand Cures I have perfected in London . I Cured the Duke of Buckingham of an Ague , when all Physicians had left him : In a word , my Cures have been so many and wonderful , that his Majesty was pleased to send for me , and as a mark of his Royal Pleasure , gave me his Authority to practise in any of his Dominions , without any Controle . We are not come for Lucre of Gain , but , our opinion of doing Good to the Poor as well as others , was not the least motive that brought us hither ; & since we are come down , thought it requisite to disperse a few of these Advertisements for the particular Informations of such as esteem their Health . If you bring a true relation of the Sick person's Indisposition , or his true Water , you may have proper Medicines for the Cure ; we have so much Reputation that we shall not undertake more than we can Cure : As for the Poor , such as are Relieved by the Parish , if they come in season , we shall as readily assist them for Charity , as the Rich for Money .

The two Persons , aforesaid , do Administer my Medicines according to my Directions : I Live my self in the Strand , London ; but you that are near this Town , need not give your selves farther trouble , but repair to the 〈…〉 in 〈…〉 where my Friends have Medicines , and instructed to perform any Cures , as well , as though I were present , in every particular : They may be spoken with , any hour of the day 〈…〉 at the aforesaid place , where you shall find some of these Advertisements sticked up at the Door .

God save the King .
