WHILST the Scurvey was yet but a stranger in this Nation ; whilst it Visited only some sorts of People , as Sea-faring Persons , the Inhabitants of the Sea-Coasts , and those whose inconvenient ways of living made them subject to it ; whilst the Symptoms were yet more tolerable and confin'd , the Signes plain and apparent , and Physicians not puzled to find out variety of Medicines to Cure it : It was then that this Noble Herb call'd Cochlearia , or Spoonwort , from its Shape and Figure ; Changed its Name , and was call'd Scurvey-Grass , from a peculiar and specifick Quality which was found in it to Cure this Disease which the People used diversly according to their necessity or fancy . But no Preparation of it was found so commodious and useful as the Spirits drawn from this Herb , which proved to be of the greatest benefit of any then found out . But when the Scurvey begun to spread it self abroad , when it began to Rage , and seize all sorts of People in all places , with violent , malignant and even deadly Symptoms , that neither these Spirits , nor any ordinary Medicine could check its fierceness , much less Cure it . It was then that the Physicians Wisdom and Skill appeared , in finding out Medicines more active and effectual , and such as might totally vanquish and subdue this dangerous and deadly Foe to Mankind ; And when the Single Spirit of Scurvey-Grass was found too weak to do this great business it was by the great care of the Physician enriched and strengthned , by the Addition of many more powerful and specifick Materials , and was made the only sufficient Remedy to make a perfect Cure of this malignant and Reigning Disease , call'd , The Scurvey . This is that Noble Spirit , which from the Hand of this great Artist above mentioned , I do offer to all who at this day suffer under the Scurvey , be the symptoms greater or less . And in truth , Reader , you may herein rest secure of the most safe and certain Remedy in the World ; which ( as it is the highest Antidote against the Scurvey , so it ) is a most excellent Medicine 〈…〉 It Cures the Dropsey even to a wonder , it opens all Obstructions whatsoever , it gives wonderful Relief to the Stomach , quickning the dull Appetite , and helps the Digestion and Concoction of the Victuals : It helps Virgins , who through stoppings have lost their colour , and restores the lost Complexion ; It expelleth Wind , suppresseth Vapours , helps the Pain and dulness of the Head , exhales all Catarrhs and Rheums , helps Rheumatism and Gout , and also Pains in the Joynts , Griping in the Guts . And to be short , it clenseth and sweetens the whole Mass of the Blood , and suffers no matter to reside therein , from whence Diseases may arise ; And preserves the Body in entire and perfect Health , to those who use it constantly and with Temperance ; It is to be taken in some good Liquors , such are Beer , Ale , Wine , Mum , or the like . But not in Coffee , Tea , or such Drinks as are taken so hot , for the Spirit being fine and subtil , the purer part of it vanisheth in the stream before it can be drank off ; It is equally useful at all seasons of the year ; for though the Spring and Fall are the usual times for Medicine , yet these Spirits are no less beneficial at other times ; for as in the Winter they warm the stomach , and give the blood a brisk motion , so in the Summer they keep in the Spirits and natural Heat , which are apt to suffer by the Heat of the Weather , especially upon the least Exercise . A larger Account of this , as also of the Golden Laxaeive Spirit , and its use , shall be given in the Printed Papers of Directions given with each Bottle .
