The
Great
and
Wonderful
Success
and
Vertues
of
CLARK's
Compound
SPIRITS
of
Scurvey-Grass
(
both
Golden
and
Plain
)
in
Curing
many
Languishing
and
Grievous
Distempers
.
Faithfully
prepared
(
by
his
Widow
)
according
to
his
own
Directions
.
TIS
now
some
Years
since
Mr.
Clark
first
Exposed
this
Excellent
Medicine
to
Sale
;
and
(
Blessed
be
God
)
it
has
Largely
Answered
the
End
for
which
it
was
design'd
,
Viz
.
The
Health
and
Welfare
of
his
Countreymen
.
The
Admirable
Vertues
of
these
Compound
Spirits
,
and
that
Universal
Welcome
they
Meet
with
in
the
World
,
occasion'd
many
Counterfeits
to
be
publish'd
,
but
their
Shams
were
quickly
detected
:
And
whereas
they
hoped
to
mend
their
Credits
by
Lessening
mine
,
they
did
but
present
to
the
view
of
all
honest
Men
,
their
own
Ignorance
and
Malicious
Folly
.
't
is
a
Divine
Maxim
,
That
every
Tree
is
known
by
its
Fruit
:
So
the
surest
Way
whereby
to
judge
of
the
Vertues
and
Intrinsick
Worth
of
Medicines
,
is
,
by
observing
the
great
Effects
that
are
Wrought
by
them
,
and
the
Famous
Cures
they
perform
.
Therefore
to
demonstrate
the
singular
Vertues
and
Efficacy
of
these
Spirits
,
I
here
Nominated
some
Remarkable
Cures
performed
by
them
,
on
the
Bodies
of
several
Persons
,
whose
Names
and

Upstarts

none

knew

right
and
true
Preparation
.
And
though
it
hath
pleased
the
Almighty
to
take
to
himself
the
said
Mr.

and
to

he
Communicated
the
True
Preparation
,
and
to
no
other
besides
;
And
sinding
his
Continuance
to
be
not
long
in
this
World
it
was
his
Earnest
Entreaty
and
Desire
,
That
She
would
Continue
Preparing
