IF there be any Preheminence , if any Excellence in any one thing in its kind , to make it distinguishable from others , it must needs consist in the Communicative Good , Vertue and General Usefulness thereof , which ( to the ingenuous and unprejudic'd Reader ) will plainly appear to be true of this Noble Medicine . My PILL , being by two Grand Qualifications deservedly preferred before others .

The First of which is that , which is call'd by our Greek Authors {αβγδ} ; that is to say , A Working by Election or Choice of Matter , by separating , dividing and carrying off such , ( and only such ) Humours , as being either superfluous , do oppress and indispose the Body , or else being vicious and corrupt , do mix with the Blood , and sweet Nourishing Juices , or Humors thereof , putrifie and corrupt them also , and make them prone to run into infinite sorts of Diseases , of which we see every year produce new ones , And we at this day by sad Experience find the truth hereof , in the Loss of many Lives , both in City and Countrey , both which suffer under the Contagion of a strange , put id and malignant Feaver ; To prevent which , it were both safe and necessary for every one who is yet in Health , to take some Doses of my Pills , which if taken before Infection prevents it ; so also it doth where the Small Pox , Measles , or other Malignant Diseases do infest any Town or Place . This I I say is the one Qualification of my Pills , that they do after a most admirable manner separate and draw away those Humours , which are prepared to form Diseases , and by that means do Radically Cure them .

The other Qualification of this Great Medicine , resteth in the due , Measure of its Working , for therein it holds such a Proportion with the strength of the Body , that it never hazards an Hypercatharsis or over-Working , but effectually prepares and draws together all superfluous humours , and such as are corrupted and putrid , and carries rhem gently off , without Griping or other churlish Working , leaving the Body refreshed and disposed to a lasting state of Health . These are the two Eminent Qualifications of my Pills , and such they are ! as shall not only serve this present Age , but recommend them to the good and benefit of those which are to come .

But after this General Account I have given of this Noble Medicine , my Pills , I now come to be more particular , and to let you know how they make their Progress through the Body . First , They cleanse the Stomach , which ( as it is design'd by God and Nature , to Concoct the Food , and distribute Nourishment to the whole Body , so ) by the Power and Faculties thereof , being hurt and depraved , is the Fountain of most Diseases , which annoy and in time destroy it ; For it carries off all its Crucities , and vicious , tough , clammy and waterish Humors , with which it is loaden and stuff'd , and by which many sore Diseases are caused , as Obstructions , Flushings , windy Belchings , Fumes , Head ach , Surfeits , Griping in the Guts , Vomiting , Loosness , Fainting Loss of Appetite & a multitude of others which would be too tedious to mention , and leave the Stomach mightily strengthned , and in good order .

When it hath wrought effectually in the Stomach , it passeth ( with its Vertue ) into the Bowels , cleanseth the Liver , Spleen , Gall , Mesentery , takes away their Obstructions , empties them of all Superfluities , and strengthens their Faculties . By this means , it excellently Cures all sorts of the Dropscy , gently , by degrees and with safety , discharging the Belly and other parts of that serous watery humour which affects them : Thus it helps the Scurvey , purging away those salt , briny , melancholy , sharp humours , which so universally indispose the Body . For a more large Description whereof , I refer you to my Book , which shall be Given given with my Pills . So also they help the Jaundies of both sorts , Cholick , Melancholy , Sighing , Pains in the Sids and Back , windy Vapours , difficult Breathing , and others which depend on these Parts ; Hence it proceeding through the small Guts , draws from the Reins , Ureters , Bladder , Womb and seminal Vessels , all viscous or slimy matter , which causeth Gravel and Stone , Strangury or Diabetes . Also the Malign Humors , which affect the Seminal and Generative Parts . For , beside its Sufficiencie to help in all other Weaknesses in those Parts .

They have a peculiar Property in Curing the Run● of the Reins , though highly virulent ; And when it is Heightned into the POX , it Cures that too ; For these Pills contain in them the true Antidote against the POX , and do with great Ease and Efficacie dissolve and draw away the Malignide thereof , and seldom or never fails to Cure its most inveterate Symptomes ; Provided the Patient have strength and vigour enough left to cooperate with the Medicine ; But here is Required more then ordinary diligence in Attending the Cure , both in constant takeing the Pills , and observing a slender ( but wholesom ) Diet during the Cure .

They are to be taken at Night going to Bed , and Work the next Morning ; Begin with Four or Five , and use more or fewer , as you find them agreeable to your strength ; You may swallow them in beer , Ale , Apple Pap , or any other thing greateful to your Palate , and the next day go abroad about your Occasions . A more particular Account is Given of them in a Book which is Given with the Pills , which are put up in Tin Boxes , two Dozen in every Box ; And Seal'd with the Crest of my Coat of Armes , being An Eagles Head Eras'd .
