Advertisements to avoid being Deceived . READER ,

WHereas about Four Months last past there was published a little Paper in these following words , viz. The Rich may command , be bowed unto and flattered for reward ; but the Poor may intreat and be rebuked with a scornful look : therefore these are to give notice to all that are poor in City or Countrey , that are either Sick or Lame , may under God have Cure of the worst of Diseases curable for nothing ; if they repair to the Sun in Gutter-lane near Cheapside , London , &c. yet nothing without God . Since which there hath been many wonderful Cures performed by a Chymical Powder , called , The Metallick Eagle ; the which Medicine and Cures hath given great cause of Admiration , and brought great resort to the place and person aforesaid : Now so it is , Some Practicioners of Physick and others , in hope to advance their reputation and mercinary profits , do pretend to have the same Medicine of their own preparation . Some of which persons I could name , but shall forbear , until I find them farther to persist , &c. But I do assure all persons that none of these pretenders have or can have this Medicine , unless they buy it of me , as some do ; the secret having yet not been made known to two persons in the world besides my self ; neither is it of that light moment , to be made common ; for I believe there is not the like Medicine extant ; unless the Grand Medicine of the Philosophers , and I know not any that dares to pretend to have obtained that as yet . Thus I thought good to warn the innocent and detect the presumptuous , that the world , as now it is 〈…〉 may no longer be deceived or imposed upon .

Farewel , your Friend R. F. Philalethes .
