I. The QUEEN of HUNGARY's WATER , Rightly Prepared ; as it has been many Years experienced and continues approved by the Nobility and Gentry of England .

COncerning its Virtues I shall transcribe Her own Recommendations , viz. Anno 1511. in the City of Buda this Receipt was found in a Breviary that belonged to Elizabeth Queen of Hungary ; on the backside whereof [ being Translated ] this was written , viz. Of this Water of Life I Elizabeth Queen of Hungary , and Aged 27 years , very weak , Palsical and Gouty , did use this Receipt for one year , which an old Hermit gave me , whom I never saw before nor after ; and I was thereby wonderfully cured , and restored to my former Strength and Beauty , appearing to every body very Beautiful . insomuch that the King of Poland desired to Marry me , ( I being a Widow ) which I refused to doe for my Saviour Christs-sake , of whose Angel I believe I received this Medicine .

A noble Commendation ! And indeed Rosemary flowers , ( of which this Balsamick Liquor is compounded ) are full of Volatile Salt and Sulphur , two of the principal Agents of Nature ; but more especially when their Virtue is animated by the subtilty of the Spirit of Wine , which doth in a moment penetrate from the Center of the Stomach to the Circumference of the Body , and doth inspire Vigour into all the Functions of our Life .

't is found by Experience to be an admirable Restorer of decayed Memory , by bathing the Temples ; and by pouring a little into the Palm of the Hand , snuffing up the Nostrils the scent thereof very strongly , and doing it Morning and Evening ; and at the same time take half a Spoonful in a Glass of Beer or Ale , or in a Sack-glass full of fair Water sweetened with fine Sugar .

It may be made stronger tasted or weaker by adding more or less of the Liquor you take it in , according to every ones pallet . It also remedies Giddiness and other disaffects of the Brain ; and wonderfully strengthens the Sight by touching the Eye lids with it Morning and Evening , and at the same time bathe the Temples and the Nape of the Neck .

It corrects and amends an ill savouring Breath ; and strengthens the Stomach , amending any imperfections thereof ; as want of Appetite , bad Digestion , &c. vanquishing windy and unwholesome Vapours which annoy the Head and Heart , by taking half a Spoonful mixt as aforesaid last at Night , and first in the Morning , and at any other time when the Stomach is out of order .

Excellent for the Gripes . It speedily cures the Gripes by taking two spoonfuls in a pint of Ale ( made very warm before you put the Spirit into it ) and drink it off , and walk much upon it ; but if they be very violent , 't will be best to go to Bed upon it , and try to sleep , and when you awake drink a draught of Mace-Ale hot , and if there be occasion repeat the same quantity of Spirit again .

't is a powerful Antidote against the Pestilence , or any other Contagious Distempers , by taking a Spoonful every Morning and Evening mixed with such a quantity of fair Water and Sugar as is before directed .

Admirable for the Teeth and Gums . AND is one of the best Experimented Medicines yet known , to kill and vanquish the foul corroding humour in the Gums , which causeth rotten and loose Teeth , and wasting in the Gums ; by mixing three or four spoonfuls with thrice the quantity of fair Water ; which Balsamick Mixture you may keep in a Vial close stop'd ; And every Morning when you arise , gargle your Mouth with a little , and having so done , pour some into a Spoon , and dip either your Finger or a fine linnen-rag therein and rub well your Gums therewith ; and do the like at Bed time : It preserves the Teeth and Gums firm to old Age , and puts a stop to those already wasting . The constant use thereof not onely preserves the Teeth , but also prevents the Tooth-ach by dispersing the Cause .

't is an excellent Remedy for a Cough or Cold , by taking two Spoonfuls at Bed-time in a Glass of warm Ale with a spoonful of Fine Sugar dissolved therein ; and in the Morning bathe well the Temples and Nostrils .

It hath also excellent Effects by bathing outwardly any part Afflicted with pain or strain'd bruised or benummed .

't is admirable in vanquishing the pains of the Gout , by bathing Morning and Evening before the Fire with a warm hand , and oftner if the pain be violent ; in which Malady it has many times been experienced to the comfort of divers persons of Honour , and others ; as also of the shaking Palsie , by bathing the part often , and taking half a spoonful inwardly , mix'd as aforesaid Night and Morning ; and indeed it should always be taken inwardly , when you have any pains or stubborn Malady , for which you use it outwardly ; and let no man fear the vulgar Bug-bear ; that being a A pure volatil spirit from wine wholly divested of flegm and wholsomly diluted ( as is directed ) is more beneficial to the vitals than those sophisticated , mungrel , Brandy-like , Dulcified Spirits ; which harbour a foul stinking flegm injurious to Nature . subtile spirit it shall be too hot ; for being so qualified by mixing with water as is directed , it becomes an excellent well tempered Cordial , amicable to the Vital Spirits , and agreeable with the Balsam of Life : Nay , it is so Balsamick , as that it will speedily and safely heal a wound , by dropping some few drops thereon , and dipping a Bolster therein , and bind it on , as has been frequently proved : And takes away the smart of a burn or scald immediately , and fetcheth out the Fire ; not breaking the skin , presently applying a linnen rag dipt therein ; and bathing the part therewith , and often dipping the rag afresh during the first hour .

It strengthens Weak and Ricketty Limbs , and mollifieth and taketh down great and hard Bellies in Children , by bathing therewith before the Fire with a warm hand Morning and Evening ; whereby it hath restored many to strength and vigour , even to admiration .

Excellent to Beautify the Skin . LADIES may mix a spoonful in four spoonfuls of Bean-flower-water , or fair water , ( it will become slippery , and as white as Milk ) and wash their Face ; it 's admirable to clear and beautifie the Skin . And the said mixture being of a suppling , unctious quality , it continues the Face in a youthful complection , and removes Scurf or Morphew , and takes away Pimples by washing frequently with it , and comforts the Eyes by gently touching over the Eye-lids . It is put up and Sealed in strong Glasses of different Price , according to the quantity contain'd viz. 12d . 18d . or Half a Crown .

NOTE , that the Author Dissolves therein a quantity of the Essential Salt of Rosemary , whereby it is superior in Virtue to that commonly sold about the Town ; and the Spirit is also stronger , as may be proved by touching a spoonful with a lighted Paper , it will burn all away ; and moreover being loaded with the Essential , volatil Salt , it turns Beer , Ale , Wine , or fair Water into a milky-colour . Both which Symptoms you shall not find in that vulgarly Prepared .
