The Virtues and Happy Effects of BATEMANs Famo●● SPIRITS of SCURVY-GRASS , both Plain and Golden , and particular CURES thereby performed .

THere is no doubt but Providence design'd that Excellent Medicinal Herb by us ( from its Virtues ) call'd SCURVY-GRASS , for a Specifick or peculiar and adequate Remedy against a cruel , and almost universal Disease , the Scurvy , and several other Distempers infesting the Inhabitants of these Northern Parts . But both Reason and Experience have caught , That the common way of infusing the crude Herb , and letting it lye to rot in Liqours , or taking the gross pounded Juice with all its Impurities , as in the vulgar Scurvy-grass-Ale and Beer , is ( by reason of the Earthy and Phlegmatick parts thereby received into the Body ) both navseous and prejudicial , Instead of being helpful to Nature . To prevent which inconveniencies these Noble Spirits were invented , where all the gross dreggy parts being seperated and cast off , nothing remains but the pure essential Virtues of this gallant Vegetable ; thereby becoming of far greater Efficacy to assist Nature , and meet with , subdue and expel the lurking Morbifick-matter , which occasions those Diseases . This is now so notorious , that few People but such as are stupidly ignorant , or unreasonably wilful , do any longer make use of the common Scurvy-Ale , but apply themselves to these more generous Spirits , which have given such eminent and singular proofs of their success .

The Plain Spirit .

Is Excellent to be taken frequently by way of Prevention , or where the Scorbutick Humour is not yet grown too strong and inveterate . It gives any Liquor a pleasing Taste , cheers the Spirits , warms and comforts the Stomach , and thereby creates a good Appetite , and helps Digestion : 't is a rare Remedy to sweeten and cure an offensive Breath : It prevents Worms in Children ; it cuts , attenuates , and dissolves Phlegm and Crudities , contracted by large Suppers , or over-drinking , and helps those that are troubled with Wind , Vapours , and sower Belchings : It cuts off and disperses the Causes of Scurvy , Dropsies , and many other Diseases in the bud , and is a grand preserver of Health , if often used . Many People never drink their Mornings draught without it , and find great benefit : You may take thirty or forty drops in half a pint of Beer , Ale , Cider , or other Liquor , at any time , an hour or more before or after Meals ; but the Morning is the most proper Season .

The Golden Spirit .

Is used when the Scurvey is radicated and become dangerous , and where Purging is necessary ; to which purpose it is impregnated with choice Ingredients , most friendly to Nature . 't is also an excellent and Sovereign Medicine in the Dropsy , Gout , Stone , and Gravel , Melancholly , Green-sickness , and several other Diseases , as in the particular Directions for its Use , is truly and more at large set forth .

Several Remarkable Cures which have been wrought by these Spirits .

Jacob Wise of Rumsey in Hampshire , had a dreadful Breaking out in Pimples over all his Body , which being scratched , a Watery honour would issue forth ; and a wet Cloath clapt to his Stomach in Winter would reak as if it had been dipt in the a boyling Kertls ; yet before he had taken one Glass of this Spirit , his Flesh became like the Flesh of a young Child .

Attested by himself .

Edward Levesedge of Kilmington in Somersetshire , who being afflicted with a long continued Scurvy , and a dropsical Humour , whereby Nature was so weakned , and his Legs and Arms swell'd to such a prodigious Bigness , that he was not able to stand or go ; yet by taking but four Bottles of this Spirit , he was perfectly cured .

Attested by himself .

☞ John Hellard in the Town of Tounton , St. Mary Magdalen in the County of Somerset , Serge-weaver , being very Sick and Weak , and troubled with a mighty Swelling in his Legs and Thighs , so that he was unable either to Walk or Stand without extremity of Pain . About the latter end of January last , took one Bottle of the Purging Spirit , and in six days time his Swelling left him , his Strength , and Stomack , and Vigour , were wonderfully restored ; and now enjoys that measure and degree of Health , as before ; for which he desires to give God the Glory , and put 〈…〉 to this incomparable Remedy , so that others may be incouraged hereby ( when need requires ) to use the same . Attested by Mr. Simon Babb Bookseller in Taunton , March 1 1693 / 4.

Many other Remarkable Cures I could recite , would this Paper contain them ; and might show , that they are in great Esteem with very able Physicians , as the Learned Dr. Dyke near Taunton , who desired his Name may be made use of as highly approving of them , and likewise several other great Physicians .

These Famous Spirits were first publisht by Mr. Robert Bateman 19 or 20 years ago ; tho since counterfeited by divers Upstarts , who not one of them knew the Right Preparation , as was evident to any that tried and compared their Trash with his true and genuine Spirits . But ever since , and now truly and faithfully prepared by John Hooker , at his House in St. Paul's Chain , as formerly .

☞ The Balsamick , Or Health-Procuring and Preserving Pill , prevents and gives ease to all Aches , Twinging Pains , and other Distempers of the Head : Removing the Causes of Lethargies , Apoplexies , Epilepsies , Palsies , Convulsions and Distillations of Sharp Humours upon the Lungs ; Eradicates the Causes of Gout and Scurvey , and is an Excellent Companion for Sea-faring People . Which Pill is also only Prepared by John Hooker aforesaid ; where it may be had , either Six Pills for Eightpence , or Nine for One Shilling , Seal'd up in Tin Boxes : And at the Places here under-mention'd .
