A friendly and seasonable Advertisement concerning the Dog-days , by Nath . Merry Philo-Chim .

IN regard there are many that perish in and about this City , &c. through an evil Custom , arising from a false Opinion , That it is not safe to take Physick in the Extreams of Heat and Cold , or in the Dog days ; and some exclude Old People , Women with-child and Little Children , from the use of Medicine ; which is as much as to say , That God hath ordained no Medicine for such Times and such Ages , which would be absurd to imagine , seeing we know there is no Time , Age , nor Disease , exempted from proper , homogenial , and eff●ctual Means ( with Gods blessing ) only against Death there is no Medicine , the time of which to us i● uncertain . From the aforesaid Mistakes many labour under the tyranny of their Diseases , till the Catastrophe end in Death ( before the time come which they have alotted for their Cure ) which might by timely and suitable Remedies be prevented . It 's granted pro confesso , that there is a sort of Dogmatical Medicines that is unfit to be exhibited in those times , and are not innocent at any time , being impregnated with venemous beams , which by their virulent hostility invade the Vital Oeconomy of the Body . But you may have Archeal or Vital Medicines , truly adapted for all times ; being divested of their Crudities and Heterogene Qualities , by a true separation of the Pure from the Impure , and impregnated with beams of Light , which give their influence and refreshing glances upon the Vital Faculties , expels Venoms , alters Ferments ; co-unites with Nature and reunites its powers to their due Oeconomy : and such Medicines being most natural and most powerful in the most deplorable Diseases , being timely taken are most effectual , and are no more to be omitted at any time than Foods ; and are altogether as safe . Such Medicines I have alwayes by me faithfully prepared by my own hands . which you may have of me at reasonable rates , at the Star in Bow-lane , next door but one to the Half Moon Court . My hours are from 8 in the Morning till 6 in the Evening .
