Thomas Saffold , an Approved and Licensed Physician , and Student in Astrology , still lives at the Black-Ball and Lilly's Head , next door to the Feather-shops that are within Black-Fryers Gate-way , which is over against Ludgate-Church , just by Ludgate , in London , who Resolves these Questions following , viz.

WHether any ones Life may be happy or unhappy . A person absent , if alive or dead , or when return . In what part of the World , City , or Country , is best to dwell in , or for any one to direct their Affairs to , thereby to live the more happily . Or if one shall be rich or poor , and if rich when , and by what means obtain it . Or if good to go the Journey intended , and when best to set out . Or the best-time to undertake any thing you would have prosper . Or if any Reports concerning Husbands , Wives , Friends , Ships at Sea , or other things , be true or false , or in what sense best to take them . Or if good to buy or hire the House or Land desired . Or if a Woman be with Child or no , and if with Child , whether it be Male or Female . Or if profit by Servants . He doth very seldom or never fail to give to any person diseased , a true account of the nature of any Disease afflicting , and part afflicted , and if curable or not , and if not curable , he will not take them in hand . Or if marry the person desired , if not the person desired , what like person , and the time when . Or if the Sweet-hearts or Wives portion be great or small , or if with ease or difficulty it may be obtained . Of Mony owing , if recoverable . Of Law-Suits who shall overcome . Or if good to go the Voyage intended . Or if one may obtain the Preferment desired , and when . Or whether a Friend be real . Of Enemies either secret or publick , who they are , and whether they shall have power to hurt . Or if one shall fall into the danger feared , or how best to escape it . These and all other Lawful Questions he Resolveth according to the Rules of Astrology , and 23 Years experience . Lastly , He Calculateth Nativities , and Teacheth the whole Art of Astrology .

The Sick may have Advice for Nothing ,

And of him good Medicines cheap , with directions how to use them , by which , and God's assistance , he is able to care any Disease , either inward , or outward , of what name or nature soever , if curable . He hath most incomparable Pills to cure the Scurvy , the best , or at least as good as any in being , which he will sell , with directions how to use them , at 1 s . 6 d . the half Box , and 3 s . the whole Box , containing 36 Pills . They may indifferent well be taken in any weather , but best in temperate weather , without hindrance of Business : And they will keep good some years , whereby they may be beneficial to such as live in the Country , or to Seamen that travel to Foreign Parts . They do not only cure the Scurvy , by opening obstructions of the Spleen , and purging melancholy humors from the Blood in every vein , but they purge Choler and Fleghm too , opens obstructions of the Liver , sweetens the Blood , and gives it its due Circulation . They cleanse the Breast , Stomach and Head of most Diseases that can afflict them . They open obstructions of the Womb in Women , and help them to the benefit of Nature , or monthly Purgations . They cleanse the Reins , and are as good a Purge in the Running of the Reins , or French-Pox , as any can be used , of which distemper he hath cured many with Privacy , without hindring of Business , in a little time , and for a small charge , when they have been spoiled , and almost undone by others , without Fluxing , or using of Mercury . With a pleasant Liquor for the same , at half a Crown the Bottle , which cureth all heat of Urine and pain in making water . Also the Scurvy , Dropsie , Ague , Stone and Gout , if curable , as well as the Disease in Fashion . His Pills cures as many Distempers as any Purging Medicine can ; and whosoever hath used them yet , have praised them , and I hope will do .

Saffold's Cordial Elixir is a great Easer and Curer of all kind of pains in any part of the Body , from head to foot . It helps to give the Blood its due Ci●culation , and is excellent against the Scurvy , and may be safely taken at any time , or in any weather , but best two hours before Breakfast , Dinner , and Supper , and oftner if need requires , 1 , 3 , or 5 spoonfuls at a time , which you find doth best agree with your Age and Constitution . To cure any sort of Ague , take this or his Ague-Pill an hour before the Fit cometh , and sweat upon it , nothing more safe to cause a good stomach , and brisk lively Complexion . It 's good to cure Women of all such Distempers as are not seemly to name in this Bill ; it 's prevalent in curing the Running of the Reins , and French Pox , which Distemper none cures sooner , few so well as him . In short , there is no Cordial nor Elixir made more uni●ersally good to cure ( with God's help ) any Disease in any nature ( if curable ) than his , which hinders no Business , and holds its full Vertue for many years . Try before you Judge ; Speak as you Find . He is to be spoken with from 8 in the Morning , till 10 at Night . A private Lodging may be had if desired . Beware you do not mistake his House , as some have done , another living near him , pretending to the same . His Cordial Elixir is Half a Crown the Half-pint Bottle , with directions in Print how to take it , or his best Pills and Diet-Drink . He knows some who are Knaves in Grain , And have more Gall and Spleen than Brain , Will ill reward his Skill and Pain .

And notwithstanding he ha●h practised Astrology above 23 years , and hath had the Bishop of London's Licence to practise Physick , ever since the 4th . day of September 1674. and hath , he thanks God for it , great Experience and wonderful Success in both those Arts , giving to doubtful People great satisfaction , and , by God's Blessing , cureth the Sick of any Age or Sex of any Distemper , though given over by others , and never so bad , ( if curable ; ) therefore let none despair of a Cure , but try him .

Yet some co●ceited Fools will ask how he came to be able to do such great Cures , and to soretel such stra●ge things , and to know how to make such rare and powerful Medicines as his best Pills , Elixir and Diet-Drinks are , and wherefore he doth publish the same in Print . Bu● he will answer such dark Animals thus : It hath so pleased God the King of Heaven , Being He to him hath Knowledge given , And in him there Can be no greater Sin , Than to hide his Talent in a Napkin . His Candle is Light , and He will not under A Bushel put it , Let the World wonder : Though he be traduced by such like Tools , As have Knaves Hearts lack Brains are Fools .
