THat Antient Philosopher Plato gives us a Proverb for imitation . A man that spins out his age idlely , and not distributing the gifts given him by God Almighty ; he ought to be expelled out of the vulgar Society of men , and unworthy of the Name : This saying having taken deep impression in my thoughts , I endeavoured to arrive by Gods blessing and my weak endeavours to the study o● Physick , to know what hath hitherto been hid to others , so that now I have obtained to some knowledge more than our Forefathers could boast on : I being able and experienced to cure all Persons that are bursten , either Men , Women , or Children , according to their different constitutions . Besides the several Diseases that I have cured in them Countries where I have Travelled , in High-Germany , Poland , France , Spain , and Italy , whereof I need not here particularize , there being so many that can testifie it .

Now the agreement that I make with every one is , that shall come to be cured for Bursten Bellies , or Ruptures . That no man shall give a farthing for my Medicines or pains till he hath been cured half a year . Let the Rupture or Bursten Belly be either Harnia Carnosa , Aquosa , Ventosa , Cerebalis , intestinalis , Inquinalis , Ramag Varicosus , vel Raminensius , vmblise , if you have had any of these Ruptures many years , as well Men , Women , or Children , I can help them going or standing , so that they may Travel by Land or by ●ater , without hin●ring of any business in what kind soever , because I help them without Cutting , or any thing inwardly , without any pain or danger to their body , which I do with applying somewhat outwardly , and rubbing of it on the Rupture or Bursten Belly , in such a manner that you shall be cured with little trouble . I shall not require one Farthing till they have been Cured half a year so well , as well those that live in the Country as in the City , only I shall require your Names and the places of your abode when the half year is expired . And then when you are Cured of your Rupture or Bursten Belly ; when the half year is past , then the Rich shall pay me Forty shillings , the meaner Thirty , the Poor Twenty . In this manner I will undertake to Cure you from your Distemper , let the Rupture or Bursten Belly be neyer so big .

☞ Note . If any Gentlewoman hath gotten a Rupture or any foul Venereal Distemper ; or is subject to Obstructions , and is ashamed to discover her Distemper to me ; they may speak to my Wife , and she shall relieve them very secretly .

Secondly , I do cure all Persons that have been at Venus Sports : That Disease hath many Symptoms , it lyes in the Head , Shoulders , Arms , and Legs , which Men have had a long time perhaps : also I do cure the Disease with all its attendants , which by reason that they may the better be understood , I shall na●● 〈◇〉 the French , Italian , Indian , High-dutch , or in English , the Sp●●● Pox , 〈◇〉 ●●atsoever can thereby arise , as pain in making Water , Runn●●g of the Re●●● , Shankers , or any Swelling , all which I do cure so privately that 〈◇〉 Wife cannot observe it in her Husband , nor the Husband by his Wife , and so perfectly that it shall never break out again .

And if any one live not here , they need not upon that account miss my assistance for I can send them such proper Medicines , as they may cure themselves .

I do also help such as have lost their seed , and make the spirit of married People rejoyce , being lost by what occasion soever , and cause them to be as sprightly as ever , this I can test●fie by a great many here in this Town .

And if there be any one so spoiled by the foul Disease as that he cannot go out , I have convenience in my House for them , to cure them in eighteenor twenty days without danger . If any one hath been in any strange place and suspects himself infected with any distemper , let him but come to me , or send me his true Urin , and I will again restore him to his former health , by cordial Medicines in which is no danger .

Therefore think not much to come to me where you shall certainly find your health , for I take away all sordid humours occasioned by the small Pox or French Disease , therefore tarry not too long till you are spoiled by other Practitioners , and then it will be worse to be cured .

This is sufficient for such as love their health , and such as have been tampering with other Practitioners , I shall certainly reduce to their former health , although they have been sweated , Fluxed , and lanced by other Doctors : I shall give you remedy by pleasant Medicines , that you your self shall wonder at it : some perchance may say these are but words , but I shall confirm them by actions .

If any one be troubled with the Cancer , either in their Nose , Breast , Arms , or any part about them , I have a certain remedy without Cutting , which none hath that remedy but my self .

I cou●● mention many more Effects and Operations that I have done ; but for brevity lake , and not to trouble the Reader too much , I have omitted them , being you may have my Advice at all times for nothing , and be informed of many Cures more , not men●ioned here ; as can be Attested by Eminent persons , that I have Cured , which were left by others , and now being the best time of the year . Neglect not your own health , since God ha●h been pleased to send a Means .

And if any one cannot come , let him but send his true Water or Urine , and he gives his Judgment to the best of his skill wherewith God hath endued him .

If any Person hath the Scurvy in the Mouth or blackish Teeth , I can clean them presently although they be as black as pitch , I can make them extraordinary white , such as have Teeth broken by other Masters , I can take them out withou pain to the Patient .

THis High German Doctor or Physitian , Oculist , Chirurgeon , and Rupture Master , Cornelius à Tilburgh , liveth at the Sign of the Sun in the Strand , at one Mr. Smiths a Boddice maker , over against the White Horse Tavern , between St. Clements Church , and the Maypole in the Strand ; there is an Entry joyning to the House , where any one may come privately to me . Who is to be spoken withal every day from Eight in the Morning till Ten at Night , where you shall see a Candle burning in a Lanthorn out of the Window every Night , 〈…〉
