that reduces it from power to act so that it makes and drives the irradiation of its power and virtue all over it strengthens the Spirits and disingages them from the bonds of the Matter and causes them to act with more liberty And thus Nature finding her self strengthned and eas'd she drives out by the Emunctories that which annoy'd her sometimes by Sweats and by Urines and sometimes also by an insensible and mild Transpiration There is no wondering at the sudden operation of this Cordial for considering that it is composed but of things which are essencified it cannot chuse but produce sudden effects by reason of the subtil quick penetration of the Salts and Spirits which compose it which are all of them friends to our Nature which causes us to conclude that it is not onely healing but also preserving and a maintainer of present Health as well as it is able to restore that which is already altered We have nothing else to speak of now but of the proper and convenient time in which our Great Cordial ought to be fitly administred to receive thereof the succour which it is able to give and that is hoped for from it as also of the Dose proportion of weight and quantity of this noble Remedy be it taken simply for the entertaining and preservation of Health or that it be used for the recovery and restauration of the same Health when it is out of order and that its fine and pleasing Harmony is troubled and hindred which is none of the least considerable parts of this Discourse For it often happens almost always through the fault of an accustomed popular Errour that most persons take upon them to administer Remedies without sufficiency of skill to know the conveniency of Time the fit Dose and least of all the necessary disposition that is required to the Subject that is to receive the benefit of it Which causes many abuses and that the Remedy is blamed sometimes though the fault proceeds but from the want of a good and legitimate appropriation as is most learnedly observed by our Great Paracelsus in the Preface to the Tenth Book of his Archidoxes To prevent all these disorders it is not sufficient onely that the Remedies be well and duly prepared but it is also necessary for those that would reap benefit by them to know how they should be administred which belongs onely to the true Physician who knows not onely the sphere of the activity of the Remedy and of its Ingredients but besides this examines the disposition of the Subject in health or sick who is to receive it and makes those lawful and necessary reflexions which are to be done upon the time and dose according to the age sex temper native place and upon all the other circumstances which ought to make him conclude the application or suspension of the exhibition of the Remedy Therefore to find some Medium that may help to the want of skill of the one and to the presumption of the others we must give some general notes which may prevent failing when any will make use of our Cordial be it to preserve and maintain Health or to repair and restore it when it is altered or lost In the first place is to be considered whether the person be Costive or no because the retention of the Excrements does always cause some disturbance for they heat commonly the Liver and Spleen the Breast and Brains insomuch that if this Remedy be given before the Evacuation of these Excrements the disturbance and augmentation of the Heat doubtless will be attributed to the action of the Remedy although the true cause proceed from the retention of the Excrements Therefore it is most necessary gently to loosen the Belly of those to whom would be given essensified and volatilized Remedies that nothing may hinder their good effects It is to be considered in the second place whether those that would make use of this Remedy have their Stomach subject to sudden Alterations and to irregular Fermentations which do commonly cause Nauseousness Palpitations Sweats and Restlesness by reason of some sharp and malignant matters that sojourn and lurk in the bottom of the Ventricle In that case the Stomach must be cleansed and scour'd with a simple natural and gentle Vomit that the Insultations and Counter-times which these matters cause may not be attributed to the Remedy After these precautions our Great Cordial may be made use of in all seasons and for all sorts of persons of what sex or age soever provided one hath likewise at that time the counsel and direction of the learned Physicians and then will be tried those virtues and efficacy which this great and rare Remedy conceals in it self We shall not specifie here the general nor particular Diseases that it is able to combat and destroy since we have sufficiently discoursed of it when we gave the relation of the Ingredients which compose it which is sufficient to give an able instruction thereby to put it in practice and make use of it with benefit Its Dose is from six Grains to half a Dram as a Preservative and maintainer of Health and from half a Scruple or twelve Grains to a Dram or four Scruples when it concerns the Cure of those divers Diseases to which it is able to give help It may be given in all sorts of Wines in Broth in Posset in cordial Decoctions and in simple or compounded distilled Waters according to the palat of the healthful or sick person and according as the learned and experienced Physicians will judge it most convenient and necessary God grant that what we have done and said upon this Great and Admirable Cordial redound to the common good of all Sick persons and to the augmentation of the Glory and Splendour of rare Physick and lawful Pharmacy according to the most generous and most laudable Intentions of that Great and Generous Monarch who commanded me to make and perform this Noble Remedy Amen FINIS
