any thing helpful to Nature But principally it is highly commended for those who have taken Surfets by Eating or Drinking For by its virtue it exonerates the Stomach from those nauseous humours lately received from that redundancy which humours by continuance a very few hours in the body kindle the flames of violent Fevers even to the subversion of Nature and loss of Life which too too many see and find by daily and woful experience all which calamities may be seasonably prevented by taking of this wholsome Medicine It is very profitable for those that want an Appetite and Digestion which indeed is the forerunner of many Diseases for a Failing Appetite and a Weak Digestion speaks the whole body distempered and gives certain notice of the pursuit of some furious disease Many carelesly neglecting these Diagnosticks precipitate themselves to their destruction Indeed it is a proper Medicine to be taken at the beginning of any manner of Disease for by its operative virtue it doth Diopilate the Stomach Liver Spleen and Mesentery and presently cleanseth them from those Impurities which being lodged in those official parts their Natural operation is presently hindred and the sad effects of insuing Diseases produced This Medicine being a perfect Catholick worketh impartially on each redundant humor and incountring with that enemie the Disease in the beginning before he hath intrencht himself gives him a repulse and forces him to flight indeed it is like little David to great Goliah It were fit to be preserved for use in all families that are careful of their health but especially for such as are remote from Physicians it may be taken at any time if the patient find himself suddenly surprized with the Symptomes of insuing Diseases The precedent symptomes are commonly these following An unusual pain in the Head unaccustomed passions and trembling of the Heart oppression and loathsomeness of the Stomach with a rare propensity to vomit also a griping in the Bowels pain in the Loynes or back with shivering Chillness or shaking with a sudden violent heat with slothfulness drowsiness and restlesness to the whole body I say when these or any of these Symptomes appear then know assuredly there is a storm coming then without delay take this Medicine It may likewise be given to Children if you find any of these Symptomes appearing on them But to such give not the powder in substance but that which is called the infusion of it which you must make thus Take the whole powder and let it lie in seven spoonfuls of white wine all night then strain the white wine from the powder through a three double cloth of the wch wine give the Child one spoonful in the morning fasting if the child be not above four years old but if a lusty Child and near eight or ten years of age you may then give the quantity of three spoonfuls rather less then more for if it should not work in an hour and a halfs time you may give another spoonful when you find it begins to work give now and then a draught of posset-drink Let not the Child stir abroad all that day nor sleep in four hours after taking the white wine To a Child of fourteen or sixteen years of age you may give four spoonfuls alwayes remembring to give rather a spoonful too little then one drop too much in regard you may increase the quantity when you please it were fit that one of these powders were alwayes kept in a viol full of white wine close stopt for it will keep a whole year being set now and then by the fire or in the Sun and then it is ready to be taken upon all occasions for twelve hours neglect may danger the loss of the Child if the Child be taken sick one day and neglect the Medicine till the next morning whilst the infusion is preparing withall remembring that Children take not the Pill The General Vse of this Medicine to Men Women is as followeth Take the Pill alwayes over night two hours after the eating of a light supper so go to rest next morning take the powder fasting in a stewed pruon pap of an Apple a piece of sweet butter or of honey the quantity of a hasle nut one hour after drink a draught of posset Ale and when it begins to work with you drink now and then a draught of the said Ale Sleep not in four hours after taking thereof neither stir out of your Chamber all that day about Noon eat some warm meat making but a light Meal And if it be needful you may take another pill and powder three dayes after in the same manner as aforesaid And if the patients body be Costive then 4 hours before you give the first pill give him or her a glister made onely with half a pint of pure Sallet oyle and half a pint of new milk So likewise the next day six or seven hours after the taking the powder give the same glister if the inflexibilitie of the humors have prevented the Medicine working downwards answerable to your expectation But this is notusual yet the first glister is Common But if you shall find any of the precedent Symptomes formerly spoken of appear then stay not till night or next morning but immediately go to Bed and as soon as you are warm there take the pill and within an hour after take the powder in order and manner as afore directed And withall remember the use of the glisters if your body be very Costive And if your body continue still in a distemper then the next day in the Evening take another pill and the next morning after another powder as afore prescribed not forgetting the Glisters aforesaid Be it likewise remembred that whereas each body hath its several constitution habit strength or weakness And therefore you must take notice that although the pill is to be given to men or women generally yet the whole quantity of Powder is not to be given to every patient but rather half the powder at a time to a tender body or else the greatest part of the infusion of the whole powder according to former direction for Children and if the Medicine whether the Powder or the infusion work not in an hour or two hours time then you may take the rest of the powder or infusion alwayes observing to take somewhat less then a grain exceeding the direction But withall if you expect a blessing upon these my weak but willing endeavours be mindfull of that wholesome direction delivered by a holy one which speaks thus My Son in thy sickness be not negligent but pray unto the Lord and he will make thee whole set thy whole endeavours on work to relinquish sin and to order thy hands aright and then give place to the Physician for the Lord hath created him I say expect not a blessing untill you fit your self for that blessing by repentance He that sinneth before his Maker let him fall into the hands of the Physician saith a holy One and know thou whosoever thou art that it s thy sin hath begot this punishment which makes thee stand in need of the Physician and assure thy self if this punishment this sickness be removed from thee before an appearance of hearty sorrow be manifested in thee for thy sin which occasioneth the same this punishment this sickness is removed but to try thee or to give way to a far greater affliction which will undoubtedly fall upon thee and that suddenly therefore if you desire not onely present but future comfort Begin now an amendment of life thou that hast by continual transgressions endeavoured to Crucifie again the Son of Life repent that your Sins may be put away which are the cause of all your present sufferings when the time of refreshings shall come from the presence of the Lord Act. 3.
