that was in a deep Melancholy that if he saw any one laugh would be very angry alwayes he desired this Medicine after he had once take of it though he had others by I have cured many Melancholy people but by the taking this Medicine when the obstructions opened he broke so much wind backwards that the neighbour at the next house wondred what noise that was and after that he was cured in a little time That Disease the Seamen call the Belly-ake which in the West-Indies kills so many brave men for want of help had they with them but a small Glass of this they might be thereby preserved for it would quickly remove that intollerable pain and send the cause forth at the back-dore There is no Medicine in the world will sute better with those that go long Voyages to Sea especially into hot Counteys for let them carry it to what part of the world they will and keep the Glass close stopped it shall not lose any thing of its virtues for neither the heat of the Summer nor coldest frost that is will take any more impression on it then on a stone That which will not preserve it self cannot preserve another All sorts of Fluxes is by this Medicine cured sometimes a Looseness and Vomiting is cause by reason of Worms which is always accompanyed with much Flegm this Medicine breaks the bed of Worms and leaves the Patient fully recovered though few but have therewith a strong Feaver which is cured also There is a Disease which is called Lupus Phlegmaton but by many foolishly taken for the Dropsie Tympanities the Belly being swelled to a great bigness by reason of congealed flegm I have a Gentlewoman of near 50 years in this Distemper and taking this Medicine three weeks or a month found little alteration but then did begin to be loose voiding much flegm the next day she vomited and was loose and the vomiting continued for two days and every day came from her many Basons full of flegm and at the end ceased both vomiting and looseness having voided that which was the cause of her Distemper during all the time of her Illness she still continued taking this Medicine and now happily rid of her Disease This Medicine is both a great clenser and strengthener of the Spermatick Vessels in men or women thereby begetting fruitfulness in both Sexes for it doth search every corner of the body and cast forth what ever is offensive to nature The difficulty of making water doth arise from several causes as from wind from the stone and from a slimy matter furring that passage of the Urine and sometimes by a carnosity of the three first I have had experience and find them easily helped by this Medicine the Stone only desires a long time for the breaking and yet I sent some five years ago this Medicine to a Person of quality and in Fourteen days after they sent me word that it had so broken the stone that there had come away two spoonfuls of Sand every day for a long time Now whether this was the Stone in the Kidneys or Bladder I know not for the Patient was a hundred Miles from me but this I do not question but it will as well reach reach the Bladder as the Reins for I once applyed it to a person that had an Ulcer in the neck of the Bladder a man of near fifty years old there was a tumor betwixt the Scrotum and the Fundament the botch being broke before I knew it so that the Urine came forth there every time he made water and always in making water he had a great smarting in that place after as well as before the irregular passage of the Urine was stopped yet I could find no Medicine that he found so much good by but in short time he was by this perfectly cured without the least obstruction in making water although it brought away much mattery substance during the time any thing of corruption remained there The symptoms by which you may know the Ulcer in the Bladder or the neck of the same are pricking pain after making water in the end of the yard in men and in woman in the passage of Urin sometimes there comes away a mattery substance with the Urin sometimes like hairs will appear in Urin sometimes both sometimes a smarting in making of water and when there is nothing of the Venereal Disease when these symptoms appear then you may conclude there is an Ulcer either in the Bladder or in the Neck of the same and in outward Ague-sores I have seen its effects for being taken inwardly without ever applying any thing outwardly but a scorch'd rag the sores have run till the matter hath been fully taken away and they have healed of their own accord the Patient taking this Medicine daily till they were fully healed after hath continued well many years and I question not but most sores may be so healed and the most venomest of Ulcers Cancers c. may be made by the taking of it more apt to heal for as they do proceed from a venomous humour so this Medicine doth expel the greatest of venoms For when I have been by accident in Mineral fumes that will poyson any man to continue in I have taken no other Antidote against them The Dropsie will fly before this Medicine for the Liver being freed from obstructions and and the Urinary-passage nature will do the rest unless it be accompanyed with a Consumption and then there is but small hopes of a cure The Piles a distemper much following Melancholy people and oftentimes that sort called the blind Piles which alwayes with a vehement pain and burning as though fire was in the place by the taking of this Medicine it doth much mitigate the pain and by degrees takes it fully away but doth not fully stop the bleeding Piles for that is the sink of the body and would be much injurious Ruptures called Broken Bellies which proceed from wind or water this Medicine doth speedily take away A Rupture is a wind in the lower Bowels causing an extention of the Peritonaeum and in men and boys the Bowels extending the Kall so that they fall into the Scrotum or Cod and obstructions of the Bowels being removed the Distemper hath no place to lurk in But what need I spend so much time and paper in mentioning particulars since there is no Disease that I have met with but this Medicine will cure for I find that the obstructions being opened and the parts strengthened there can remain not any thing of a Disease in any part of the body I have given half a spoonful in peracute diseases advise to giverather more than the dose Now I shall direct how I always order the taking of it my advice is to take it Night and Morning in a glass of Sack and fast one hour after but not longer The quantity to a strong body threescore drops to a Child new born six
