A46872	A brief discourse of the stomach and parts subservient unto it of the generating of blood and humors, their degenerating into diseases, how and by what means they are wrought up in the body. Set forth in a dialogue between a physician and a countrey-man his patie made so plain and easie, that any one may know so much of his own strength and constitution, as to judge of his state of health, and tendency to sickness, and be able to help himself therein, in order to which, is subjoyned an account of that incompatable extractum pareton, or, extract of universal vertue and sufficiency, in the cure of most, but especially chronical diseases, incident to men and women. Prepared by the art and industry of Edward Jewel.	Jewel, Edward.	1678 (1678)	Wing J732B; ESTC R216573	7,929	11

in Virgins it is call'd the Green sickness wherein the Legsswell the Spleen is obstructed windiness and crudities abound and the complexion decayes and a multitude of evil Symptoms afflict that Sex Hence also proceeds the Gout Rhewmatismes Sciatica all afflictions of the Joynts and indeed there is no disease that afflicts humane Bodies but may be ascribed to the default and violation of the faculties of the principal Parts appointed for Nourishment 〈…〉 And though I should discourse to you all the Causes Signs and Symptoms of every particular disease which would but toil your Memory it would at last resolve into those Principles Patient Sir you have given me great satisfaction and prevented me in a Query I was about to make concerning the difference of the Scurvey from other diseases which it so much resembles in some of its Symptoms but being resolved of that I desire you to resolve me also how the Venerial disease is bred and propagated in the body Physician The POX is a disease which indeed comes not immediately from the causes before treated of but from an Infection taken by unclean Copulation upon which the venomous Contagion swiftly penetrates and enters both the solid and fluid parts of the Body seizing the Flesh Nerves Membranes Ligaments and Tendons and even the Bones and Marrow giving its poisonous taint to the Noble Parts before-mentioned vitiates all their faculties and by that means are the blood and humors infected and the whole body miserably diseased and according to their predisposi●ion it makes various appearances as Running in the Reins Sharpnesse of Vrine Carnosuies Nodes on the Scull Armes and Shin-bones sharp Pains in the Limbs which invade the sick still at night in bed and hinder his rest Also Gums or hard knots in the flesh Likewise Shankers and Warts in the Privities Fiery Pustules and sanious malignant Vlcers hard to be Cured and spread Scabs and Itch upon the Skin eating Vlcers in the Mouth and Throat which eat through the Palate and Nose These and many other symptomes attend this loathsom disease but all these are not at once in all bodies but are more or less according to the difference of constitutions and preparation of humors so that you see that this disease comes not immediately from these causes but after Infection is by them propagated and carried on to these extreams Patient Sir there is one thing yet remains and I shall give you no further trouble at this time and that is how to apply my self to a Remedy in these Cases when occasion offers Physician As I have given you general Grounds and Rules for the right understanding and tracing these Affects and Effects to their Causes and Original so I have taken care to provide a general Antidote and sufficient Medicine which is judiciously contrived and exquisitely prepared as well to prevent the growth of diseases as to Cure and perfectly expel them when the Body labours under any of them if you or any one takes the like care to take it in time whilst the disease is yet Curable and that is this Noble and most powerful Extract Call'd PANARETON from that universal Vertue and Efficacy it hath in the Cure of diseases for first of all it cleanseth the Stomach and takes away those tough clammy humors which cleave unto it and hinder its faculty of concoction it restores the enfeebled Appetite and mightily strengthens digestion Passing thence into the Entrails it draws out from the veins all superabundant corrupt matter which is apt to intermix it self with the nourishment it strengthens the Liver and opens the obstructions of it and the Spleen and sets them free from all viscous thick humors which may any way hinder the proper and just distribution of nourishment to all the parts and carries them all off by stools and plentiful Urine and performs this with so much ease and pleasure to the Patient th●t whereas some strong violent Medicines subdue the Powers and vigour of the body by forcing away more humour then is prepared this on the contrary only attends the spontaneous endeavors of Nature and is as all Physick ought to be its Friend and Handmaid strengthens and promotes its expu●sive faculty refresheth and enlivens the whole body and renders it universally able and ready in the right and due performance of all its functions Besides it hath a peculiar property in the Cure of the Scurvey and Dropsey expelling all those acid sour salt humors which do so sharply assault and oppress the sensible parts and draws from the remoter parts such as stick fast to the Muscles Membrans and Nerves and takes away all dulness stiffness and indisposition and other symptoms which proceed from thence it carries away by Urine and stools that serous watery matter which causeth the Dropsey strengthning the Liver and other parts so as to prevent its return for the future which is equally necessary Moreover it contains in it the true Antidote for the Venerial Disease expels its venom and infectious quality draws it away from all the remotest parts of the body and perfectly discharges it In a word this one Medicine if timely used answers all the Requests and Exigencies of oppressed Nature and disposeth the Body to a lasting state of Health This Extract for the better convenience of the Patient is made up into Pills of which you or any one may take four five or six more or less according to the strength of the Patient Take them at night going to bed and they will begin to work the next Morring but they who are easie to be wrong 〈◊〉 and may be surprised in the Night may take them after their first sleep and sleep after them but when they begin to work 'T is more profitable to forbear sleeping but rather wise and walk for then Motion conduceth more to their beneficial Operation if they work five or six times a day it is enough and the Patient may proportion their Dose accordingly they are safely used at any time of the year if need require and their Vertues are Equal at all times the Composition being so exact that they keep entire for many years They are also taken with great Profit by Sea-faring People who by eating salted Meats are subject to the Scurvey And also those who live near the Sea and in Aguish Places for they are a great Preservative against both Ague and Scurvey and will Cure both In Agues they are to be taken an hour before the Fit and in three or four times they seldom fail ☜ Furthermore take this Observation to your great benefit That if you take two or three days every Fortnight before the Full and Change of the Moon they Preserve the Body free from Customary Diseases for the Moon hath a great Domination or Rule over moist Bodies and then the Humors are stirring and most subject to take the Impression of Diseases especially those of the Head the Brain being the most moist part is subject to very many Distempers and to the ●●●laence of the Moon particularly And therefore these Pills are a great Treasure for any Family or Person being a present Refuge to such as are suddenly taken with any Illness They are put up in Tin Boxes two dozen in every Box which is to be sold for 2 sh 6 d.
