Mr. Ben. Hope Mr. William Crawley and others having been cured by me above 16 years since and to this time remaining living Monuments to God's Praise of my Medicine 's virtues It is here very remarkable that this Hinde tho' stor'd with so great a stock of Confidence of the infallible Effects of his Never-Failling Drink yet he boggles at the publication of the Names and Places of Abode of such Patients of his as have been cured of any one Distemper by that this NEVER FAILING Cordialy or of the time or times when such Cure if any were m●de By which sinister and indirect practise of this Hinde it being observed that sundry People of most Ranks have been egregiously beguiled their Health indangered and my self injuriously abused AND tho' in the forenamed Tho.
