erection of the Yard These are the Symptoms that most frequently attend this Disease The Effects are many times the POX to which 't is somewhat related but is chiefly brought in by such as unskilfully attempt to cure the Disease whose practice it is without respect to their Patients health or their own credit with all speed to obstruct the issue at the Privities from whence the virulent matter immediately mounts into the liver and other principal parts where it infallibly vitiates the Bloud and confirms a POX that yeelds to no slight cure and sometimes from an ill managed Cure is left resident with the Patient an immedicable Gleeting and many are the mischiefs brought upon the Patient by ill-prepared Mercurial Medicaments c. I thought to have given you the causes of the POX and Gonorrhaea or Running of the Reins but the chief of them being already well enough known to proceed from Venereal embraces it would be a kinde of lost labour to insert them here Those who please may from my self have Imfallible Medicines and Directions for perfect and speedy cure of these Distempers According to promise in my other Books I am in This to give you some account concerning Worms which are a Vermin though but little regarded yet exceeding troublesome and very often most pernicious Of these creatures are several sorts but the most usual are shapeb round and long these are bred in the Gouts yet sometimes get into the Stomack The second sort are short and very small like threds and commonly lie in the Right-gut and in the end of the Fundament wherein is almost continual itching which worms also provoke the Patient very often to Stool The third sort are long and broad of an incredidle length but very rarely seen Worms are most caused from raw gross flegmatick matter and therefore youth and such as eat much fruit are seldom free from them Also all great Eaters are very subject to them especially those who eat meats that casily putrifie in the Stomack and more at once then Nature can well digest whence follow Crudities and thence worms the signes of which are many Some have unsavoury Belchings and a stinking breath wasting of the gums heaviness fainting great thirst vomiting cold sweats and often a Fever a short Cough unquiet sleep intolerable gnawing pain in the stomack and belly loss of appetite weakness and consumption of the whole body Many times the patient hath an insatiable appetite caused by flat Worms which devour the food that is eaten There are a few signes more of Worms but these being the most common and because I would not be too tedious shall say no more of the rest at present only thus much I shall adde that if worms be voided alive without other excrements in the beginning of a Disease 't is dangerous and signifies great Crudities and if voided dead signifies much putrefaction that has killed them which probably shortly after kills the patient In short 't is the opinion of our age grounded upon substantial proofs that worms and their effects have conducted more people to their graves than any one Distemper whatsoever And therefore you that suspect them in your selves make much of these Infallible PILLS as your most speedy help to prevent a Worm-eaten carcase and take them ere too late by which doing you will certainly prolong your days in ease and health and be obliged to thank your Adviser The Causes Symptoms Effects of Dropsies THe Dropsie Ascites is from abundance of water heaped up between the Peritonaeum or inner coat of the belly and bowels which infecting the mouth of the stomack doth bring great Thirst and often a Fever Sometimes it begins in the Feet and swells up wards to the Legs Thighs and Cods but at the same time the upper parts of the body usually consume The cause of this Dropsie may be from a cold distemper of the Liver which cannot make perfect bloud but flegm winde and water Sometimes a Dropsie may proceed from a Fever hot meats and too plentiful drinking of Wine whereby the Liver Spleen and Kidneys may lose part of their native heat and consequently their ability to attract the water and eject it by the Vreters The same may be caused from the natural Flux in women flowing too plentifully or from retention of the fame And drinking much cold water may diminish and disperse the native heat and by that means make way for a Dropsie The Dropsie Tympanites is from winde shut up in the cavitie of the Abdomen or belly and sometimes in the cavitie of the Gouts This winde is bred from crude thick flegmatick or Melancholy humours which by heat having motion and made thin become gross windie vapours This Dropsie is never of Winde alone but always mixt with water But the greatest part of this distemper proceeding from winde it is then always called a Tympany The Dropsie Anasarcais without controversie bred from a cold distemper of the Liver which hinders its Concoction from whence in stead of good bloud it disperseth flegmatick humours and causeth the whole body to swell A Dropsie may be also caused from all tumours or obstructions of the Liver much bleeding great evacuation by Stool Sweat c. Note All Dropsies are dangerous and hardly cured Yet the Dropsie Anasarca which is occasioned by Flegme spread over the whole body is easiest cured of the three but Ascites and Tympanites with much more difficulty Notwithstanding I here promise to the world that my Pills will perfectly cure the most dangerous Dropsie that man can have provided the Disease be medicable or curable Note That all the Symptoms afore-mentioned are seldome in all that have these Diseases at one and the same time except those in Dropsies but most are and some have more than these which should have been here inserted but brevity being intended and most suitable in this place I therefore judge what hath been already said sufficient to satisfie all reasenble persons in the true knowledge of their Disease if afflicted with either of these distempers There remains now something more to be said of those Excellent Pills before named of which briefly thus One whole Box thereof price but 6 s. is usually enough for perfect cure of either of the aforesaid Diseases except the Disease be contumacious and inveterate and then the person doth sometimes take a small quantity more which most certainly cures either of these Diseases and without the least danger of future relapse These Pills are also of most admirable use for such as have the POX Gonerrhaea or Running of the Reins and for such as formerly have had either of those Diseases and suspect an ill Cure or dread a Relapse And are likewise one of the most sure and speedy medicines that is or can be against the Green sickness and for such young women as want their Monthly Visits They are also excellent against Fits of the Mother and have a peculiar vertue against Barrenness if overloosness of
