great bigness by reason of a cake of congealed flegm I had this Spring 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 vomitted and was loose and the vomitting continued for two dayes and every day came from her many Basons full of flegm and at the end she ceased both vomiting and looseness having voyded that which was the cause of her Distemper during all the time of her Illness she still continnued taking this Medi and now is happily rid of her Disease This Medicine is both a great cleanser and strengthner 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 Some years ago there came to me a woman big with Child whom her Husband had given a Clap and I did not onely cure her of it during her going with Child but also the Child so that when it was born it was as fine a Child as you shall see and did thrive as well for some years but I hear both the Mother and the Child dyed in the Visitation 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 onely 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 dayes after they sent me word that it had so broken the Stone that there had come away too spoonfuls of Sand every day for a long time and when there was no more left there was no more to be expected 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 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 they boch being broken before I knew it so that the Urine came forth there every time he made water and alwayes in making water he had a great smarting in that place after as well as before the irregular passage of the Urin 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 a 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 the 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 I confess I never tryed it against poysons but do verily believe it will most potently expell any sort of poysons it will so speedily remove peracute Diseases the Dropsie will flye before this Medicine for the Liver being freed from obstructions 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 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 the obstructions of the Bowels being removed the Distemper hath no place to lurk in I have had them that have had this distemper some years and then I ahve caused them to wear a Trusse and I shall alwayes choose a Steel-Trusse before any other it being well made and fitted 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 Now I shall direct how I alwayes 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 In the morning the quantity to a strong body threescore drops to a Child new born six drops to one of a year old ten drops of four years old twenty and to one of twelve years old forty alwayes observing that some are as strong at six years as others at ten and then the dose is to be according Those that take it against Infections need not take above twenty drops and only in the morning unless they go where infected people are and then it is necessary to take it as often as they come where danger is Sometimes it will be needful for those that have the infection If they take it out of order it will do no harm though but little good and have had it a day or two before they take it for them then to take it four times a day in the morning and at ten before noon and at four afternoon and at night Those that are taken either with Plurisie Quinsie or any other peracute Disease let them take it so soon as the Disease appears and if the first Dose doth not move it to their minds then let them take it again two hours after alwayes putting themselves into bed so soon as they have taken it and if they be dry let them drink as much drink as they will in reason desire but alwayes I forbid them small beer it being of a crude quality requires the more concoction and so hinders the operation of the Medicine but those that are not lovers of strong beer let them mix Sack with their small beer and they will find that the less quantity of drink will allay their dryness I omitted in my preparation to tell you that my Tartar that I make my Salt of is red according to Raymund Lulley in his Testamenta nova where he teaches the making of the Mercury of the Philosophers Now a word or two to my Brother Tyro let me advise thee when thou goest about any Chymical preparation first to learn to know the three-fold Salt in nature the three-fold Sulphur and the three fold Mercury and the sympathy and antipathy in them their separation and union and the cause of their not uniting the degrees of heat and cold required for their putrefaction understand these and then thou mayest be in hopes of accomplishing some part of thy desire for if thou failest in any of them thou wilt lose thy labour A word to those that take this Medicine be●o●e they take it let them seriously consider whether they can have patience in fix'd Diseases to continue the taking of it as in old settled Griefs will be required and if they cannot I desire them to let it alone if they will take it then let them in the first place desire a blessing from God on it and then questionless they shall obtain their desire and having obtained their desire let them return thanks to God for it alwayes concluding they that receive any thing of good and not giving thanks to God for it do but rob God For order in dyet let the Patient eat what is most agreeable to the Stomach The Archeusis is the best Schoolman in dyet alwayes observing that the Stomach better knows what will agree with it then the Doctor doth For perfume against infectious airs I alwayes had Red Saunders and Rosmary of each a like quantity and do approve it best as the one comforting the heart the other the Brain and this I prefer before that commonly made with Brimston and Niter which burn both Cloths and Hangings where ever it comes I could easily prove it Inimical to nature but I say no more lest Mr. Whiteaker raile against me as he doth against Van Helmont for speaking truth This Elixir truely prepared is to be had at this Authour's house in Crouched-Fryers near Tower-hill at the Sign of John Baptist Van Helmont the price of a whole Glass is five Shillings and a half Glass two Shillings six pence and at Mr. Radfords in Queen-street near the Blew Bell in Westminster-hall at Mr. Gavills the Sign of the Faulkon and at Mr. John Playford 's Shop in the Temple Sealed with the three Lyons Rampant and no where else
