are not the dearest but the cheapest of Physick Besides as never any harm could justly be imputed to any of them so were they never known to fail of Cure where time proportionable to the constitution of the body and to the quality and degree of the Distemper hath been allowed and Directions followed accordingly But where Distemper hath taken fast hold upon a body over worn with toyl care and business aggravated by omission of timely medicines and then tyred out nay confounded with intricate and unwholesome Physick and from one sort of Medicine to another until the Medicines have proved more mischievous and more inveterate then the first Disease for Patients in such difficult Cases as these to think a moneths time or so sufficient for recovery failing of their hopes rather taxes their own reason then the validity of the Medicines And yet even in such forlorn undertakings I have in very few days seen so great and so good an alteration that had it not been destroyed by too much presuming thereupon and thereby taking cold anew and so loosing all that was gained There was sufficient to give assurance that time and perseverance in their plenteous use would have perfected their work all after deviations from this course of Physick and these Medicines never bringing the Patient to so good a condition Nor did I ever know them laid aside for any others but there was cause to wish they had not left them But if ever it is in such cases as these that this saying is verified That there are some who will be sick too late and well too soon And makes me think of divers unhappy Patients when I mind that saying He found no steadfastness no not in his Angels Very few in inveterate cases being apt upon utmost perswasive arments to give a tenth part of time requisite or having resolved to do it that wil be constant for half the time And this not always from an instability in the Patient but most unhappily from the odd officious Medlings of Visitants and Relations who though wholly void of true judgment in Physick or in the differences between what is and what is not to be trusted to are ever censuring the present proceedings and proposing one while this another while that boasting up this and commending another as having speedily cured divers in like cases with very small charge A sort of friendship might very well be spared and should a little more then it doth touch the Consciences of all such well meaning disturbers if not destroyers of these whom yet with all their hearts they earnestly desire should be preserved affectionate and zealous errors being always most mischievous For my part I can clearly affirm that I never gave the smallest quantity of those my Medicines to any person in any case but I heartily wisht it might prove a perfect Cure And it is an absolute truth that very many in a year have been cured of such Distempers some for the value of 6 d. some 12 d. and sometimes a very little more that probably in any other way could not have escaped a tedious fit of sickness or a chargable course of Physick and I am never more joyed then when it is so Yet this doth not argue that every one that falls ill should expect always the like success there being so vast a difference in Constitutions and in the nature of Diseases in neglect of the instant use of means and a while deferring as alters the Case beyond imagination and which unavoidably enforces as great a difference in the difficulty and time of recovery But then how Exceedingly much more doth the Case differ when the Disease hath been of many years continuance and so many various Physicks used time after time that it is very presumable some of it may have been venomous and infinitely added to the malice of the Disease Though in such Case I should not despair of prevailing in this way of safe and powerful Medicines yet I should blame my self excessively should I give any hope of success but upon an absolute promise from such patients of perseverance for at least so many Moneths if not twice the number as they have been years afflicted and admit the charge of such a condescension should amount to 10 nay 20 Crowns a moneth which I suppose would be the most what a small thing were this to persons of means and quality to adventure in a course so safe and withal so hopeful and after hundreds if not thousands of pounds spent in vain in ways neither so safe nor rational and in such hands as I am sure to gain the world would not defer a Cure one moment That Instance in the Touch-stone of Physick Of the Gentlwoman that was left hopeless by all her Physitians after a long time of using their utmost Endeavours and she brought to nothing but skin and bones and her Disease triumphing over her weakness when her sad Husband came to me desiring my assistance had he scrupulously enquired whether I had ever cured any one in so hopeless a condition or endeavoured to have confined me to time or been solicitous in what time I thought some hopes might appear or where about the charge of her Cure might be It is very like I had never undertaken her as abhorring nothing more then such huckstering in cases of sickness where there is ability But he leaving all wholly to me though by reason of some relapse it was some moneths before she went abroad yet both he and she were fully satisfied with all that was done and God blest it to her wonderful recovery All which I have thus Expressed if possible to make all persons concern'd sensible how great a difference there may be in Distempers seemingly alike and how much more time may be requisite for recovery of one more then another And to work them to a willing resignation of themselves to whomsoever they shall think meet to trust and without scruple or repining either at Time or Charge stedfastly to persevree especially being engaged in a way so safe and with Medicines so kindly and withal so powerful as here are solely intended and which by the Marks foregoing may easily be tryed and proved whether they are so or not but being such there is all Encouragement imaginable to persist with hope and chearfulness Withal the Patient must be sure both in his Diet and shunning all hazards to be helpful to his Physitian and most careful to observe all Directions Cautions and Circumstances advised that being the only way to make the best of what is taken and to keep and not loose the smallest degree of improvement obtained for those who get and keep ground though but by inches are sure in the end of victory But without resolving to persist in their use whether they are governed by Patients themselves or their relations on their behalf or by Physitians I would not encourage any to begin with any of these Medicines It being my manner always to

for cutting off the Hair Capping and Plaistering the Head they are all but troublesome Operations to the sick very seldom proving successful either in Consumptions or for removal of inveterate pains for which ends they are most used and with more advantage might be spared in liew of safe and powerful Medicines And so also were it happy if Patients in like manner were rid of Opium let what will be said of its several Rectifications for whether it be used in the Ladanum or otherwise the Event is oftentimes so suddenly and so unexpectedly and so unavoidably dangerous that the knowledg of its aptness to miscarry as it hath done with divers is more then enough to make every Dispenser of it to tremble during the whole time it is in the Patients body And therefore in reason should gladly be left and abandoned for ever having never since I have been furnished with the Medicines herein specified though in the most violent distempers seen any occasion for the use of so critical helpers that instead of rest and sleep like treacherous flatterers stroak and stab and give Death it self in the same instant to the horror and amazement both of Physitians and bewailing relations Which by truly good and real Medicines might be safely avoided such by their efficacious prevalence against the venom of the Distemper in short time not failing to introduce an unenforced well proportioned sleep not only void of all possibility of danger but without sickishness upon waking afrer-dotages weakness of the Nerves or any dispiriting of the Animal Faculties Palsies Vertigoes Apoplexies the frequent Issues of opumated Medicines And therefore though I am far from wishing so much evil to the Practisers with Opium that every of them should be obliged to take the same quantity which at any time they prescribe which yet is one of the Rules I always bind my self to in whatsoever I advise yet I do heartily wish that the whole Old Method of Physick aforementioned in all the particulars of Glisters Bleedings Purgings Vomitings Sweatings by Minerals Issues Cuppings Blisterings c. were all so well and throughly opiated stupified and laid asleep for ever that they might never more rise again in Reputation with Physicians or ever more be readmitted by distressed Patients But that both out of a most powerful ingenuity which most good Consciences are full fraught withall And out of a deep sense of the manifold mischiefs incident to that way would freely and fully forsake them all and exchange them for the use of such true and real Helpers as are known to perform the utmost in all Cases that can be expected from Medicine and that with so much mildness and safety as disturbs not nor hazards the weakest in their Operations And which both by Physitians and ●●tients And all persons and Families may certainly be known to be such and plainly to differ from all Medicines that are not such By these Marks following 1. A truly benign Medicine fit for the Sublime Humane Nature ought to be liquid transparently clear pure and pleasant for reasons expressed in my touchstone of Physick so powerful as to subdue the most violent Distempers and yet so mild as the weakest women and children may partake thereof in any case without hazard And for assurance the Prescriber is to take the same quantity he gives upon any occasion 2. All such kindly and real Medicines ought to be so qualified that if taken by Men Women or Children in Health shall no ways move their bodies but nourish and cherish them But if by any in sickness the same quantity from their effectual friendliness to humane Nature in due time shall either binde or loosen vomit or stay vomiting sweat or restrain excessive sweating give rest in case of restlesness or with-hold from immoderate sleep as the instant necessity of the body needeth or as conduceth most to Recovery 3. And lastly They ought to be no perishable Commodities which prove but weak and defective helpers but such as close stopt keep good for years in all Climates without any Diminution of their vertues never failing or decaying upon their hands who furnisheth themselves therewith either for Sea or Land or that rely and depend upon them for relief in any their occasions or necessities These are the Marks which are sufficient for proof of the fitness or unfitness of all Medicines whatsoever and for detection of all such as may and no doubt will be counterfeiting of these or at least some of them as soon as they grow into any Estimation and are called for by the sick Then who that practises will be without some such spiritful preparation about them that so it may be thought they are not wanting in any thing for their recovery well it were if it were so indeed But being really such they are then not to molest their Patients either with Purgings Vomitings Bleedings Issues Glisters Blisters nor with any thing of Antimony Quicksilver or Opium there being no need of such hazardous and dangerous operations or operators but are all totally to be abandoned where there are Medicines of those absolute Marks and Qualifications so as if in the least they tamper one while with a Glister anotherwhile with a Purge or a Vomit c. though now and then they should give a Dose resembling such as these it signifies just nothing but that they would seem to have as much as any when at the same time it is manifest they themselves have no confidence therein nor no dependence thereupon but according to their old Mode are fain on all occasions to have recourse to their old perplexed medlyes therefore it s good to be wary and to note all such Counterfeitters of Medicines as but Counterfeit Practisers more mindful of their own reputations then of the recovery of their Patients the Marks are few easy to be minded and to be applyed wheresoever or by whomsoever any Medicines are presented and prescribed and in reason should sway in every ones Election or rejection accordingly Or however for my self I shall never be ashamed to acknowledge that it is to these Marks solely that I have confined all my Medicines And that for this way This untrodden Path in Physick so acquired as I have expressed I have forsaken and abandoned all the troublesome and dangerous courses Materials Operations and Practises forementioned and still see good cause to bless God that ever I was Enabled to make so happy an Exchange for the benefit of mankind at least to so many as the difference of those two wayes shall come to be ingeniously and throughly considered A difference so great the one bringing abundant troubles pains hazards and dangers and attended with weepings woes and lamentations the other with quiet ease safety hopefulness and chearfulness so that the profit of this Exchange in it self rightly understood cannot but appear inestimable and unexpressible yet so hardly with many are old ways left though never so painful and perplexed Or new ways

Physitians or Chyrurgions near him which unnoted by him or his dearest Friends might perplex nullifie the operation of these Medicines Nevertheless by Degrees he gaind so much strength or rather so much courage as to resolve for London where with difficulty he arrived But his residence being near to a Physitian his friend and being then on the suddain Extream ill he fell into the general course of Physick which held a long time and had very various successes very much through a strange unchect liberty he took in Diet helping himself notwithstanding now and then with a large Bottle of Radex and at length got so much strength as to adventure to refresh himself in the Country But withal depending so much upon my Medicines that he caused to be sent immediately after him 7 pints of Vis vitae and 2 pints more before he came back and through mercy returned so well as to pursue his occasions and which hath not since failed him and seems still to have as high if not a more high Esteem of these Medicines and I believe he hath good cause for it or he would not as he since hath done commended their use to his best Friends in all their occasions And I conceive under God ascribes unto them very much of his preservation It being also very presumable his recovery had been far sooner and more perfect had he not been diverted but solely depended on their assistance 12. A young Lad taken suddenly so Extream ill and Feverish that the Mother knowing his weak nature doubted he could not live twice two ounces of Vindex for two nights given him prov'd to his recovery 13. The same Lad a while after fell into another Distemper lying continually in a senseless stupid condition I gave him 2 ounces of Vindex mixt with half an ounce of Ignis vitae for one night and the like for next night which perfectly cured him 14. A young Gentlewoman always upon taking cold and preternatural stoppages Extreamly afflicted with sharp violent pains all over her body but more especially in her head never fail'd of recovery by the use of Radix vitae in the day-time to the quantity of half a pint taken by little and little and by six ounces of Vita naturae taken by two ounces a night for three nights together 15. A young Boy far off in the Country being accustomed to Extream fits of Crying a Gentleman related to the Family noting how he writhed his body at such times told the Parents he was perswaded the Child was troubled about the passage of his Water and being well acquainted with my Medicines advised the use of Vis vitae which being given day and night by little and little perfectly cured him wherein they used about three pints or two quarts at most which was no great cost for persons of Quality 16. A youth about seventeen strong and healthful upon a suddain without any manifest cause became Extreamly ill with violent pains in his head sickishness at his stomack sore all over his body with some Giddiness it was a time when the Small Pox was very rife but he having had them and my advice instantly taken I thought it best to arm as if it might prove the Pestilence and so gave him three ounces of Vindex and a good quantity of Radix to use little and little refreshing himself therewith continually But for all this a Vomiting seased him with Extream thirst and restlessness and binding of his body I wisht his Kinred might be acquainted how he was and to resolve what course to take But it fell out the principal of them within reach understood my way earnestly desiring I would proceed upon which I plyed him continually with Salus vitae till at length the Small Pox plentifully appears and being ordered accordingly with due care he soon began to feel his stomack and strength so far that he presumed one morning to rise without a fire in his Chamber or warming any of his Clothes unknown to any body This struck him down and the Wheals began to grow flat Then his Friend who had the chief care of him being tome to Town he began to be troubled that he was under an unusual Course of Physick ordering one of his own acquaintance to take the charge of him But this the youth refused as being satisfied with the way he was in and so was the Physitian to whose care he was referred which was somewhat rare So I fell to work a fresh with Vindex Salus Radix and the like and in short time recovered him to so much strength as made him so fond therewith that one of his Familiars coming to visit him out of mirth and sportfulness he urged him to sing with him some merry Catch but the party disliking so simple a motion fell into more seriousness with him that he was but newly escaped from as dangerous a Sickness as ever any did that though he were sure the worst was past as for his part he as yet was not other thoughts would better become him But to deal plainly with you said he what ever you think there may be but a step betwixt you and Death and therefore it is fit you better prepare your self But this well meant advice wrought so much farther then he intended that it had like indeed to have cost him his life making so deep an impression that there was no perswasion of any possibility of life so that I was forced to redouble my Cordials and others to convince him that there was no fear of his present Distemper And that now he had nothing to trouble his thoughts withall but how to be thankful to God and walk worthy of so great a Deliverance which at length cured and restored him But may serve for Caution not to lay too much weight upon weak minds in times of sickness nothing being more killing then the affright of Death 17. No sooner was he recovered but the maid that attended him throughout his sickness fell Extreamly ill highly Feverish with intollerable Gripings and pains all over her body But being plyed with Vindex Salus and Radix and at length with Vis vitae in respect to stoppages in four days she perfectly recovered 18. A Gentleman about 30. taken with vehement pains in his left side with stoppage of his breath and thereby in such Extremity that he could hardly speak and then crying out he must either bleed or die Yet when Bleeding hath given him no relief or so little that his misery hath soon returned upon him A quarter of a pint of Vindex hath clearly discharged the fit And when in process of time he hath been troubled again in like manner he hath found speedy remedy by a quarter of a pint of Stella or at most half a pint Other times by as much of Refugium for he hath often been so afflicted yet could never be induced to condescend to any course for rooting out the cause of the Distemper And that because he

their Bills this no inconsiderable Cure cost 18 pence that afore it about 5 s. N. 81. 3 s. N. 80. 4 s. N. 79. 12 s. N. 78. 1 s. proportionable whereunto distempers rightly stated The rest also will rato pro rato appear and well applied might prove a fit remedy for such as in their hearts wish they were dearer though with their tongues they thus play the Bo-peep Lap-wings for every one knows what will not lye 84. A young Merchant extremely weakned and dejected by the violent griping tearing pains of Vomiting and Loosness insomuch that he exceedingly doubted how it would go with him desiring my advice A friend of his also being very ill likewise I gave him a full half pint of Stella he drank the far greater part himself and his friend the rest but such an alteration did it immediately make in him that in an instant he fell into discourse with that freedome and chearfulness as if he had quite forgot his sickness or had not been sick at all And so also was it with his friend and both perfectly recovered without any after complaint or inconvenience and this at 6 s. was thought no hard bargain 85. A Gentlewoman about 30 grievously tormented with Gripes and Loosness by half a pint of Salus taking half at ten in the forenoon and the rest last at night perfectly recovered and about a week after taking Cold again and falling into the same distemper by the like quantity again recovered and continued in health nor was this thought dear though both Cures cost 8 s. 86. A Gentlewoman newly brought to bed troubled over-much with after-pains and vapours I sent her hal●● pint of Radix and four ounces of Refugium the Radix she was to sip of continually and three spoonfuls of Refugium in case of any violent fit in the use whereof she found immediate help passing through her time very healthfully and comfortably which bears a material testimony both for their Innocency and Efficacy when in so tender a case they proved so effectual the charge of both also not exceeding the sum of 5 s. which was not thought unreasonable 87. A Child new born opprest with Flegm by the use of two ounces of Arcanum mixt with one ounce of Radix half a spoonful every hour given ceased to be farther troubled 88. An ingenious Gentleman long time troubled with melancholly and in hope of recovery tyred out with Physick being by his Friend possest of my own and my Medicines lity put both himself and his Purse freely into my Cere I was the best Husband I could for him and yet was forced except I would trifle out my Trust between the 10th and 25th of March to put him to full three pound cost but so much to his contentment and recovery that I never took more joy then to note his Noble and generous rejoycing in the pleasantness of his Medicines wondring that things so pleasant could be so efficacious as he found them This Cure was performed by a quart of Radix and a pint of Salus deliver'd the 10th day of March the Radix for the day and the Salus for the night The 15th day I sent him a mixture of Stella vitae and Succus vitae the quantity of a quart the 17th a pint of Salus the 25th a mixture of Spirit of Saffron with four ounces of Arcanum naturae to the quantity of a quart and eight ounces of Salus vitae for nights and this last proportion lasted him four daies So I reckon twenty daies compleated the work which was thought could not have been less then so many weeks nor did he limit me to any time nor did I promise him within any compass so far have I ever been and I doubt not ever shall be from abusing the confidence or trust of any and am confident this Cure would not have been thought dear had it cost ten times the value it did 89. A Gentleman in a very violent Fever sending to me about one in the afternoon I sent him a pint of Radix vitae to take a quarter of it presently and three hours after as much more and at Bed-time the like and to keep the rest as he saw occasion But he being well acquainted with my Medicines and knowing my advices ever rather short then over made more hast and took it all by seven that evening He had upon it five or six stools the Original cause being a Surfeit but by this he was instantly and fully cured and on the sudden made hungry that before could not have eaten any thing And so was it with him in N. 84. 90. One who by over-much hast bruis'd her Breast and long ill thereof received very much comfort by the use of one pint of Vindex naturae 91. One in her Lying-in though well Laid yet falling into dreadful pains and thence into a violent Fever and Lightness of Head with thirst and after some remission by the use of my medicines a desperate melancholly seizing upon her yet being continually plyed with Refugium Vis Salus and Radix a little after her moneth perfectly recovered Cost 30 s. 92. Her Nurse about the time of her recovery having tyred her self with care and watching and falling into extreme griping of the Bowels by one half pint of Sanguis taken at twice perfectly recovered 93. The Child also during the Mothers illness being often dangerously distempered was still reduced to a hopeful state by Radix Salus c. and is in a very good condition 94. A Gentlewoman near 30 extremely afflicted with a second day Ague and wearied with Physick was by a Friend who had esteem of my Medicines recommended to my care her Husband telling me if I could cure her in short time 't was like she would take what I sent her else not I told him I never set nor was not us'd to be set any time so if he thought good to refer her to me and follow my advice I made no difficulty with Gods help to cure an Ague He said he had cause to bethink himself aforehand having very lately paid off a Bill of above twenty pound for Physick for himself and he would be loth his Wife should fall into such handling she having had too much of it her self already I told him 't was more his business then mine and he might do as he pleas'd But the Gentleman that brought him said he knew me better then so as to my clearness in the undertaking and that she should be rul'd by me so I fell to work with Salus for every night and Vis for every day and sometimes Salus for the Fit and other times Refugium and in about eight days cured her with the cost of 22 s. to their wonder and great contentment and this without Visit sight of her or her water or any troublesome operation 95. One between 50 and 60. observing a numness beginning in his fingers and unaptness about his wrists upon taking a pint of Salus by two

The Distempers Denominated Tisick Inflammation of the Lungs and Palpitation of the Heart ON the 8th of April 1632. The Widow of Monsi Sejelory of Mon ' Pelier Starting out of her bed at midnight thinly clad to the window was presently taken with great shortness of breath like a Fit of the Tisick with a Cough spitting of blood a Feaver and readness of Face I being sent for caus'd a vein to be open'd in her right arm and 8 ounces of blood being taken away her shortness of breath presently ceased Afterwards a Laxative Glister was injected and a Julep given her of Red Poppy water Sirrup of Violets Sal prunellae and Confectio de Hyacintho On the ninth day at ten in the forenoon I visit her again and find her in a Fever troubled with a Cough and spitting of bloody matter also she felt a heavy weight in the middle of her breast with an inward burning and pricking in many parts of her Chest I cause her to be let blood in her left arm and that the Glister and Julep should be repeated to anoint her breast with Oyl of Violets and that she lick frequently some Sirrops of Violets after the blood-letting she was presently eased that sense of weight and burning in her Chest were ●bated At five in the Evening the same day conceiving that vapours arose from beneath and humours into her Chest which that shortness of breath did sufficiently declare I cause her to be let blood in the Saphena Vein after which she was also better The night following she took the foresaid Julep again she slept but little On the tenth day in the morning she was better her Fever and other Symptoms were very remiss About the third hour of the Evening she had a coldness in her extream parts with a light sweat in her Feet and palms of her hands after that an a●●te Fever her pulse very much expressed and the sense of heaviness in her chest very much augmented Dr. Ranchinus the Chancellor was called to Consultation who conceived that it was a Pluerisie arising from inflammation of the Mediasticum and by common consent she was Let blood in her right Arm to seven ounces after which also she was better The other Medicines were continued also Frictions Ligatures and Cupping-glasses were applyed to her lower parts On the eleventh day which was the third of her sickness moved with what I had observed in another Disease of the same patient in which she was afflicted by turns with a Flux of her Belly joyned with a Tenesmus and a Catarrh falling upon her breast So that as often as her loosness stopt she was grievously afflicted with her Catarrh and when her Flux recovered her Catarrh presently ceased The humour falling into her breast being drawn downwards I conceived that a Purge would do her most good which I made after this manner Take leaves of B●gloss and Lettice of each one handful Tamarind ha●●●● ounce Liquorice ●h●ee dr●●s Violet flowers 〈◊〉 Pugil boy all to ●our ounces in the strained Liquo● dissolve one dram of Rubarb infused in Beglo●● water with yellow Sanders Manna and firrup of Roses of each one ounce make all into a potion which she took in the morning and voided much Flegmatick Wheyish sharp and stinking matter nevertheless the Disease was more violent towards the Evening than formerly yet her Pulse was not oppressed as before and the weight in her breast was less But she felt a pain about her right Chanel bone which encreased by handling the same she slept little that night she took Emulsions frequently The fourth day of her Disease and the twelfth of the moneth when as in the morning her Fever and the pain in her Chanel bone continued Dr. Ranchinus was again called to Consult and besides the foresaid Symptoms a great palpitation of the heart which appeared also in her right Hypocondrium also in her right side but it lasted not long there But about her heart it continued and did beat like a Hammer violently she was again Let blood in her right Arm. And an Ovntment was appointed for the part pained and Remedies to revel the humours to the lower parts About Evening the Disease was again exasperated and the Palpitation continued some hours after she did sweat a little all her body over by which she was a little eased But her Palpitation and Fever continued as before when we began to suspect that Vapours did arise from her Womb we prescribed her a Glister for the Mother Frictions Ligatures and Cupping-glasses to be applyed to her lower parts Emplastrum Hystericum was applyed to her Navel and a Julep was given her to assist her sweating of Scabious and Carduus water with Bezoar stone and half an ounce of Orange flower water in regard of her womb In the night she had three large stools of stinking corrupt matter after midnight she slept quietly till morning On the fifth day of the Disease I found her in the morning with a small Fever without any oppression in her breast or any pain and with very little Palpitation of heart about Evening she did sweat a little and was better afterwards After she had voided her Glister her palpition was augmented her Fever became more intense and she was pretty well in the Night On the sixth day all
