OF Sudden Diseases By Dr. JOHN PECHEY of the College of Physicians London at his House in Robin-Hood's-Court the Lower End of Bow-lane near Bazing-Lane Cheapside EVERY one that practises in this manner and would publish Medicines with Reputation ought in the first place to give an Account of himself Because many now-a-days practise Physick and publish Medicines that were never instructed in the Art of Physick and so impose on the Publick by professing an Art they don't understand I shall therefore preface the following Undertaking with a Testimonial I received from the College of Physicians many Years ago KNOW all Men That the President of the College of Physicians with the Consent of the Fellows of the same has by Authority from King and Parliament examin'd and Approved of and Elected into the College J. PECHEY Master of Arts in the University of Oxford a Man of Probity and Skill and we have granted him full Power and Authority to exercise the Science and Art of Physick according to the Laws publish'd to this Purpose And moreover we have granted him the Use and Benefit of all the Profits Liberties and Privileges which have been already or may be hereafter granted by Authority aforesaid In Witness whereof we have Seal'd these Presents with our Common Seal at our College in London the 22d of December in the Year 1684. and in the Thirty-sixth Year of King Charles IId Having often consider'd that there are several Diseases so surprising and withal so very violent that the Patient is often dead or past all Hopes of Recovery before a Physician in many Places can be called or advised with And that in this Great and Populous City very few Practitioners are willing to do any thing for the Sick in the Night and that no Physician has hitherto professedly undertaken to dispense Medicines for the Sick in the Night nor can without good Help tho' acute and violent Diseases happen as well in the Night as Day and some of them oftner in the Night than Day So that many People seiz'd with sudden and violent Diseases in the Night are at a loss and know not where to apply themselves for Relief I have employed my self several Years to find out proper Remedies for sudden and violent Diseases And after Thirty Years Practice and Experience the following Medicines are the best and most effectual I know for the Diseases hereafter mentioned And that the Sick may have Relief in the Night as well as Day I have undertaken to dispense the following Medicines at any time of the Night as well as Day for sudden violent and dangerous Diseases And I believe they may be of General Use and may suit all Conditions of Men all by the Frailty of Nature lying open to one or other of these sudden Incursions And such as live at a Distance from the City or in the Country ought to keep the Medicines by them that are proper for their Diseases especially if they have been often seiz'd with sudden and violent Diseases For they will find no small Comfort and Security in having an Approved Remedy ready at hand in time of need The Pouder to prevent Miscarriage THIS is a noble Remedy it strengthens and comforts the Stomach expels Wind and comforts the Child very much and strengthens a weak Womb and the Ligaments of it and prevents the Courses and is a powerful Remedy for Diseases of the Womb coming from extreme Weakness Cold and Moisture and Laxity or Looseness of the Womb or from a Defluxion of Humours upon the Womb. A Paper of it must be taken daily Morning and Evening in a Glass of Claret Price 6 d. a Paper Drops to hasten Delivery THESE Drops wonderfully hasten Delivery when the Pains cease or are too weak and when the Womb does not sufficiently help itself in promoting the Birth and in this Case they excell most other Remedies and are as it were a divine Help They are also good for Vapours and Mother-Fits Twenty of these Drops may be taken at any time in any Liquor the Woman drinks and they must be repeated upon occasion but you must shake them every time you use them The Price of a Viol of these Drops is 1 s. 6 d. The Child-bed Julep THIS Julep is an approved and blessed Remedy and if it be taken presently after Delivery it prevents a great many Diseases that afflict Women in Child-bed and kill many as Fevers Convulsions Inflammations and cures Bruises of the Womb and prevents the Obstruction of the Child-bed Cleanfings It cures After-pains and all manner of Pains in the Bowels and Belly and is of a Balsamick and Healing Nature and a divine Help for Women after difficult and hard Labour as any one will plainly find that makes use of it presently after Delivery The Viol contains 4 Ounces which must be taken presently after Delivery Price 1 s. 6 d. The Electuary and Hysterick Cordial for a Suppression of the Child-bed Cleansings THIS Electuary and Hysterick Cordial if they are taken soon after the Suppression of the Child-bed Cleansings generally take it off and prevent many ill Accidents For the Suppression of these is one of the worst and most dangerous Symptoms that can befal a Woman after Delivery especially if they be wholly and suddenly stopt the first three or four Days The Woman must take the Quancity of a large Nutmeg of the Electuary every 3d Hour till the Suppression is remov'd drinking after every Dose of the Electuary 4 Spoonfuls of the Hysterick Cordial and a Galbanum Plaister ought to be applied to the Navel The Pot of the Electuary contains 3 Ounces Price 2 s. the Cordial 13 Ounces Price 2 s. The Electuary and Julep for a violent Flux of the Courses AN immoderate Flux of the Courses happens to Women either in Child-bed or at other Times As to the first that afflicts Women most on the first Days after difficult Labour and is accompanied with a long Train of Hysterick Symptoms and as it happens only on the first Days so usually it does not last long for if a thickning Diet be order'd it soon abates The following Drink may be also used Take of Plantain-water and Red Wine each 1 Pint boil them till a third Part is consumed sweeten it with a sufficient Quantity of White Sugar let the Woman take half a Pint of it twice or thrice a Day But as to the Flux which happens out of Child-bed tho' it befals Women at any time yet it most commonly comes a little before the Time it leaves them namely when they are about Forty-five Years of Age if they have them young and about Fifty if 't were late before they began to have them and by reason of the great Quantity of Blood which is evacuated they are almost continually afflicted with Vapours and much weaken'd In order to the Cure you must bleed in the Arm and 8 Ounces of Blood must be taken away and the next Morning my cooling Purging Potion must be given
