Thief has lain hid so long but if a Light had been brought in by a Chymist this Thief might have been discovered before this time and then Nephritick men would have been aware of it I grant by reason of abundance of Nitre in the Water it will force out stony Gravel in the Kidneys when any is there but I am certain also because of the plenty of Stone filings that are in it the Water will occasion the breeding of Stones in the Kidneys where pro tempore there are none ask those that have quitted themselves of the Stones they voided by drinking the Water if after they returned home fits have not come on them more frequently and sharply than before they drank of Scarbrough-Spaw I protest to the world both as to my self Relations and Patients I have found it so to shew the disserence betwixt Scarbrough and Knaisbrough Water as to this petrifying property I shall mention a remarkable Observation of Mr. Henry Proctor of Farnly I had the relation of it from his own mouth when we were together this Gentleman was brought very low in an Hectick Fever and sadly troubled with shortness of breath he consulted with Dr. Henry Poor for Cure but found no Remedy he then applied himself to Dr. Neal who prepared his body and advised him to drink Knaisbrough Water which caused him cough up several Stones daily till he was perfectly cured He does enjoy his health very well ever since using those Waters once a year afterward he married and now is Father of two Children if this Patient had been sent to Scarbrough-Spaw what had become of him let others judge as the Disease of the Stone doth immediately proceed from a petrisick spirit the cause sine quâ non so Jaundise and the Gout have their 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 from it hence it doth follow that secondarily these two Distempers are dangerously exalted in bodies that are inclinable to them by drinking this Spaw for evidence of this truth I shall give instances First the Lord Erwin went from his House at Temple-Newsam to Scarbrough upon what other account than to divert himself there with the company of his friends I know not after he had drunk the Water and was returned home presently the Jaundise seizes on him of which Disease he shortly died though Dr. Taylor used all means for his remedy now this I say all sweet Spaws in the World have a property common to them that they are of a deopilating nature and though they may not suit to every Disease yet for the removing of grand Obstructions the cause of most Diseases they are generally the best and mostly the last advice of all Physicians what reason then can be given why this Honourable Lord by drinking Scarbrough Spaw Water had not the Obstructions of his Gall opened but contrarily brought into this irrecoverable Disease that kill'd him I say what reason else if not this Scarbrough Water did petrifie that Sulphurous Saline humour in the Vesica bilaria into Stones too great to pass through the porus Dr. Witty blamed his too liberal drinking of wine with it as he said to my self this year but what harm could that do more than to increase Choler which humour unpetrified is most easily purged away of all others That Stones do as usually concrete in the Gall as in the Kidneys in men as well as in beasts who doth question I was present many years since at a Physick Lecture in London when the Professor in the Discourse of the Jaundise brought forth three or four little Stones of Gall wrapt up in his Handkerchif to shew them to the other Doctors there relating that a Gentlewoman of the City afflicted with that Disease after many fruitless attempts made by him for her Cure at last was put to it to give her a Dose of sharp working Physick which quitted her of those Stones whereby she forthwith recovered if any object that suppose the Gall be petrified yet it cannot cause death in so short a time as this Lord took his Disease and died in it For answer let him consult Helmont with Syloius and there is enough to satisfie him that the second fermentation made by the succus pancreaticus and the Gall are as necessary for the preservation of life as the first fermentation is that 's in the Stomack though in an Oxe Gall there is often found a great Stone notwithstanding the beast keeps health and liking till the Butcher slaughter him yet then there is abundance of liquid choler besides in his Vesica bilaria sufficient to perform fermentation I shall mention but two other instances of this year in our Town An Alderman whose Father some years since died of the Jaundice but himself was never troubled with it till after his coming from Scarbrough Water then did the Symptoms of this Disease appear only it did not manifest it self either by Vrine or by Colour of his body which gave me a great cause of suspicion that the water had petrified the Gall with Chalibeat and other Icterical drinks by slow degrees he recovered A Merchant's Wife with Child for company of her Husband came to Scarbrough Dr. Witty in his Book approving the Water safe for such she desired to drink of it upon her return home a tormenting pain seized on her right side for mitigation of this extream dolour and prevention of a Feaver Phlebotomy was thrice ordered then an Antimonial Vomit yet so obdurated was the Gall by the petrifying property of Scarbrough Water as I suspected that none other sign appeared of the Jaundice but a return of her pain three or four times over at length a ternary spirit of Wine Nitre and Mercury elixerated dissolved the congealed Choler and then did the Disease shine forth in its saffron colour after three recidivations she was pluckt out of the Jaws of death beyond the hopes of all her friends and is now well delivered of a lusty Boy Let it be here observed that I practise according to conscience and let those She-Tatlers who when they have done mumbling over their Beads come to a Feast and there mutter hard speeches against me for dealing so severely with this Patient take notice that it is my principle when I see my duty to pursue it to the hazard of my credit with such as them and though I be singular in this point from the most of my Brethren whose wisdom it is to secure themselves from an evil report by doing nothing in a doubtful case yet I have not so learned Christ The Maxim is true quod unicum est non deliberandum est and the resolution is Christian Let us quit our selves like men of Art and Integrity and let the Lord do what seemeth him good Pardon this digression Reader Dr. Witty gives an instance pag. 180. of a Knight and his Lady in Lincolnshire by drinking the Water at home for the Scurvy both of them took the Jaundice which they recovered not from till Christmas following
