as Industrious and skillful in this as in the other parts of their Profession But occasi ns call me off from this Discourse I must ●…sten to finish the remainder which is a more part cular account of the Operation of Medicines in the Cure of ●his Disease w●th some remarkable Observations in difficult Ca●es and dubious Complications I have met with l●tely in Pr●ctice of necessary Consideration to others in like manner Diseased E. M. Med. D. London From my House in Clarken-well-Close Of such Purgation and proper Purgatives as is requisite in Curing the Scurvy PUrgation or Clensing is praemitted as a regular and due course in the cure of most Diseases and it is instituted chiefly to cleanse the first region of the body and to carry off what superfluous or degenerate matter is to be voided by the gutts And this operation is necessary in the cure of most Diseases though seated in other parts for although the infirmity lye not in the first region of the body neither in the Stomack Gall Gutts Mesentery Liver nor Splene yet 't is aggravated if those parts be foul and probably may be the original and foundation of those remote infirmities by consent or transmission nor shall medicine carry its vertue without impediment and abatement or ●ood clearly conveyed to nourish the body if those parts be foul clogged and obstructed Now to make choice of a fit and good Medicine that will cleanse the Stomack Gutts Mesentery Liver and Spleen without offering injury to their peculiar Crasis or Ferments that is not to alienate them from their proper distinct natures not to impress and stamp new qualities upon them this is a Medicine you may freely use and expect great relief from in keeping the forenamed parts pure and clean and such a Medicine is to be used in the cure of scorbutic persons but if you use Purgers of a deleterious and virulent quality that act per modum veneni they will characterise their virulencies and exotick adverse properties upon the parts alienate and debilitate the ferments in their Functions and Offices and the often use of them impairs Nature very much though for the present sometimes alleviation does acrue from the evacuation procured though by bad means and of this nature are most of the Purgers in use as Senna Coloquintida R●uh●… Hell●bore c having a laxative venom that stimulates Nature to expulsion Since Purgation is thus necessary and purgatives so choisely to be elected and chosen not every medicine that causeth stools but such as is also endowed with balsamic and amicable properties no way injurious to nature I have therefore been a diligent Searcher and Improver of such a Medicine that may answer the intentions proposed and by degrees of improvement in some years time by various alterations and tryals have perfected a purgative vegetable Extract that fully satisfies and pleaseth me in its manner of operation and effects and this Medicine is my Scorbute Pills so called because primely intended and contrived for the most efficacious purgative medicine in all Scorbutic Cases Now the Scurvy as appears in the former part of that Book is complicated and joins with all manner of diseases Scorbutic Dropsies Scorbutic Feavers Asthmaes Palsies Gouts Scorbutic Consumptions c. that a particular medicine for this or that humor being too narrow and not adaequate to the latitude of the disease will take no effect in many Scorbutic persons but such as are radical and graduated in universality are the powerful and laudable medicines I have therefore framed and improved this Medicine to answer the intents of Purgation in all Scorbutick persons and cases and is the best purgative medicine both in the manner of operation and the effects that ever I used or read of For farther satisfaction and proof of this I shall give you some brief Account of these Pills from my own experience and observation in divers cases upon several of my Patients They are effectually used against the defects and errors of digestion in the first second and third office in the first namely in all diseases of the stomack requiring purgation and cleansing downwards and the bad symptoms arising from thence as Oppression Fulness ●aus●…ing Wind Pain or Griping Wo●m●●…s● of Appetite in all these cases this medicine is very proper to cleanse and discharge the s●omack make it clean and 〈◊〉 for the reception of wholesom food not t●ll then can you expect good no ●…ment if the stomack be soul the nutriment conveyed from thence to support and maintain the body must also be vitiated and impure And here I must relate to you what hapned to a Gentlewoman that had been l●…g in a Scorbutic Atrophy a Consumption arising from the Scurvy for some years but not discovered she was observed to droop and decline and her Complexion change and yet she complained not of pain in any part she slept indifferently but had little or no appetite to meat Several conjectures there were concerning the cause of her languishing by Physicians and others he● Friends some said one thing others another try'd this medicine the● tha● but all this while received no 〈…〉 last she applyed to me and upon examination of the whole matter I found her to be Scorbutical I gave my judgment of her present state and condition how and from what causes pro●ured and a Prognostick what whould follow if not prevented whereupon she willingly resigned her self to my care and to do what I thought sit to restore her At first I appointed her to lay aside her Dyet-drinks Restaurative Electuaries and Potions with which she had been loaded again and again and to rest Ten dayes before I would give her any thing of Physick in the interim to eat such meat as her stomack did like and best agree with which pleased her well she having been strictly tyed up to a Dyer at Ten dayes end I gave her a Dose of these Scorbute Pills one over night and two next morning which workt six times very gently with her that day the night following she slept well and the next morning I appointed her to take a Do●e of my Catholic Elixir sixteen d●ops in a spoonful of Sack and likewise three mornings following but increasing two drops every morning her stomack now was something better and she more l●vely The fifth day I ordered her a Dose of the same Pills which operated much as the former and brought away two worms fourdays following she took the Elixir and the fi●th a dose of the Scorbute Pills thus intermittingly she used these two medicines for the space of six weeks At a fortnights end her stomack was much better both for appetite and digestion at the months end she was stronger and well able to go very chearful and eat her meat with delight her Complexion altered much for the better and about the sixth week she improved in flesh and began to be something plump and full then I bad her desist from her Pills but continue
