A88936	Riddles mervels and rarities: or, A new way of health, from an old man's experience, &c. Being his kind legacy, to his fellow creatures: or, the physician, and no physician, prescribing physick, and no physick; shewing plain, easie, and cheap ways, how every man may become his own physician, his own apothecary, and his own chyrurgeon, with little or no trouble, but far less cost. Whereby sickness may certainly be prevented to the well; health, as certainly procur'd to the sick; and man's life comfortably preserv'd, to a good old age.... Divided into 2 parts, by two universal medicines; the one physical, the other natural; the first the worst, the second the best. Also a short discourse concerning the phylosopher's stone, ... With several other choice observations of profitable use, as may be seen in the table here annext.	Mace, Thomas, d. 1709?	1698 (1698)	Wing M121A; ESTC R229881	30,352	40

he had sought out for any means or help of Physicians for his Wives Recovery c. His Answer was That he was a Poor Man and had not where-with-all to do it c. Then I ask'd him If he were willing to use Means if it were given him c. He answer'd He should be very thankful c. Whereupon I ordered it so That when she call'd for Drink next time there should be a good Dose of this Tincture put into it for I perceiv'd she was a lusty strong Woman The which was done and soon after she call'd for Drink and took it all off and in a little time it began to work Rarely Well she all the while standing stoutly upon her Legs staring Mad and spouting all the Vomits out of her Mouth to a huge distance from her looking furiously about her all the while till at last she ceast Vomiting and it turn'd to Purging and then she took her Chamber Pot and us'd it the which I caus'd the Man to fetch away after she had set it down that we might see it but I never saw such a Stool before for it was as Black as a Chimney Stock a perfect sign of Melancholly or Madness And in short Thus he continued giving her this same Liquor and in a very short time she perfectly recovered her Right Sences and that very Harvest she went a Gleaning among her Neighbours as Sensibly and Quietly as any of them and so continued This Story is as well worth Noteing as any of the former and as well worth the Enquiring into if any be doubtful of the real truth thereof there are particulars enough to find it out Of the French POX IN this Story of the High French Pox The Eighth-Story I must be excus'd in that I nominate no Person save only a lustly Young Man of a Vigorous Strong Lively Brisk and Active Temper c. It being too great a Reflection upon his Reputation to give any hints towards his being thus known I shall therefore only tell you how that he was Miserably Tormented with this Foul Disease and how soon he was Cured He was infected with it from Head to Foot broaken out in Head Arms Privities and Legs c. It had brought him so deplorably Weak that he could scarcely go up a pair of Stairs without Fainting or Swounding away The Truth is It was dangerous for any one to come near him nor did any body Officiate in his Cure but himself I gave him this thing freely with exact Directions how to use it which he very carefully follow'd and in a short time First by taking it inwardly in the Nature of Physick and then by outward Washings and Bathings of his Soars and other swell'd Parts c. till he was so perfectly Cur'd that a while after meeting him in the Street and asking him how he did he Rejoycingly told me in these following Words clapping his Hand on his Breast That he thought he was as strong as a Horse and so continued This is as true a Story as any of the former and as true as ever any was told by any Man Here are but few Stories of a great many which I could set down to show and prove the admired Vertues of This Rare thing and if these few will not suffice to satisfy concerning the Reality of what I have thus far Declar'd more would be needless therefore I shall forbear to Nominate any other These Eigth Stories are well worth Observation in This Particular especially viz. in that they are each of Them of a different and various kind The first the Plague the second the Leprosie the third Yallow Jaundice Obstrustion and Monthly Visits the forth a Dead Child Restor'd the fifth a Deep Consumption the sixth a Sore Breast the seventh Madness the eighth the High French Pox by all which you may plainly see the Powerful and Effective Force and the Universality of this Active Medicine And by which it may very easily be conceiv'd That no other Disease can stand in its Way or fail to be Cur'd where This Tincture is rightly us'd or apply'd for all or most other Diseases may well be said to be comprehended under These eight great Grievances for Omne majus contenet in se minus so that cure These doubt not of cureing any of a lower Rank or Quality therefore conclude it not only an but The Vniversal Medicine of Vniversals in a Physical way It never fails suddainly to cure any sort of Ague whatever ●●e singular Quality by all that take it it is observ'd to have viz. A singular Quality constant to this Medicine ●●ways leaves them with a Hungry Appetite to Meat which seldom is ●ound in most other Physicks and is That which shows the true Effects of its Operations viz. That the Stomach is Rectifi'd the which is no small Commendations of the Physick for as the Stomach is well or ill affected so constantly is the whole Body for in It all our Nourishment is determin'd either for our Health or Sickness wherefore This very One only Commendation if it had no more is enough to Magnify it above all others commonly used I will therefore now Conclude this first Part treating of the first Vniversal Medicine specify'd in the Title Page viz. Thus The First the Worst FINIS PART II. CHAP I. Treating of the second Universal Medicine which is no Physical Medicine but Natural and is the Best of the Two as shall appear by what follows ALthough I have in the first part spoken so many Great Truths concerning the just and deserved Praise of That Most Excellent Medicine of all Physical Medicines and do really believe that no one Physical Medicine The reason of a just Preferrance can be compared unto it in That respect yet I do far prefer the Natural Vniversal Medicine before It because that That which is Natural is ever to be Preferred before That which is Artificial For Nature being God's Principal Work-man as may be so said She never Errs nor can she do any thing amiss Her ways are Plain Perfect and Easie Gentle Sweet and Quiet Cortain Absolute and Compleat if she be not interrupted c. So that whosoever follows the Rules and Dictates of Nature cannot do amiss but must needs live Happily in their Health for That 's the Theam we are now upon and it will hold good in all other things in Nature whatever What may well be judg'd one of God's Predestinate Purposes Nature being God's Faithful Servant does all His appointments Faithfully and most Exactly even according to His Secret Determination and sure That may be look'd upon as One if not the Main Predestinate purpose of God We often have the word Nature in our Mouths What may be understood by the word Nature but few of us do consider or understand what it is or how c. If I should say that Nature is God's own Opperating it cannot any way Derogate from the Adorable Honour which
