the Dose as they see occasion and others that are costive and of strong Bodies may take 〈◊〉 spoonfuls but however it is so gentle and safe in its operatation that no great Error can be committed in the taking of it and it hath this rare property contrary to most Physic that it leaves the Body in a good condition without a binding quality after it But I shall give those Directions that were communicated to me together with the description of the Cordial and which I have found by experience to be most beneficial upon several persons that have had it of me as I could give an Instance by setting down the Names of hundreds and I am well assured that not any one that makes tryal of it will repent it But I shall not give the Reader so much trouble But to satisfie the world that Daffy hath abused me I have set down the Names of several persons of good quality most of them â—â—ve had the tryal of both but finding most benefit by mine have done me that favour as to give me leâ—ve to insert their Names viz. 〈◊〉 Nicolas Carew of Beddington in Sâ—rrey Dr. Laurence Womock 〈◊〉 Deacon of Sâ—fâ—â—â—â— Edw.

from others my former Industry having freed me from â—â—y necessity of soaring with borrowed wings nor shall I ransack tâ—â— pathological part of Physic to trouble them in every Paragraph 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 particular enumeration either of Symptoms or Signs Diaâ—nâ—stic It were a superfluous vanity but shall satisfie my self and them with a brief yet full declaration of what I know most material and beneficial to them and that in plain and familiar terms for Ornari res ipsa negat contenta doceri The Method and Orders to be observed in the use of this Cordial For the Stone or Gravel in the Kidneys Take three spoonfuls last at night and first in the morning and an hour after it take one draught of Posset-drink made with White-wine or Ale if they have it and boyl in it a few Marshmallow Roots or for want of them the Leaves of Common Mallows and sweetned with Sugar if they please continue this for two or three days and then rest a day or two as they please Stone in the Bladder Take the same Dose of three spoonfuls morning and night so long as your strength will admit and then rest a day or two and then take it again and with patience continue the use of it for this is not a Distemper for which a Cure must in a little time be expected Exulceration of the Kidneys or Neck of the Bladder and for a Bloody Vrine Take three spoonfuls night and morning for two days and then rest two days and then take it every other day and I advise them when Cows go to Grass to drink new Milk as often as they please which is the Method I have used my self and found benefit by it They must refrain Salt Meats and Stale Dâ—ink and Sharp Wine Dropsie If the Patient be of a strong Constitution let him take four spoonfuls night and morning four days together then rest two daâ—â— and then take three spoonfuls morning and night The Gâ—ut Take three spoonfuls last at nâ—â—ght â—nd fiâ—st in 〈◊〉 morâ—iâ—â— coâ—â—â—nue it so long as they find they can convâ—nâ—â—ntâ—◠〈…〉 day or longer if they can and

drunk bad Wine or too much of good let them take three spoonfuls over night and three next morning and they will owe me thanks for my Advice Fits of the Mother and Vapours from the Spleen Let the patient begin with one or two spoonfuls and so continue oâ—raise the Dose as they find their Bodies able to bear it Green Sickness According to the Age and Strength of the patient let the patient take one two or three spoonfuls morning and night and use exercise and there iâ— no question of a Cure if it be continued for a little time Childrens Distempers Whether the Woâ—ms Rickets the Stone Convulsions Gripes Kings Evil or any other Distemper the best Direction is to leave it to the discretion of the parents and if the Child be young to give it a small quantity mixt with some proper Vehicle for the Distemper you give it for but as I have used it to my own Children with good success I give a spoonful to one two years old and two spoonfuls to one of six but for the exact Dose the observation of the parents will direct them Lâ—sâ— of Appetite Let two or three spoonfuls be taken morning and evening for two days and then intermit two or three days and so take of it or forbear it as they please I have known several reap great benefit in taking less than half a pint Consumption and bad Digestion Let them take one spoonful an hour before dinner and another spoonful after dinner Agues An hour before the Fit take three spoonfuls and six hours after take two spoonfuls and continue this Method according as the strength of the patient will admit My Bottles are sealed with my Seal
