voided by the said Mr. Crawley was nigh 12 Months in wasting before it could come away and was then rendred so soft that it crumbled away between the fingers Exulceration of the Kidneys For the Exulceration of the Kidneys rendering the Patients Urine like Blood let the Patient keep to the direction of the Second general Observation and so first open and cleanse the Body for two days and then for two days Night and Morning take one spoonful or two according to the Measure of strength and then intermit two days and after take one Spoonful at night and one in the Morning and one an hour before Dinner This method in taking the same hath by the Lords Blessing been found eminently shccesful in the healing and cleansing any Exuleeration of the Reins or Bladder Collick and Griping in the GVTS LEt the Patient at any time of pain take three Spoonfuls which may ease or mitigate the pain and if he or she be not discharged of the Pains let him or her take three spoonfuls more five hours after but if the Patient be a costive or a corpulent Body let such a one take a Dose of 4 Spoonfuls during the Gripes and if the pain continue four Spoonfuls more six hours after for this Distemper is usually sadly violent and must be followed close yet this means thus taken fails not by the blessing of Almighty God to become Master of this sad Malady Afterwards for cleansing the Body of the dregs of it let the Patient lessen the Dose according to directions of the general Observation PTISSICK LEt the Patient weigh and consider the three general Observations and according to direction thereof open and cleanse the Body for four days and after that take only half a Spoonful when the Cough is perceived coming upon him or her and one Spoonful an hour before Dinner and this course followed will by degrees gain power over and waste the Distemper yea and strengthen Nature against it and this course may be taken even in Winter when the Distemper is predominant and strongest upon the Patient by which means he or she will by the Lords Blessing find the Breath free and the Cough exceedingly abated if not taken away But as to youthful Persons that are not far gone in this sad Malady a Pint of this Drink in the Spring as much in the Fall taken as before directed will by Gods Blessing not fail of their perfect Cure And unto aged People afflicted with this Distemper it doth so far aid Nature and strengthen them as in the following Winter to render their lives pleasant to them provided always that the Patient be moderate in drinking and have a care to prevent taking cold and keep a good Diet. DROPSIE IF it be predominant upon the Patient known by the bigness of the Belly swelling of the Limbs and Face let the Patient take four spoonfuls first in the morning and the like Dose last at night for four days together then intermit two days and afterwards keep two orthree spoonfuls at night and the like Dose in the morning SCVRVEY THe Scurvey known by knots in the flesh and blew spots in the skin let the Patients keep to the directions in the three general observations having due regard to the strength of their bodies and take the drink two days intermitting two days for the space of a month and then take only one spoonful in the morning and another an hour before dinner SVRFEITS LEt the Patient take the ordinary Dose of 3 Spoonfuls at night and three in the morning for six times without intermission and there is no doubt but by the Lords Blessing the same will be found succesful to his or her Relief and Cure though the height of the distemper had brought the Patient very low and nigh the gates of death And I would advise others and particularly such as are apt to drink much Wine bad and sophisticated Wines being very frequent and fatal in this City and elsewhere that they do upon the least illness and indisposition of Body apply themselves unto this choise Remedy either the same night or the next morning or both for this Drink is experienced a choise Antidote for preventing of Surfeits insensibly stealing upon men and expelling out of the Body that malignant Matter which is the occasion and rise thereof PESTILENCE LEt the Patient when first smitten with his Visitation or with Illness accompanied with any symptom of the Distemper regard being had to the direction of the three general Observations take three spoonfuls or less of this Drink according to the Patients strength or weakness of Body and so proceed as occasion shall require and I question not but through mercy the same will be found an effectual means as well for overcoming the Distemper as for strengthening Nature and restoring Health unless the Patients Visitation be the Messenger of Death which Benefit has been happily experienced and will be attested by divers persons in my own and other Families which stayed in the City in the time of the last great Visitation and were Visited and yet through God's goodness do still remain in the Land of the Living Fits of the Mother and Vapours from the Spleen LEt the Patient having regard to the direction of the general Observations begin with one or with two Spoonfuls of this Drink and so continue or raise the Dose according to what the Patients strength may admit remembring that the greatest Dose prescribed is not to exceed three Spoonfuls and let the proper Dose be taken at any time whatsoever when the Fitt is found to be coming upon him or her WHen Women either by reason of taking Cold or any other accident find an Obstruction of their Courses though it be in Child-bed give them three spoonfuls of this drink at any time either of night or day and through Gods Blessing they will find all in good order again of which excellent virtue in this Drink divers Women and my own Wife when in Child-bed have found comfortable experiences and will attest the same to others GREEN-SICKNESS LEt the Patient duly observe the direction of the three general Observations using as much stirring Exercise as strength will permit and in four days time she will by the Blessing of God find her Distemper diminish and in taking of an half pint Bottle the Cheeks and Lips will return to their former Rose-colour CHILDRENS Distempers FOr CHILDRENS DISTEMPERS whether the Worms Rickets the Stone Convulsions Gripes Kings-Evil Joynt Evil or any Distemper proceeding from Wind or Crudities engendred by means of undigested Matter the effect of their cold and weak Stomachs which is the grand and original cause of these their distempers The way of administring this drink must be in this manner to a Babe of a month-old give in time of its affliction half a Child's Spoonful thereof mixed with double the quantity of small Ale not exceeding this Dose nor oftner than once in 12 hours time To a Babe of half a year old let the Dose be half a middling spoonful o● the Drink with double the quantity of small Ale To one of a year old one spoonful with the likequantity of small Ale To a Child of four years one spoonful of the Drink alone To one of seven years old two spoonfuls and to one of 12 years old two spoonfuls and an half in any of these Distempers not exceeding one Dose in 12 hours except only in the Gripes and then one Dose every five hours where observe that in most of these Distempers it hath pleased God so to bless this means that two Doses have been found successful to Babes and Children Here note that the strength of the Child and of its Distemper will be a more sure Guide for proportioning a proper Dose than the Child's Age. The Stone in Babes and Children ANd if the Distemper be the Stone observe the same directions in administring this Drink to Babes and Children of all Ages as is above prescribed for those under other Distempers except only that Distemper of the Gripes and this Drink gradually wasts the Stone and turns Stones to Gravel bringing them away as soft as Meal and brings away Worms as skins it also brings away a flimy substance some black some green the cause of these Distempers which manifold experience hath fully confirmed Convulsion-Fits Moreover it hath also been experienced that unto a Child of seven years old afflicted with the Gripes or Convulsion Fits in extremity there hath been found necessary the same Dose as for a Man being three spoonfuls and five hours after the like Dose Consumptions bad Digestions LEt Consumptive Persons of either Sex take one spoonful of this Drink an hour before Dinner and another such Dose an hour after Dinner for many weak Consumptive Persons have through the Lords Blessing experienced the same very successful in strengthening weak Nature converting their food into good nourishment and instrumental in restoring their strength Agues LEt the Patient an hour before the expected time of the Fitt take three Spoonfuls being at what time soever and two spoonful six hours after which done let the Patient observe the Directions of the second general Observation Piles LEt the person afflicted diligently follow the Direction in the second general Observation it having been lately found to be successful FINIS

strength of Body And it having pleased God so highly to own my Endeavours and crown my Medicine with so eminent and incredible success in the Cure of divers People afflicted with the Distempers herein specified some malevolent and mercenary Persons do endeavour the counterfeiting of it to the great prejudice and peril of sundry people these are therefore to give notice That whosoever in this City or Suburbs or elsewhere not named in this Book shall undertake the Sale of any Cordial Drink called by my Drink 's Name and the Bottles and Books not sealed as this Book the same I do aver to be a Counterfeit though the Name of my Drink and my own and others many Years Experiences of the Vertues of it be impudently stollen nigh word for word DIRECTION Given by me ANTHONY DAFFY Student in Physic For taking my safe innocent and successful CORDIAL DRINK ELIXIR SALVTIS Proper to the Cure of each Distemper in the Printed Sheet of its Virtues mentioned and suited unto the Patients several Ages Sexes and Constitutions The first general Observation FOr such persons as are opprest with Chronical Distempers whether the Gout Stone Collick Ptissick Dropsie c. and have divers Years been tortured and bowed down under the burden of them I say for Distempers habitual to and radicated in the Body it cannot rationally be expected that this by any Means under Heaven may on a suddain effect their Cure any more than that a small shower of rain after a long season or Summers drought should presently revive the parched and dying flowers and herbs of the field and restore them to their lively verdure and greenness To persons therefore infected with these Chronical Distempers and disposed to use the means of this my Drink I give this advice that they take the same according to the ensuing particular Directions and patiently wait upon the Almighty Physician of Soul and Body for his Blessing and I doubt not but they as well as others have done will find very much releif at least by ease of their pains if not the perfect cure of their disease which some Aged persons have happily experienced Moreover let not the Patients having taken this Drink impatiently expect its operation or working with them on a suddain for experience hath found that on some Bodies it is 6 hours on some 8 and on some 12 hours before it works and in most Distempers its operation is so gentle and moderate that the Patients may with safety follow their business and occasions either at home or abroad The second general Observation LEt the Patient afflicted with any of the Distempers in the Book of my Cordials Virtues mentioned have a due regard to the state and condition of his or her Body if the Body be Costive as most generally persons under such distempers are let the first dose if the age and strength of nature will permit be three Spoonfuls at the Patients going to Bed and the like Dose at the up-rising in the Morning But in case the Body be Laxative then let the first dose over-night be one Spoonful and another at the up-rising in the Morning and so let the Dose be increased by one Spoonful each time if the Patients strength may admit till it comes to three Spoonfuls which without good advise none is to exceed In taking the same let the Patient use as much exercise and stirring as strength of Body may admit Here likewise observe the Patient ought to avoid Melancholy and keep a good Dyet and it is convenient to take a mess of Broth or something warm an hour after the Mornings Dose which is found more proper than Posset-Ale The third general Observation THis Drink hath been many Years experienced so innocent and sure in it's operation that it may be safely taken at any season of the year for neither heat nor cold can obstruct its beneficial operation on the Body Moreover this Drink will retain its Virtue though kept two years together as divers persons have found but I suppose it may be kept much longer Another Virtue and innate propriety of this Drink distinguishing it from all other Physick whatsoever is that at the Patients leaving off the same the Patients Body remains not Costive but in a very good healthful temper and lightsome condition The GOVT LEt the Patient having competent strength of Nature take three Spoonfuls of this Elixir in the Morning fasting and the like Dose last at Night the which course must be followed so long as the Patients strength of Body will bear it and especially if the Pains be found to move from one joynt to another I advise the Patient to be active and use as much stirring exercise as conveniently may be Here note That after four Doses or twelve Spoonfuls taking the Patient may if the same be found to work five or six times in a day intermit a day and then return to the Drink taking then two Spoonfuls in the Morning one spoonful an hour before Dinner and two Spoonfuls last at Night but let not the Patient finding not his expectation answered on a sudden lay aside the further use of this Choice Remedy for although some have been Cured of this torturing malady in taking out of one half-pint Bottle of this Drink yet some require a Pint and others more according as the Disease hath more or less seated and riveted it self into the Body The Stone or Gravel in the Kidneys IF the Patients pain lye most either in the Reins or the Flank it is an Indication whereby he or she may conclude the Malady is the Stone or Gravel in the Kidneys then the Patients age and strength of Nature admitting let him or her take the first Dose or three Spoonfuls last at Night and first in the Morning and presently after it use as much stirring exercise as may be and although Riding may at that time be burthensom yet it would prove very profitable and advantagious for by using extraordinary exercises and agitations of the Body divers have been far sooner discharged of this tortucing Distemper as hath been experienced by Mr. Crawley in the printed Sheet of the vertues of this Drink who by taking but three Spoonfuls of this Drink and riding ten Miles upon it voided three Stones each as big as a Horse-bean as he himself testifieth STONE in the Bladder LEt the Patient afflicted with the Stone in the Bladder consider the bigness of it and take the full Dose of three Spoonfuls last at Night and the like first in the Morning continuing the same for three days then intermit two days and return to it then taking only two Spoonfuls last at Night and the like Dose first in the Morning which course let the Patient observe and by the Lords Blessing the Stone will be found to wast gradually and in conclusion to come away but Patience is to be exercised for although Thomas Hinde voided away the Stone in nine Spoonfuls or three Doses taking yet that great Stone
