Alwaies yours George Wethery A True Relation made by me Elias Holmes of the manifold vertues of Master Doctor Anthonies Aurum Potabile tryed by the command of the right honourable Edmund Lord Sheffield Lord President of Yorke THe wife of Iohn Goulsbrough seruant to my Lord lay very sicke sundry daies before my Lord had knowledge thereof Then was I sent vnto her whom I found languishing and in great extremitie Shee was greatly sweld in her bodie and had also a loosenesse so that it past from her almost vnknowing to her And further she was greatly distempered in heat She had taken no manner sustenance for 4. or 5. daies before whereby shee was growne so weake that shee could not mooue her body but as she was helpt by others Also her eyes were greatly swelled her speech could not be heard the length of the bed shee desired nothing but drinke taking no rest neither night nor day The first spoonfull that I gaue her did shew small effect whilst I was with her which was some houre but they which attended her said that some two houres after it made her rist and to voide a little water of her Stomacke At euening I gaue her one other spoonfull and before I could seale vp the glasse she was in a little slumber but it continued not long Neuerthelesse shee felt so much ease at her Stomack that she said What is this that my good Lord hath sent me for I giue God thankes I feele much ease towards that I did with that she prayed hartily for my Lord And both her speech and countenance seemed better then before Then about one of the clock at midnyght she fell asleepe and slept two houres The next morning I gaue her the third spoonfull and after that she cast a little and in her casting she tooke cold which caused her to cough and made her so ill and weake that I thought my laboure was all lost Her loosenes also held her still But it pleased God to giue such a blessing vnto this Medicine that after the taking of 4. or 5. spoonfull more her flux was staide her strength also recouered in such sort that she was able to sit vpright in her bed and to receiue sustenance Also after three spoonful more shee could endure to haue her clothes put on and with a little helpe to walke vp and downe the Chamber Shee tooke in all 13. spoonfuls Then did she acknowledge that shee was perfectly well giuing God thankes therefore And to me shee said Now Master Holmes I pray you spare your further labour c. THomas Taylor one of my Lords houshold seruants about the same time in the former yeere had an extraordinary Maligne feuer of long A quotidian maligne feuer continuance He was a very able and strong man Neuerthelesse it had so weakned him that he was seantly able to goe vpright He could endure to take no sustenance for a long time Often times also as a mad man he would arise out of his bed in the night season and lye downe on the floore and there lie vntill some body came by chance to helpe him This yeare he likewise fell into the same Infirmity by all signes and tokens His first fit continued sixe houres with such violent paine at his heart that he was enforced to cry out My Lord was not willing that

Art prepared Her passions still continued if not encreased Continuall vomiting and reiection of whatsoeuer she tooke meate drink medicines with swoundings torture torments of euery part of her body A miserable and pitifull spectacle much lamented of many very honourable persons Shee could not rest nor sleepe night nor day So that sinking vnder the burden of this affliction with the violence and continuance thereof her strength vtterly failed Shee could not retaine so much as one drop of any broth or other nourishment Her Stomacke by coniecture of all Physitions was drawen together and shut vp without any power or faculty to performe the offices of nature In this miserable estate this distressed gentlewoman languished two whole monthes without any ease or releefe by the vse of any the Medicines giuen her by the aduise of the said Physitions all things tending to a more desperate and Immedicable estate Whereupon the mother of this gentlewoman demanded of these said Doctors whether they had any hope to giue helpe or at least wise ease to her daughter else she said she would send for Doctor Anthony Those Doctors hereupon limited themselues to a certaine time which they spent in their vttermost habilities to perform to the intēt I shold not be called To which purpose they commanded an Apothecary to attend in the Chamber of the patient all the next day and night and euery third houre to giue her a Cordiall Then voluntarily they said to the mother Send for Doct. Anthony if you will and God send him good successe with your daughter Then was I sent for and finding this gentlewoman in so desperate a case left and giuen ouer by all the Doctors of the Colledge as not to be recouered for besides the aduise of these Six there had beene publike consultations in the Colledge as is requisite in such like cases which sildome come in vse I desired God to blesse my endeauours and to continue his blessings in the administration of this my happy medicine After a small time vpon due and mature consideration of all things I gaue her at the first not a whole spoonfull of my Aurum potabile as in other cases but much lesse scarce a quarter so much which she cast vp againe with a vehement force and torture of her body A little while after I gaue her as much more which she cast vp in the same manner as she did the first Againe I gaue it the third time some part of which shee also cast vp but kept some with a kind of strife or conflict betweene the medicine and the maladie Then I aduised that she should not further be troubled for a season but to try if shee could now take a little rest or sleepe So she disposed her selfe thereunto and slept soundly a whole houre which diuers of great account then present can witnesse For she snored that we all heard Which seemed strange to all considering for a long time before shee had taken no rest When she waked she said that she found her selfe somewhat better at ease Then which was the fourth time I gaue her halfe a spoonful which she kept without any contending or trouble to her body This gaue me and many worthy gentlewomen there present great hope of a good recouerie Wherein God be praised we were not deceiued For in all the other administring of this Medicine orderly as she was able to beare increasing the quantitie her spirits were releeued she daily recouered strength all the passions symptomes and accidents of her diseases ceased her sicknesse fully left her and she recouered perfect health Thus with the vse of this happy Medicine this gentlewoman was recouered and cured of that dangerous disease wherein those other Doctors had wearied themselues and forsaken her at which her friends wondred mine reioyced and other malicious aduersaries fretted for which God be praised If they will call these the effects of Iugling and of a corrosiue Medicine they will hardly finde any Cordiall amongst all their Dispensatories and Magistrall prescriptions The cause and effect are Essentiall Relatiues THe Lady and wife of Sir Francis Leake Knight Continuall vomiting and destillation of Reume continuing many moneths being now conceiued of her first childe was fallen into many infirmities Shee had a continuall and abundant slux at her mouth caused by collection of phlegmaticke and pituitous humors Also a continuall vomiting and casting euer after any food taken Her flux ceased not neither day nor night She was brought to that weaknes leannesse in her body that al her friends thought she was in a consumption During the time of this sicknes which was fiue moneths she vsed many medicines in hope of remedy but found none And therefore iustly feared eyther miscarying her trauell or the losse of her owne life Whereupon by the perswasion of some friends which knew right well the efficacie of my Potable gold she tooke therof the third month before the time of her deliuery and at seuerall times continued the vse of it By which meanes her vomiting flux of spitting ceased she recouered strength and good habit and all the rest of the time of her childe bearing continued in very good health and disposition And in due time was deliuered of a faire and strong Sonne which is yet liuing THe Lady and wife of Sir Edward Barret knight Perill in childbirth and sister to the forenamed Lady being in trauell of childbirth in such hazard and extremities of hard labour that both her Midwiues all other there present despaired both of safety and life of mother and child by counsell of a great Ladie then in my chamber tooke of my Potable gold and beyond the expectation of them all was presently deliuered of a child in good liking But the after burden stayed which in that weakenesse made them feare the like danger Therefore they gaue her the same Medicine againe by which the after burden followed she recouered and did well THis Medicine hath likewise bin happy and succesfull to very many others Weomen in like cases euen after the childe hath beene dead in their bodies and they giuen ouer in their last extremities So that it is scarse possible to finde any Medicine to match this in such cases whereof I will set downe a few examples THe wife of Ioseph Pemberton Haberdasher of Ipswich Childbirth in the Countie of Suffolke was deliuered by meanes of this Potable gold being in great extremitie and danger by reason of her hard labour THe wife of Master Oratio Paluasino was recouered Childbirth by the same Medicine beeing in great danger through

Medicine so secure from danger so powerfull in corroborating the Heart and expelling the venemous malignitie of that Disease had beene at hand and had beene administred in due time and forme no doubt but the vertue expulsiue being fortified in the patient and the materiall venenositie subtiliated if not all yet some of them might by this only Medicine haue beene recouered As the vse hereof hath preuented death in many so likewise very many wanting the benefit thereof in the flowre of their age perished which haue vsed purgatiue Medicines whose propertie is to draw malignant humors from the

vp by vomit whatsoeuer shee receiued Neither could this be stayed by any Medicine ministred vnto her All meanes failing my Aurum Potabile staied this extremitie And after taking thereof shee likewise tooke any manner of other sustenance and retained the same Hereby it may appeare that this one and the same Medicine doth sometime procure vomit when nature would be vnburdened and at other times it suppresseth vomit when nature is so infeebled that it would faine retaine nutriment for sustentation but cannot MAster Napper Esquire dwelling in Oxford 60. yeares of age was long time perplexed with

beene taken with that Country feuer One especially amongst the rest a woman hauing chiefe gouernment ouer the family was so grieuously afflicted therewith that her senses were taken from her and other such like accidents so oppressed her that there remained small hope of life Yet it pleased God that both shee and the rest in short time were recouered although the Agues of those parts doe commonly continue long as also in one part of Kent where many haue beene releeued by my Aurum Potabile after that all other meanes haue failed MAster Doctor Sauage Doctor of the Ciuill Lawes Essex Ague 56.

free from his ague But afterwards he fell into the like feuer againe as also into those former Convulsions which could not by any helpe of Medicine be asswaged vntill he was inforced to send vnto me
