faintness and a general indisposition and lassitude upon her lost her colour came to the waters last Summer took my advice had only one easie fit and no more all the time she staid which was about fourteen dayes recovered the ferment of her stomach got a good appetite and what she took digested well gathered strength so as she could walk well her fainting was gone she was chearful got a good colour and returned home in very good health and continued so for I saw her Father about six weeks after who acquainted me his daughter continued very well The third MR. G. Blackaller Rector of Etton in York-shire had been troubled with a double Quartan for the space of nine moneths together with some symptoms of the Scurvy which appeared in ●ed spots in all the musculous parts of the body He went to Scarbrough and at the very beginning his fits lessened and staying three weeks he found a perfect cure and had not the least symptomps of either for five years after I have often known saith Doctor Wittie inveterate Quartans cured by it and other sorts of Agues also which have long resisted Medicines have been conquered by the use hereof in a short time And for taking away the reliques of all inveterate Agues those oftentimes tedious chronical diseases and of the small-Pox and other diseases preventing relapses these waters are of admirable efficacy The Jaundies THis disease as to its causes chiefly depends upon obstructions of the bilious vessels leading into the Intestines whereby that noble juyce as an auxiliary ferment assists in the performances of the offices in the second Digestion by agitating fermenting and further preparing the chiliferous juyce transmitted from the stomach helping the due separation and percolation of the milky juyce into the lacteals disseminated along the Intestines in order to a future Sanguification gives colour to the recrements irritating the Peristaltick motion of the spiral guts in order to cleansing work viz. the seclusion of excrements This I say being obstructed in its passage flows by other vessels into the mass of blood whose crasis it vitiates by giving it a high Saffron Tincture which nature partly in capilary veins throws into the habit of the body witness the Saffron dye of all external parts and partly dischargeth it as dissolved in the serum or latex of the blood by the emulgents into the urinary vessels whence the height of its Saffron tincture both which together with the unseparable symptoms of an universal lassitude indisposition shortness of breath and faintness are the general as well as certain indexes of the Jaundies Wherefore it is found by observation the nursery of knowledge that those Medicines which do open obstructions are most prevalent in the cure hereof amongst which those who abound most with a fixed or volatile alcalie or partake of apperial Mineral Salts are most effectual especially if a good round-working-purge precede or that they be taken along with some proper purgative Now that these waters as fraught Mineral apperient Salts are with some additional helps adequate remedies for this and other Diseases arising from obstructions yea even sometimes the waters alone orderly taken let their efficacy in these few following instances declare to the world The First Cure SR John Legards Lady of Gauton within a few miles of Scarbrough had a Jaundice that long resisted remedies in a rational method and was perfectly cured by the Spaw in a few dayes being thereto recommended by another Lady who had experienced a cure in the same Disease This was consented to by her Physician Doctor Arnold The Second Cure MR. W. Hodgson Mimister of Scarbrough was for the space of six years ever and anon falling into the Jaundies especially Spring and Fall Nay one time it continued upon him almost all the year notwithstanding his endeavours after a cure after he was setled at Scarbrough he found a perfect cure by the Spaw The Third Cure MAdam Elizabeth Strickland of Boynton in York-Shire after the small-Pox fell into a Feaver after that relapsed into a Tertian Ague which terminated in the Jaundies after which probably as an inveterate symptom followed a most grievous griping pain at the Stomach and Back which seized on her by fits sometimes a month or two betwixt one another accompanied with a vomiting up of whatsoever she took and after every fit her whole body would be as yellow as Gold She had also a fulness and tension at Stomach and upon the region of the Liver that she could not indure it to be touched nor could lie upon the right side It had resisted all rational means that could be used till the season of the year coming on Dr. Wittie whose account this is advised her Lady-ship to drink the waters and fitted her with Medicines both preparative and concomitant which she did for fourteen dayes with very much benefit being then almost half gone with Child notwithstanding after some months the fits returned as before so as the next Summer she drank the waters again though at Boynton twelve miles from Scarbrough she was again somewhat better But the Winter following had most violent returns of her fits The next year the Doctor advised her to drink them at the Fountain and to stay longer which she did for three weeks and then after a months intermission to send for fresh water every day and drink ten dayes at home her Ladiship being then young with Child yet without any harm upon that account since which she had God be thanked no more fits it being when this was writ almost two years after but was as healthful as in all her life before The Fourth Cure MR. Palar of Nun-Nountain in York-Shire was during his abode in the Southern parts much afflicted with the Jaundies having the symptoms which usually attend that Disease consulted Doctor Dickenson who then lived at Oxford but is now an eminent Physician in London whose advice was to get him down into his own country and to drink the waters of Scarbrough which he judged the best and most certain cure for him whither accordingly he applied himself and in not many dayes was perfectly cured I shall only add somewhat remarkable concerning a Country man who had the Jaundies highly complicated with the Scurvy with a great stiffness in his joynts so as he could not stoop but with great pain and trouble one day I ordered him a few doses of volatile Spirits to be taken in his waters upon which he found so great an alteration as that he could that very day to the admiration of those who were by stoop to the ground with much ease and if I mistake not played at pennystone upon the Sands The Dropsie THe next Disease in order is the Dropsie which although at the first prospect it may seem contradictory to reason that the drinking of waters should be effectual for the curing that Disease which chiefly consists in a flood of watery latex already heaped up in the mass of

much cause to suspect a Dropsie It had resisted Medicines till coming to the waters which she drank fourteen days her belly fell and and she shortly after conceived with Child Worms THE causes of Worms are chiefly ascribable first to the debilitude of the ferments and next to the depravation and putrefaction of the nutritive juyces chiefly residing in the Stomach and Guts which two causes joyntly considered are doubtless the seminaries of worms and wormatick matter For we see that Worms happen generally in Children where the ferments are not strong and whose nutritive juyces are hence apt to grow putrid and prone to a spurious animation if I may so say the generation of worms being a bastardly product or off-set springing from depraved vital seeds animating a degenerate putrid matter These without peradventure are many times the causes of several Diseases attended with bad symptoms even in adult persons whose original frequently lies in obscurity and hence are apt to be mistaken for other diseases That these waters expell worms and wormatick degenerate matter both as it strengthens the ferments helps digestion and likewise resists putrefaction will partly be evident from the few following instances The First Cure RIchard Legard Esq had been many years troubled with small worms which we call Ascarides for which he had taken good advice and used several remedies yet never found any so successfull as these waters which brought from him to his best judgment above five hundred in a day and in a few days quit him both of the Worms and the matter that bred them The second cure MR. G. Watson of Throshenby near Scarbrough was grievously afflicted with Melancholick fumes which exceedingly clouded his understanding and possessed him with fears and fancies taking away his sleep for many weeks together so as he was become a meer Skelleton and so feeble that he was not able to walk but was carried about in arms during which time he had nevertheless an incredible appetite accompanied with a gnawing pain at his Stomach the cause of which distemper was not easily discerned till after some time he began to void a sort of flat worms about an inch long empty as if they had been nothing but a skin applying himself to the waters he voided sometimes thirty or forty in a day and in a little time found perfect cure all symptoms abating and his appetite returning to its regular course Womens Diseases WOmens Diseases peculiarly so called are such as properly belong to the womb and to its Regimen and irregularities which chiefly either proceed from the obstructions of the Matrix whereby the redundant superfluous blood to be separated according to the due course of nature in the forms of the Menses flows back floats in the containing vessels in this or the other part whom with its plenty it stretcheth whence as an aliquid amplius a turgescence and plethory and the symptoms thence following or proceed from a debilitude of the womb whereby the blood becomes drained away in too great quantities whence Lypothymia's Faintings Swoonings c. As to the former in order to the better understanding of what the obstructions of the womb are and what the effects thence ensuing towards a right apprehension I say whereof we shew in our Hydrolog Chym. what the Menstrua are the manner of their Generation their use in nature their lunar and critical seasons of Evacuation and how from their obstruction arise a Plethora besides what happens at every natural and critical Evacuation and how the effects of which if setling in the head are usually if internal Megrim Dizziness or pain in the head or if external are pustles in the face redness and soreness of eyes swelling of the face c. if in other places thence tumors erratick pains and how from the restagnation of the blood through the aforesaid obstructions in the Bronchys of the Lungs happen indispositions dulness and sluggishness of the body shortness of breath oppression of the Precordia or upper mouth of the Stomach c. concerning all which I say we treat in our Hydrolog Chym. p. 125. 126. c. to which we refer We shall only here add that the waters by their connate Salts are by matter of fact found not only proper for opening obstructions and consequently adapted for the helping such Diseases and Symptoms as thence depend viz. the Green-sickness in Maids the fits of the Mother and symptoms thence arising But also by observation are found as effectual by its gentle astingency to repress the overflowings both white and red whose floods otherwise bring on Lypothymia's Faintings Swoonings c. For though it be an apperient water yet with other proper advisable helps it is found by experience notably to stay the immoderate Fluxes of Women As to the First the waters with other additional helps are powerful in opening as I said obstructions the Minera or source of womens Maladies makes the blood well to circulate and duly to pay its Lunar or Monethly tribute causing right separations to be made whereby their shortness of breath leave them their listlesness and indisposedness goes off and all other bad symptomes aforesaid disappear their appetite and digestion comes on grow vigorous well complexioned get a good colour for what they do making them look of a ruddy and fresh complexion where nature her self thus assisted begins to paint whose colours being only contempered by an invisible pencil are not only most lively but also durable and consequently if other features conspire the best and most taking And withal to such as are apt to miscarry they notably strengthen the retentive faculty of the womb helping such to go on to their time And that it takes away some causes of barrenness being frequently found to further conception both in those who having been long married never conceived and in such as after many years of intermission near past all hopes of more children In both which cases let the following Instances serve for the rest Prolifickness of the Waters or Instances of the waters efficacy towards helping of conception The first Case MR. Th. St. Quintin of Flambrough in York-shire and his Wife were seven years and an half married during which time she had never conceived upon the report of the efficacy and vertue of the waters he brought her to Scarbrough where she drank fourteen dayes within a month after she conceived and brought forth a Son Then having an interruption for four years he brought her to the waters again After a fortnight or three weeks that she had left the waters she conceived again and brought forth a Daughter both which at the first writing hereof were living and healthful Children The Second Case MRs. Elizabeth Turner of Hutton-Pagnel in York-shire whose cure of the Dropsie by the waters is formerly mentioned shortly after which she conceived with Child and brought forth a Son having had no child before of seven years The Third Case MRS. Elizabeth Smith of Scremerston in the
