The Child of Mr. John Sereitt at the upper end of Sea-Alley in Kings-street Westminster being pin'd away with a Consumption and Rickets to Skin and Bones being above two years of Age and could not bear any strength to stand and people thought it was impossible for that Child to be recovered however with God's blessing he is as brave a Boy as any about London And whereas there are sick and diseased Children in the Womb that die before they are born or soon after besides it doth indanger the Womans Life also This is to let you know that I Cure Children before they are born and preserve the Womans Life and Health also And if Children have the same symptoms as aforesaid they may take from one year old one Pill and so many years old so many Pills as they are years old till they come to twenty Pills And so they which are three or fourscore years of Age may take twenty You are not to give Children any thing but Milk before they put forth their Foreteeth but after the Foreteeth are come forth let the Child by little and little be accustomed to chewing and use flesh minced very small with Bread which with a little chewing may be swallow'd easily and abstain sucking the Brest for at least an hour after eating lest the Milk being mixed in the Stomach with the other Meats and too long kept there be corrupted for I have observed that Children are scarce ever troubled with Worms while they use Milk alone I can with God's help save the lives of thousands of Children that may dye breeding Teeth and do it for small charge if the Parents are but willing I cure all sorts of Blindness curable without putting any thing into the Eyes I cure the Scald or Leprous Head without pain or loss of a hair of the Head All sorts of Deafness curable All sorts of Sores though the Bones be rotten THe Scarvies breed a Gonorrhea and so will hard drinking smoaking Tobacco and late sitting up at nights and a Gonorrhea will breed a Consumption of the Reins and Kidneys and this Consumption will breed a Catarrh which is known by a sharp tickling in the Throat which is a briny Rheum distilling down from the Brain but comes from the whole mass of Blood being corrupted and made thin and sharp and when it hath much Ulcerated the Lungs the best things in the World will not cure and that is known by much Coughing and Spitting Ropy Flegm in the night time the loss of natural rest the appetite bad and strength decaying being heavy and melancholy and little comfort in any thing and the flesh wasting away the mass of Blood is all naught the Bodies of most all raw on the inside from the Throat to the neck of the Blader and further in some so all the Art is to take away all the corruption out of the mass of Blood and to make it pure and good and to heal all the inward parts and then the work is done I do it in the hardest times of Winter or Summer the Catarrh goeth speedily off and all pains soon after that then comes a good appetite with all manner of comfort as formerly but you must not give off taking things till you find some other symptoms gone as well as the former which is foulness and greasiness of the Urine and when it coms to be of a clear wholsome colour you are well But beware lest you come too late therefore to prevent this Mortal Distemper so soon as you find a tickling in your Throat make haste and come to me and I under God will help you for small charge but if you stay till the foresaid symptoms appear you cannot without much difficulty be cured I help all sorts of Ruptures and Burstenness in Men Women and Children and keep a Truss-maker on purpose to make Trusses fit for them otherwise they cannot be cured I do not hinder them of doing any business but give present ease and they go more comfortably about their business But do not believe them that say they can cure without a Truss for they will but cheat you of your Money I have not seen any Trusses so good as those which I have made I do not get one peny by them I cure the Ague for five shillings and every one that I miss doing the Cure I will give them ten shillings I do more Cure for a Crown or an Angel than you can have done at many places for forty shillings How Men may preserve Health ANd first of Tobacco it is hot and dry and therefore it may be good for gross Phlegmatick Bodies which are cold and moist so they take it moderatly But for a thin Cholerick Man which is by nature hot and dry Tobacco is the Plague of the whole Body and the best fruit it bringeth forth is a kind of madness Also keep good hours going to bed forbear hard drinking which kills as sure as a Gun though not so quick and when you are at Dinner or Supper rather rise with an appetite than loathing of Meat Walk moderately and what-ever you do vex not your mind with care and troubles of the World for it will breed many Diseases and eat out the Body like a Canker-Worm And knowing that though we are alive and well to day we may be dead to morrow therefore I think he doth well that considers his latter end The true Receit as it was given to me of the Everlasting Cordial Drink Water or Spirits which the Cheats have cryed up to cure all Diseases Take Spirit of Wine one Gallon Senna two pound bruise it a little and put it into the Spirit of Wine for the space of forty eight hours then strain out the Senna
