the utmost strength and virtue of my best Cordials could be enabled to go through with this Conflict Hereupon immediately I put into his hands near upon three quarters of a pint of Salus to take of it continually as much as he pleas'd which liking him very well he followed it to purpose sleeping very soundly for two hours together and waking chearful and full of hope Upon this also upon little Coughings he brought up large quantities of a thick ropy flegm like whites of Eggs which hardly parted from his mouth by plucking and this frequently both night and Day During all which time he took very large quantities of Radix Salus Vindex Arcanum and the rest forementioned sleeping conveniently and waking without sadness or sickishness And upon a suddain seem'd to himself so well and couragious that I wishing him to forbear speech and Dispose himself to rest he laught at me and told me if I would not otherwise be convinc't he would rise and come home to me I wish't him rather to believe me than himself and towards night he should try his strength in sitting up for his refreshment so I quieted him but so that he would have a Chicken prepared for his Supper So when time came his fancy helpt him to rise pretty heartily and with a little help to move near the fire where he would fain have been well and cal'd for his Diet but alas could not endure the smell nor swallow one bit but changed in a moment and so hasts to bed where finding himself somewhat refresh'd was not discouraged but said he perceived he must have patience awhile so within a Day and a Night after his Flegm began to cease his head quieted his thirst slak't his mouth and tongue and throat clear'd and his appetite c●ept gently upon him and able to rise and sit up two and three hours together and to bed without faintness and so in less then fourteen days from the beginning he perfectly recovered For no sooner was the venom of the Distemper subdued but his strength came on amain immediately having not had any thing done to weaken him by either Bleeding Purging Vomiting Blistering or the like as in such Dangerous Cases is usual and to be often repeated So this was the strange end of his small Pox being by the mighty Efficacy of those Medicines forced upward and cast out and though he purged no● at all but as Cordials which he took every night after for a week at least purged him yet no ill effect followed unless the peeling of his hands and feet should be taken for one which indeed witnesseth rather the poisonous quality of the distemper and powerful benignity of the Medicine then any remnants or reliques of malignity And as this through Gods mercy thus happily ended so should all the advantages received by this Family from these Medicines Were there no other they might very well pass for a currant testimony that they very well deserve in a most signal sense to be stiled True and Real Physick for Families as I am sure they are always ready to testifie 50. A young Gentlewoman very big with-child upon taking Cold was so extremely afflicted with continual violent Coughing that her friends thought it impossible but she must miscarry but being well acquainted with these Medicines every time she cought she took a good sup of Radix vitae which amounted to above a pint in one night and so quitted her self both of her fear trouble and danger and this without any the least shadow of inconvenience ensuing either by burning drying or binding And if this be not an undoubted witness both of their safety and efficacy the most diffident being Judges let no evidence henceforth be of any repute amongst Practitioners 51.
