this_o opportunity_n to_o communicate_v to_o you_o what_o wonderful_a virtue_n i_o have_v find_v in_o the_o root_n call_v hypepocoanha_n which_o have_v do_v such_o wonder_n in_o france_n and_o

its_o balsamic_a property_n heal_v and_o comfort_v the_o bowel_n and_o repair_v those_o breach_n which_o the_o enemy_n have_v make_v i_o know_v a_o old_a gentleman_n who_o fall_v into_o a_o

in_o all_o his_o liquid_a alliment_n and_o he_o find_v wonderful_a relief_n and_o recover_v health_n and_o strength_n a_o young_a man_n who_o be_v miserable_o afflict_v with_o frequent_a return_n of_o

indian_a drug_n into_o the_o form_n of_o tincture_n spirit_n and_o extract_n be_v to_o preserve_v their_o virtue_n which_o else_o be_v apt_a to_o perish_v and_o decay_n by_o time_n and_o change_n of_o climate_n this_o root_n be_v not_o without_o the_o approbation_n of_o good_a authority_n of_o traveller_n and_o physician_n a_o famous_a doctor_n in_o scotland_n write_v i_o a_o letter_n of_o some_o great_a cure_n he_o have_v wrought_v with_o it_o among_o child_n who_o be_v bring_v unto_o the_o brink_n of_o the_o grave_a by_o looseness_n and_o gripe_n in_o the_o gut_n it_o have_v carry_v off_o all_o that_o green_a choler_n wherewith_o they_o be_v extreme_o molest_v and_o thereby_o prevent_v many_o distemper_n cause_v thereby_o i_o know_v a_o gentlewoman_n who_o be_v bring_v into_o a_o

her_o bowel_n which_o may_v be_v the_o occasion_n of_o her_o frequent_a relapse_n i_o give_v her_o drop_n draw_v out_o of_o this_o sovereign_a root_n sometime_o in_o wine_n and_o water_n and_o sometime_o in_o milk_n and_o water_n and_o she_o quick_o recover_v and_o have_v have_v no_o return_n of_o her_o distemper_n many_o month_n i_o can_v give_v twenty_o more_o instance_n of_o cure_n wrought_v by_o this_o remedy_n but_o these_o i_o think_v be_v sufficient_a for_o any_o physician_n to_o make_v trial_n of_o it_o when_o the_o vulgar_a method_n fail_v but_o some_o man_n will_v not_o think_v it_o for_o their_o interest_n to_o approve_v of_o what_o they_o do_v prescribe_v themselves_o but_o i_o take_v you_o to_o be_v a_o man_n of_o more_o honesty_n and_o candour_n and_o design_n more_o to_o do_v good_a than_o to_o get_v money_n i_o very_o well_o remember_v that_o sir_n charles_n scarborough_n tell_v i_o that_o a_o physician_n in_o france_n have_v do_v great_a cure_n with_o
