sometimes meet with a very lucky one which yields great Satisfaction and in some sort compensates for the labour of the Brain and for their being jostled in a Crowd II. They must avoid high Feeding and hard Drinking and Venery upon Pain of Death I treat of Nature that 's my Province and it would be as great a Crime in me to conceal any Violence offer'd to her as it would be for a Judge to stifle plain Evidence of a Rape But when there is a great Dejection of the Spirits and a general Languor thro' the whole Body the Conversation of Women rightly understood is a greater Cordial than can be found in the vegetable Kingdom of Herbs or than the celebrated Elixirs of Chymists or their Potable Gold III. To fortifie the principal Parts and to prevent the striking in of the Gout they must take often of my excellent Electuary for the Gout especially in Winter IV. They must go to Bed early drink Green Tea in the Morning eat moderately what they like at Dinner except Salted Smoak'd Bak'd or Spic'd Meats and drink a Glass or two of some strong Wine the Supper if any must be small V. The first Days in the Fits they must abstain from Flesh and keep their Beds and if the Pain be intolerable they may take 6 Spoonfuls of my Water for the Gout at Bed-time But they must bear as much Pain as is possible for the Pain in the Limbs secures the Life tho' it be a bitter Remedy VI. When the Gout is fallen in upon the Stomach and causes racking Pains they must presently take my Water for the Gout to drive it out again as above directed VII When the Gout is striken in upon the Bowels and causes a Looseness and Gripes they must take my Sweating Bolus two or three Days Morning and Evening to provoke Sweat for 2 Hours at a time VIII When the Gout in striken in upon the Lungs Bleeding must be used and repeated as often as there is Occasion and my Cooling Purge must be used and they must take often of my Syrup for Consumptions IX When they are afflicted with Stomach Sickness they must be carry'd often abroad in the Air in a Coach for nothing else will save their Lives X. When they are seiz'd with a Fit of the Stone for this is almost an inseparable Companion from the Gout they must proceed exactly as above directed it being the best Means for Relief in a Fit of the Stone But when they have a bloody Urine they must come or send to my House for Advice and Medicines 't will take up too much Time to give particular Directions in this Case XI Young and Old must use as much Exercise as possible for they will not be able to obtain a tolerable State of Health by any other Means and 't is great pity such brave Constitutions should be worn out like Iron by Rust for want of Use Most Things are preserv'd by Motion the Sun by racing round the World imparts its vivifying Rays to all Earthly Beings the Moon by keeping the Sea in perpetual Motion makes clear and wholesome the Wind by providentially stirring and fanning the Air makes it pure and healthy otherwise it would become putrid and pestilential and would poyson Man and Beast and the feather'd Inhabitants of the Air. Our Lungs and Heart our Blood and Spirits are in continual Motion from the Hour of our Birth to the Hour of our Death the Pores of our Body perform their Offices Night and Day why then should not the other Parts co-operate In a word moderate Exercise purifies the Blood purges away superfluous Humours makes a good Habit of Body enlivens Youth cheers Old Age revives the natural Heat strengthens the Nerves and Joints procures an Appetite make coarse Country Food as pleasant as the most costly Viands and makes our Sleep sweet I have insisted long on these Things to rouze Gouty Men from a supine and unactive Course of Life for baneful Sloth breeds a Humour in the Blood that is as venomous as Cold Aconite and destroys more Men than high Feeding hard Drinking and Whoring tho' they are all prime Ministers of Fate But Exercise is best perform'd in the open Air and in the Sun better than in the Shade and Riding on Horse-back is the best Exercise of all And now I suppose I may reasonably hope this Undertaking and these Medicines will meet with a favourable Reception among such as have at any time been seiz'd with any one of these violent Diseases If I may judge by my self and according to the Benefit I have often receiv'd by the Water for the Gout in violent Fits of the Stone having voided a great many Stones and some very large after taking this Water as above directed and most commonly in the Night or the next Morning after taking it And having experimented the wonderful Vertue of this Water in my self and others I must render Thanks to Almighty God for the miraculous Deliverances I have receiv'd from the Use of it For besides the present and wonderful Relief I have often had from it in Fits of the Stone I was once snatch'd from the Jaws of Death by the Use of it upon the Gout striking in upon my Stomach suddenly on a Journey in Sussex for being carried to an House and laid on a Bed I took this which by good Providence I had then by me and in a short time the Pain ceas'd and I travell'd many Miles the next Day and ever since when I take a Journey I carry this Medicine with me as a blessed Viaticum The INDEX of Diseases and Medicines with the Price of each A. s. d.
