A certain Gentleman an especiall good friend of mine being of a strong corpulent constitution having many Suits of great importance depending in Law for many years continuance although the state of his body required some help for naturall purifying of the blood and evacuation of foul corrupt humors yet could not this Gentleman take any fit oportunity for that purpose at length he was suddainly cast down and constrained to take knowledge of natures complaint thereupon took a good draught of the prepared Liquor of my Magneticall Cup it wrought all that day and all the night following without any offence or violence and gave him many vomits and eight or ten siedges the second time it was taken in a greater proportion and it wrought three or four dayes together and expurged away abundance of foul and corrupt matter and the vomits standing three or four hours after the operation grew all to be of one entire consistence of Jelly like a great firm Liver with various streaks of rotten blood and other corrupt matter that had for more then ten years before oppressed this Gentlemans body and certainly unlesse by this or some other good help this had been removed the Gentleman could not have lived but a short time Mr. William Mollins Esquire will affirm this to be an aproved truth 101. A certain loving friend of mine finding his stomack to be over charged with foule grosse and corrupt humors and his stomack and appetite unto meat quite gone his digestion weak his whole body growing more faint and his spirits more dull and lesse cheerfull than accustomed having one of my Magneticall Cups prepared therewith a pint of Hy-Countrey White-wine according to the directions by me prescribed and drank the quantity by me presribed it wrought well and gave 6. or 8. vomits and so many siedges this Gentleman being willing to make a further Experiment than was prescribed and finding this former operation to be most gentle and easie takes of the best sweet hie-Country White-wine 3. pintes or 2. quarts boiles all to a pint or thereabouts and drank it up all at one potion it wrought with him continually night and day with easie vomits and gentle siedges for 14. daies together sometimes 30. or 40. siedges with some gentle vomits betwixt in the space of 24. hours This Gentleman sent unto me to have it staied I advised him that he would patiently permit nature to have her full course for I observed that neither the vomits neither the siedges did any way violently constrain the body neither brought any thing away but digested corruptions that the body was surcharged withall and could better bee spared and expurged than healthfully kept and that withall his appetite to meat and stomack amended upon it during the physicall operations and that I knew upon former Experience that it would cease when the obnoxious humors were expurged And afterwards when the Operations ceased this Gentleman grew to be exceedingly hungry and to have a good stomack with good digestion and recovered perfect health And within a few dayes after my friend took it againe but it wrought not at all with him for when it had purged the body found no corrupt humors to work upon it passed through the body in Urine without any other apparent operation I would not advise any to follow this adventurous practice although I have known many that have done the like with good successe forasmuch as all constitutions are not alike and that the safest way is to practice according to the most common approved and Experimentally prescribed Orders and Rules The Manner and Order how to make Vse of my Magneticall or Antimoniall Cup TAke a well glased earthen pot or Pipkin with a fit cover then put this Cup therein and powre within and round about it as much White-wine Claret wine Muskadine or Malmesie if it may be gotten for it is best of all or else Ale or Beer a sufficient quantity to fill and plentifully to cover and to be above the Cup an Inch or two or more that it may stand in full infusion then set the Pipkin upon or by a gentle fire and let it boile gently for two houres and afterwards remain in the same order covered in a temperate digesting heat such as you might endure your finger in the residue and remainder of 12 hours from the time you began yet admonishing you to spare the curiosity of some that sit up to attend the same all night place it neer the hot hearth where fire hath been kept all day it is sufficient for a small heat will serve to keep it in good digestion being thus used before standing covered then one hour or two before you doe take it or administer it to another remove it from the fire and set it to coole if need be not taking off the cover whereby the spirits might evaporate away Afterwards a Cupfull or more taken fasting cold purgeth the body from whatsoever is offensive to Nature the operation is safe and gentle and without any violence or danger as hath been oftentimes proved Let them about four or five hours after sleep if their Constitution require it and then use or take any convenient diet or what they are commonly accustomed unto and govern themselves as after other Physick By the quantity and proportion of Wine or Ale allowing a pint of Wine or a quart of Ale to be prepared for two you may prepare for as many as you please at one time and here note that the greater the quantity of Liquor and the weaker it is the more heat of fire and the longer time of digestion and preparation it requireth You my also keep of this prepared Liquor in close glasses or earthen bottles a fortnight or a moneth and send it or carry it where and to what distant place you will for it loseth not his Virtue one Cupfull is an ordinary and common Dose for Children Women and for other weak and delicate persons Neverthelesse it worketh best in strong constitutions when two or three Cupfulls are taken and drunk out of a black pot or glasse and not so effectuall out of silver You may begin with one Cupfull and so increase the Dose and quantity of Potion as you finde cause for herein discretion and experience must be your guide For the manner of the
