Quer. Pharm rest 238. The blessed water or infusion of the Magneticall Cup perfometh most excellent and wonderfull effects it gently procureth vomit and four or five stools purging both upward and downwards together which hardly any other Medicine will doe it is administred very successefully against all kind of Fevers although they be pestilent and infectious also against the Plurisie and against all other deplored and desperate Diseases which are so strongly confirmed and deeply rooted that they cannot be over-mastered another way or by any other Medicines Thus far Quercitan in his Pharmacop rest pag. 238. Fourthly This truth shall be further confirmed by the testimonies of that excellent and learned Doctor of Physick and Philosophy that wrote out of his own experience and manuall practise Basilica Antimonij in the 22. and 23. page he saith Antimonium est laudabile singulare Pestis preservativum in Hydrope Lue pestifera gallica in Obstructionibus hepatis Lyenis Ictero Lepra ejusque speciebus omnibus medicamen est speciale admirabile ad articulorū gravitatem à Podagra vel Lue venerea relictā commendatur in vitiosa sanguificatione in Chachexia Lepra laudatur Catarrhos cor pulmones serientes cum summo successu exhaurit ex hoc celeberrima aqua opthalmica paratur ad unbeculas suffusiones cōmendatur ad purgantia Enemeta cum bono felici successu recipitur curat omnes obstructiones viserum à quartana tertiana liberat in Anasarca comm●ndabilis existit sanguinis est depurativum Leprae Epilepsiae Podagrae unicum preservativum That is Antimony is a laudable and singular preservative against the Plague it is a speciall and an admirable Medicine against the Dropsie the running of the Reins and the French Pox against all obstructions of the Liver or the Spleen against the intollerable pain of the Arteries and the Joynts proceeding from the infection of the Pox it is much commended and praised to purifie and cleanse the blood against the Leprosie and the evill estate of the body It drieth up all Rhumes and Distillations that offend the Heart or corrupt the Lungs And of this infusion is made a most excellent medicine for the eyes It is also administred with good and happy successe for purging Glisters It cureth all obstructions of the inward parts It delivereth from the tertian and quartan Fevers It is commended against the Dropsie Anasarca It is the best purifier of the Blood And is the chiefest and only preservative against the Leprosie the Epilepsie and the Gout pag. 22 23. usque ad 30. And again the same Author in his Basilica Antimonij pag. 39 40. c. saith thus Antimonium Naturam confortando sudores movendo sanguinemque depurando tantum inimicissimis humanae vitae hostibus bellum in dixit ut neque Hydrops neque Podagra Arthritis Gallica Lues Lepra hisce affines morbi contra talem medicinam quicquid moliri ausint Antimony by conforting Nature by procuring Sweat and by purifying of the Blood wageth such war against the most cruell enemies of mans life that neither the Dropsie nor the Gout nor the Morbus nor the Leprosie can any thing at all withstand the effectual virtues of this Medicine p. 39.

Antimony by vomit expelleth poyson speedily if lately taken it is given very profitably against all Fevers and infirmities of the head it sifteth out the unwholsome matter of the Falling-sicknesse and utterly expelleth this cruell torture and adverse enemy to the life and health of mankinde also it driveth out by vomit and siedge all filthy corruption and impurity out of the body of man Furthermore in the 46. pag. he saith Antimonium febres curat à putredine praeservat ciborum appetentiam excitat ventriculum constringendi confortat omnemque calorem praeter Naturam in corpore humano ortum extinguit epilepsiam curat calculum francit lumbricos enecat mensis urinam movet dolores etiam padagricos extrinsecus adhibitum mulcet multa alia in medicina praestat dentium dolorem sistit Balsamum vitae instaurat sanguinem purificat obstructiones reserat nunquam anhelosos asthmaticos deserit summum sanguinis mundificativū Calculū renum vesicae frangit expellit urinam sudores movet ulcera fistulas vulnera à putridine conservat sanat Antimony cureth Fevers preserveth from Putrefaction procureth Appetite comforteth the Stomack allayeth all immoderate and unnaturall heat cureth the Falling-sicknesse breaketh the Stone killeth Worms procureth Urine and the monethly Flowers asswageth the pain of the Gout by bathing with the infusion and externall application and hath many other medicinall virtues stayeth the pain of the Teeth restoreth the Balsame and strength of nature purifieth the blood openeth obstructions forsaketh not to comfort and help the Asthmaticall and such as are short-winded is the chief cleanser and purifier of the Blood it breaketh and expelleth the Stone whether it be of the Reins or of the Bladder it procureth Urine and Sweat cureth perfectly Ulcers Fistula's and Wounds and preserveth them from corruption and putrefaction Basilica Antimonij pag. 47 48. 49.
