A90357 The falacie of the great water-drinker discovered. Fully representing what are the ingredients that provoke him to so wonderfull a vomit, and by what art one glass seemeth to be of one colour, and another of another; and what he doth when he taketh the rose-water and the angelica-water. / By Mr Thomas Peedle and Mr Thomas Cozbie, who brought him over into England from Tours in France: and after Wednesday next being the 26 of this present June, will be constantly readie every after-noon, if desired, in their own persons to make an experimental proof of what is here declared. Published for the satisfaction of many of the nobilitie and ladies of this nation, and many eminent gentlemen who have offered great sums of money to have the misterie discovered. As also to undeceive many thousands, who having seen the manner of it, have been amazed at the wonder but could not discover the secret. Licenced and entered into the register-book of the Company of Stationers, according to order. Peedle, Thomas.; Cozbie, Thomas. 1650 (1650) Wing P1052; Thomason E603_18; ESTC R25173 2,977 6

be_v to_o understand_v that_o every_o morning_n he_o boil_v 2_o ounce_n of_o brazile_n thin_a slice_v in_o 3_o pint_n of_o run_a water_n so_o long_o till_o the_o whole_a strength_n and_o colour_n of_o

neither_o eat_v nor_o drink_v in_o the_o morning_n on_o those_o day_n wherein_o he_o come_v on_o the_o stage_n the_o cleanse_a pill_n and_o water_n only_o except_v but_o in_o the_o evening_n will_v

the_o spectator_n he_o wash_v all_o his_o glass_n in_o the_o best_a white-wine_n vinegar_n he_o can_v procure_v come_v on_o the_o stage_n he_o always_o wash_v his_o first_o glass_n and_o rinse_v it_o two_o or_o three_o time_n to_o take_v away_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o vinegar_n that_o it_o may_v in_o no_o wise_a discolour_v the_o complexion_n of_o what_o be_v represent_v to_o be_v wine_n in_o

observe_v that_o his_o gall-pill_n in_o the_o morning_n and_o so_o many_o glass_n of_o luke-warm-water_n afterward_o will_v force_v he_o into_o a_o sudden_a capacity_n to_o vomit_v which_o vomit_n upon_o so_o much_o warm_a water_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n so_o violent_a on_o he_o that_o he_o can_v forbear_v if_o he_o will_v you_o be_v again_o to_o understand_v that_o all_o that_o come_v from_o he_o be_v red_a of_o itself_o or_o have_v a_o tincture_n of_o it_o from_o the_o first_o brazil_n water_n but_o by_o degree_n the_o more_o water_n he_o drink_v as_o on_o every_o new_a trial_n
