stupendious Cures upon Diseases of long standing occasioned from great and intricate Obstructions in plethorick Bodies weakened and infeebled in Body and Mind and out of all hope in themselves and after they have passed long and various courses in Physick and these not one or two as by chance but upon very ●any and failing none where Gods decree did not prohibit and indeed such En●●miums were due to one only Medici●e of Paracelsus and that which no doubt was far short of other of his Arcana's as indeed we are able to affirm the like having Experience of the very same and this Encomium given by a person who set himself to throw as much dirt as he could upon his Master yet his desert extorted this Commendation from him that his little Pills he administred as a Divine Medicine he scrupled not to affirm that by that Medicine he could put life into those that were as good as dead and that while this Servant was with him he made good in some Experiments What then if this be so may be said not only of the same but many far more excellent than that and which have not only a power to revive but also to enter into the inmost parts of Mans Body and there in a friendly ●anner

It 's fume onely being administred Glyster-wise in that dolorous Grief the Iliaca Passio in which it seldome fails of giving ease for a time It is diaphoretick by opening the Pores and causing gentle breathing Sweats and for that it is best taken at bed-time physically used viz. Two or three Pipes being taken in sixteen or twenty four hours it opens Obstructions of the Bowels Liver Spleen Ureters it dryes waterish humidities it exsiccat●s the Body is good for Dropsical

disturbs the faculty of the Stomach and hastens the Expulsion of the Mass too soon before the due time of Concoction be over and with the same haste hurryes it out of the bowels before the Chyle is duely concocted and afterward attracted by the Mesaraick Veins whence the Body waxes lean and more feeble And because the Aliments being over heated and somewhat mixed with the volatile Salt of Tobacco they are together carryed to all the parts and then if the Blood being waxed over hot be the Parent of the Scurvy why may not the improper and immoderate use of Tobacco be brought in amongst the List of Causes especially considering that the use of Tobacco and the Disease of the Scurvy are both alike Epidemical By this you may suppose that Tobacco is not of such universal use as is conjectured and that it is to be used not wantonly but physically That therefore persons may know whether it be fit for them to use it they must first consider their Constitutions whether they be Phlegmatick or Cholerick And for this they may have recourse to the first part of this Book and to its proper Chapter to which the Index will direct for it is onely fit for moist phlegmatick Constitutions and not for Sanguine Melancholick and Cholerick Secondly Consider upon a trial what Effect it hath upon you laying no weight upon the ●tracting Rheum to the mouth for the movi● of the

when the Concoction of the Fo● in the Stomach is fully over which is two ● three hours after Meals such whose Bodyes makes soluble were best to take it in the Mor●ing but such who are weary by Travel or l●bour were best to take it at bed-time For tho● that are troubled with sumes rising from benea● whether vapours from the Womb or othe●wise let them take it when the Vapours begi● to stirre such who are Dropsical and offende● with waterish humours may take it three tim● in a day in the Morning two or three hour● after Dinn●● and at bed-time The sixth thing to be considered is the manner of taking of it whether in a Pipe or b● chewing as some do or by snuffe as the I ris● doe To resolve this question forasmuch as th● taking the fume by a Pipe the Tobacco being fired and the fire increased by sucking and drawing in the Aire thence is produced an Oyl and Volatile Salt of Tobacco which is descryed by its hot and biting tartness upon the Tongue and more plainly demonstrable by a trivial Experiment But this Oyl and volatile Salt is the same in kind that is drawn by the Chymical way whereby this Oyl and Salt being pressed out by the fire and uncloathed of its gross body becomes more hot and fiery than before it being consented to by all Chymists that the products of the fire carry with them an Impress of its fiery Atomes by which these things become more fiery and Caustick and therefore are not so friendly to the Stomach this Oyl and Salt being with the moysture of the mouth conveighed or gliding down into the Stomach is the cause of that variety of Effects that is wont to follow and it is not to be questioned but the fume so drawn and pressed out by the insuck'd Aire does carry with it some portion of this Salt and Oyl even as in Wood whose smoak sticking to the Chimneys is called Soot and by distillation yielding an Oyl and Salt inferiour to few but still these Vertues or Powers are according to the Variety of Concretes whence by burning this smoak or fume arises as may be apparent in the soot of Wood and that of Sea-coal yet if this Coal be distilled it yields an Oyl and
