Gonorrhea which was not well cured or like those which have taken Mercury ill prepared that cannot work it self out of the Body some will have breakings out or hard knobs in the Head others swellings in the Groin or breakings out there-about some will have pains and swellings of the Joints of their Hands others in Legs and Thighs others little swellings in the Belly and Stomach some will have Hoarsness with sore Throat and Mouth and swelled Gums others will have hard red knobs in the Face some Scurvy Briny Humors behind their Ears some little Pimples about the Body others bad Sleep with confused Dreams some will be tyery faint and weak like the Green-sickness some will have pains now and then between the Shoulders and Elbows and some will be only dizzy in the Head their Water will alter according to what they eat and drink but most commonly in young Men it will be high coloured and thick at the bottom when it hath stood a while in some it will be yellowish and make the Glass it standeth in of an unwholsome greasie colour and after a Man or Woman hath had it ten or twelve years they seldom make a good Water and as seldom enjoy any perfect Health sometimes they think they have one Disease and sometimes another they are often seeking for help yet get but little The Urine of Women that have this Disease in some it will be of a sad colour but in most it will be pale or greenish with a whitish setling at the bottom when it hath stood a while some grow heavy-headed and when they have had it some years they grow Melancholy and enjoy nothing some it bringeth into a Dropsy and Consumption and when these three Distempers meet together in the Body of Man or Woman they seldom part till Death This Pill helpeth all these Symptoms aforesaid though it is gotten into the Marrow of the Bones For the Scurvy will get into the Bones the soonest of any Distemper It will cure the Gonorrhea and sharpness and stoppage of Urine and all manner of Venereal Diseases from the greatest to the smallest although they have had it twenty years I say all manner of Venereal Distempers and the pain and killing Consumption of the Kidneys which is a very dangerous waste Ulcers in the Kidneys and Bladder and Cancers and Ulcers in the Womb all sorts of Worms that breed in the Stomach and Maw and the other small Worms it most commonly causeth a good Appetite to ones Meat at the first taking and causeth as good sleep as a Man can desire and cheareth the Spirits very much it doth presently help and carry off all Crudities and swellings form the Stomach and Belly Leggs and Thighs and is the presentest help that I know in the World for the Dropsy it doth help Ulcers in the Throat to admiration those which are sick with eating or drinking it doth help at once taking it taketh away all pains out of the Bones when no other means will do it and for any of the aforesaid Distempers the Pill being taken at the first beginning once taking will cure but if the Scurvy be old and stubborn it will require more and if you find the first taking have not finished the cure take one Dose every third night going to Bed till you have taken four or five times Now I would have you take notice of the rarity of these Pills they are in bigness of a Pins Head and any Man or Woman may take twenty and put them into a Spoon with a little Ale or Beer and swallow them all at once at night going to Bed or any way you can best take them for they are very easie to take then you shall see the rarity of this little merry Bed fellow In the first place you will have a comfortable nights rest with a little breathing sweat all night but not so much as to make your Linnen wet and in the morning the sleep and sweat goeth off together and presently it beginns to Purge by Stool and Urine and will bring away corruption out of the Body according to the quantity that doth offend if the Body be very foul it doth bring away almost a Chamber-pot full the first Stool and two or three small Stools of Corruption afterwards and so you may go about your business the People say it doth make them very hungry and you may know by that the Pill is very wholsome and well prepared and having the warm Bed all night they draw all the bad Humours to the Stomach and there correct their sharpness and send them down through the Bowels But still the more rarity of these Pills they do not gripe at all nor make you sick but strengthen the whole Body and chear the Spirits and you may go where you please and do what you please only Women must not put their Hands in cold Water the next day they may be taken any time of the year with good success and will continue good longer than any Man can live These Pills operate five several wayes First after you have taken them at night going to Bed they operate by sleep 2dly By Wind downward 3dly By little breathing Sweat and in the morning that goeth off and 4thly They work by Stool and 5thly By Urine And if Children have any the same Distemper's aforesaid they may take from one year old so many Pills as they are years old till they come to twenty Pills and so they which are three or four score years of age may take twenty These Pills raise the Lame out of their Beds though Aged This which I have said is Truth The Dose which I now sell for a shilling I formerly sold for a Crown but now the Poor may have the benefit as well as the Rich. You shall have them in Boxes twenty in a Box price one shilling and if you find the first taking doth not the Cure take twenty every third night till you have taken four or five times or till all your pain is gone for they fail not to cure all sorts of Pains only the Sciatica the Bone being out put all the twenty into a Spoon with a little Ale or Beer and swallow them all at once at night going to Bed and have a large Chamber-Pot ready in the morning you need not take any Posset-drink nor eat or drink till Dinner time for the Pills have enough in themselves to uphold Nature only those which are very weak may drink some Posset Ale The Scurvy is the Mother and Nursery of all Diseases and upon taking cold or any disorder of Body it branches out one Distemper or other and yet the grand cause which is the Scurvy remains all one in the Body Most of these Cures with thousands more I have done with the help of this my Friendly Pills though I did not administer them in the same manner as now I do Now you shall hear of some of the Cures which I have done the Peoples
