A63797 Healths grand preservative: or The womens best doctor A treatise, shewing the nature and operation of brandy, rumm, rack, and other distilled spirits, and the ill consequences of mens, but especially of womens drinking such pernicious liquors and smoaking tobacco. As likewise, of the immoderate eating of flesh without a due observation of time, or nature of the creature which hath proved very destructive to the health of many. Together, with a rational discourse of the excellency of herbs, highly approved of by our ancestors in former times. And the reasons why men now so much desire the flesh more than other food. A work highly fit to be persued and observed by all that love their health, and particularly necessary to the female sex, on whose good or ill constitution the health and strength, or sickness and weakness of all [cropped]sterity does in a more especial manner depend. By Tho. Tryon. Tryon, Thomas, 1634-1703. 1682 (1682) Wing T3182; ESTC R219417 19,602 25

In all the before mentioned Spirits that have passed through those cruel harsh Fires where the Air hath not its free Egress and Regress the pure Spirit and sweet Body is totally destroyed which is the●Root of Motion and Fermentation therefore such Spirits will not work or Ferment as all other Drinks and Liquors will even Water it self but you may put what quantity of Sugar you will to Brandy Rumm or any other Distilled Spirits they will continue a strong Fire void of Motion or Fermentation this doth further declare that all the good Principals and Ver●●es are destroyed by the preparation and that there remains only a strong fixed Fire which has its uses in Physick as is mentioned before but not otherwise 3. Such Spirits being frequently Drunk do generate various Diseases according to each Mans Nature and Constitution and the Climate whether hot or cold for they do powerfully Prey upon the Natural Heat consuming the sweet Oyl and pur● Spirits for the Balsamick body and pure Spirits of all such Liquors being destroyed in the preparation they become an Extre●● which Nature in its simplicity hates and for this cause such Liquors cannot Administer any Propper or Agreeable Nourishment to the Body or to the pure Spirits it cannot give that which it hath not it hath only power to awaken the Central Heat o● Fire which ought not to have been kindled and this it doth by a Simpathetical opperation for all Meats and Drinks have power in the Body to awaken and strengthen their likeness for this reason all Wisemen skilled in the Mysteries of Nature have commended Simple Meats and Drinks because most such things are as it were equal in their parts having no mannifest Quality that does predominate Violently over the other but yet contains a sufficient Nourishment for the Body and also for the Spirit● For Meats and Drinks ought to be equal in their parts the Spirit ought not to be Seperated from the Body nor the Body from the Spirit but both ought to be Administered together For the Body without the Spirit is of a gross heavy dull or dead Nature and the Spirit without the Body is too Violent and Fiery but the Health of Mans Body and Mind doth chiefly consist in the equal●ity of both do not all Meats and Drinks wherein any Quality or Property of Nature is extream whether it be in Vertue or harmfulness if not sparingly taken certainly discompose the Harmony both of the Body and mind for every Quality bege●s its likeness and so on the contrary Concord and Harmony are maintain●d by their Likenesses if there be not a Sympathetical agreement between the Stomach and the Meats and Drinks both in Quality and Quantity the unity and Concord of the Properties of Nature are immediately broken whence proceeds various Diseases according to the Degrees of the Disorder This every one ought to understand or else they may unadvisedly lay heavier Burdens than Nature can bear for most Diseases are generated through surplusage of Nourishment For unto weak heats there ought to be administred a proportionable Food but stronger heats will admit of stronger Foods and greater quantity which all persons might know if they would but observe the opperation of their own Natures for no Health nor Harmony can be
