Bishoprick of Durham whose cure of Hypochondriack Melancholy is before recited upon which it hapned also that while she was with her husband at Scarbrough she conceived with Child when as yet to her own expectation she was past hopes of any more children having never conceived for above five years before The Fourth Case A Scotch Gentlewo-man being in years whose cure of Hypocondraick Melancholy and the Scurvy is before-mentioned upon which drinking the waters notwithstanding the great weakness she was reduced to she conceived and brought forth two Children which was wonderfull so weak a woman as she was should conceive or bring them forth being judged so weak as not capable of bringing forth one The Fifth Case SR H. Thompson his Lady had no Child by two former Husbands when Sr. H. married her she came to the waters whereupon conceived Among the Classis of Diseases belonging to the Womb may not impertinently be reckoned such swellings of the belly as happen sometimes from cold upon or after Child-bearing concerning which we have one considerable instance of the efficacy of these waters as followeth Doctor G. Tunstal of New-Castle his wives belly never fell after a Child she had born nor could he by all the means he used take it down The Physician then at the Spaw viz. Dr. Wittie was consulted who advised her Husband to give her some preparatives and something else with the water to further the intention after a few dayes her Boddice did lace close that could not meet within three or four inches before she continued to drink a moneth and returned perfectly well and so continued free from all swelling it being at the first writing hereof neer three years after To which may be added that these waters are very effectual in the cure of all such symptomatical Diseases if I may so call them which take their first original from obstructions of the menstrual evacuation viz. epileptick paralytick apoplectick hysterick convulsive asthmatick Affections That is those Diseases in women which from the aforesaid causes most resemble the Falling-Sickness Palsies Apoplexies fits of the Mother Convulsions and difficulty of breathing or diseases descending from the aforesaid Spring-head which by their penetrating Salts open obstructions the Minera of such Maladies and remove the first causes thereof whereby together with the addition of other specifick helps all the aforesaid Symptomatick or secondary Diseases will necessarily and consequently cease concerning all which we discourse more largely in our Hydrologia Chym. p. 84. 94. 95. to which we reser An Imposthume THat these waters are powerful in breaking and carrying away inward Imposthumations I shall give one considerable Instance In the year 74. or 75. a man who had an Imposthumation in his small guts drank the waters and in a few dayes after the first drinking thereof while he had a stool he observed something to give a crack the Imposthume broke and came all away the matter was lodged in a skin or film which he shewed a Merchant my worthy friend and late patient here upon the Sands who gave me the relation thereof as an eye-witness Having thus run through the History of Chronick Diseases and shewed the great efficacy of the waters sometimes accommodated with other appropriate helps in order to their respective cures we would conclude with some remarks of their vertue in the cure of Acute Diseases viz. contined Feavers as to which we esteem them duly administred among the best sort of purges and greatly conducible towards the abating of the spurious febrile fermentation or praeternatural boyling of the blood and one of the best quenchers of thirst we know of in the World sometimes strangely allaying the Luxuriant symptoms of a Feaver even although in some cases extended to a Dilirium or Frenzie of which we shall give this following remakable Instance as I had it from the Gentleman 's own mouth viz. An Alderman of York went to drink these waters for a debilitude of the Anus whose Muscles from some Scorbutick Acidum fixed there was so relaxed and the tone of the parts so altered and enfeebled as was a very great affliction to him he for a time suspended drinking the waters and what through the pain of the grieved parts and what through an inquietude and restlesness which yet was consequential to the former and perhaps partly through an imbibition of the Scorbutick Acidum into the blood begot such an alteration of the Crasis thereof as he fell into a Feaver whose symptoms prevailed so strongly and grew so high that it brought a Dilirium or Frenzy upon him he was forbidden to drink the waters but notwithstanding which injunction and imposition he ventured privately which none knew stole a hearty drink took two lusty pulls at a whole pitcher of the waters left by a water-woman which wrought excellently well with him allayed his thirst took away his Dilirium or Frenzy yea so took off the bad symptoms of his Feaver as that he speedily recovered came down out of his Chamber and was the very next day if I do not mis-remember as well as any of the rest of the company A Discourse of an Artificial Sulphur-Bath and Bath of Sea-water with the uses thereof in the Cure of several Diseases HAving a Discourse of the Sulphur Bath at Knarsbrough already Extant at the heel of our Zymol Phys or Phylosophical Discourse of Fermentation which we judged as a necessary Appendix to our two former Treatises of the Spaw's viz. Hydrolog Chymic and Hydrolog Essays we have therein which may be somewhat preluminary or introductory to this traced this following Method in the seven or eight ensuing particular Heads viz. First By laying down the constitutive ingredients and Mineral principles of that water Secondly By shewing the Process as near as we can apprehend nature useth in the preparing that excellent water Thirdly By shewing the difference betwixt it and natural hot Baths in their original and imbred principles so also in some sort as to their virtues Fourthly By pointing out how and by what means the Sulphur as the chief Mineral ingredient of that water is so opened as to become not only so subtill as thence to be solvable therein odore tenus but also so volatile as to pass off in a continual steam and insensible Effluvium Fifthly By shewing how this Sulphur water comes not much short as to its original principles nor is much if at all inferiour in efficacy to some other Sulphur waters which are hot Baths in as much as that it 's lately found successful for outward applications as well as those by late observation are remarked for inward use Sixthly By shewing that the artificial heating of the Sulphur water bears some Analogy to the in-bred heat of other Baths as they come hot out of the earth Seventhly By pointing out how Art may imitate Nature yet from the same principles in the resemblance of most Baths viz. how to prepare such Baths Artificially as are Natural Lastly By inquiring

much cause to suspect a Dropsie It had resisted Medicines till coming to the waters which she drank fourteen days her belly fell and and she shortly after conceived with Child Worms THE causes of Worms are chiefly ascribable first to the debilitude of the ferments and next to the depravation and putrefaction of the nutritive juyces chiefly residing in the Stomach and Guts which two causes joyntly considered are doubtless the seminaries of worms and wormatick matter For we see that Worms happen generally in Children where the ferments are not strong and whose nutritive juyces are hence apt to grow putrid and prone to a spurious animation if I may so say the generation of worms being a bastardly product or off-set springing from depraved vital seeds animating a degenerate putrid matter These without peradventure are many times the causes of several Diseases attended with bad symptoms even in adult persons whose original frequently lies in obscurity and hence are apt to be mistaken for other diseases That these waters expell worms and wormatick degenerate matter both as it strengthens the ferments helps digestion and likewise resists putrefaction will partly be evident from the few following instances The First Cure RIchard Legard Esq had been many years troubled with small worms which we call Ascarides for which he had taken good advice and used several remedies yet never found any so successfull as these waters which brought from him to his best judgment above five hundred in a day and in a few days quit him both of the Worms and the matter that bred them The second cure MR. G. Watson of Throshenby near Scarbrough was grievously afflicted with Melancholick fumes which exceedingly clouded his understanding and possessed him with fears and fancies taking away his sleep for many weeks together so as he was become a meer Skelleton and so feeble that he was not able to walk but was carried about in arms during which time he had nevertheless an incredible appetite accompanied with a gnawing pain at his Stomach the cause of which distemper was not easily discerned till after some time he began to void a sort of flat worms about an inch long empty as if they had been nothing but a skin applying himself to the waters he voided sometimes thirty or forty in a day and in a little time found perfect cure all symptoms abating and his appetite returning to its regular course Womens Diseases WOmens Diseases peculiarly so called are such as properly belong to the womb and to its Regimen and irregularities which chiefly either proceed from the obstructions of the Matrix whereby the redundant superfluous blood to be separated according to the due course of nature in the forms of the Menses flows back floats in the containing vessels in this or the other part whom with its plenty it stretcheth whence as an aliquid amplius a turgescence and plethory and the symptoms thence following or proceed from a debilitude of the womb whereby the blood becomes drained away in too great quantities whence Lypothymia's Faintings Swoonings c. As to the former in order to the better understanding of what the obstructions of the womb are and what the effects thence ensuing towards a right apprehension I say whereof we shew in our Hydrolog Chym. what the Menstrua are the manner of their Generation their use in nature their lunar and critical seasons of Evacuation and how from their obstruction arise a Plethora besides what happens at every natural and critical Evacuation and how the effects of which if setling in the head are usually if internal Megrim Dizziness or pain in the head or if external are pustles in the face redness and soreness of eyes swelling of the face c. if in other places thence tumors erratick pains and how from the restagnation of the blood through the aforesaid obstructions in the Bronchys of the Lungs happen indispositions dulness and sluggishness of the body shortness of breath oppression of the Precordia or upper mouth of the Stomach c. concerning all which I say we treat in our Hydrolog Chym. p. 125. 126. c. to which we refer We shall only here add that the waters by their connate Salts are by matter of fact found not only proper for opening obstructions and consequently adapted for the helping such Diseases and Symptoms as thence depend viz. the Green-sickness in Maids the fits of the Mother and symptoms thence arising But also by observation are found as effectual by its gentle astingency to repress the overflowings both white and red whose floods otherwise bring on Lypothymia's Faintings Swoonings c. For though it be an apperient water yet with other proper advisable helps it is found by experience notably to stay the immoderate Fluxes of Women As to the First the waters with other additional helps are powerful in opening as I said obstructions the Minera or source of womens Maladies makes the blood well to circulate and duly to pay its Lunar or Monethly tribute causing right separations to be made whereby their shortness of breath leave them their listlesness and indisposedness goes off and all other bad symptomes aforesaid disappear their appetite and digestion comes on grow vigorous well complexioned get a good colour for what they do making them look of a ruddy and fresh complexion where nature her self thus assisted begins to paint whose colours being only contempered by an invisible pencil are not only most lively but also durable and consequently if other features conspire the best and most taking And withal to such as are apt to miscarry they notably strengthen the retentive faculty of the womb helping such to go on to their time And that it takes away some causes of barrenness being frequently found to further conception both in those who having been long married never conceived and in such as after many years of intermission near past all hopes of more children In both which cases let the following Instances serve for the rest Prolifickness of the Waters or Instances of the waters efficacy towards helping of conception The first Case MR. Th. St. Quintin of Flambrough in York-shire and his Wife were seven years and an half married during which time she had never conceived upon the report of the efficacy and vertue of the waters he brought her to Scarbrough where she drank fourteen dayes within a month after she conceived and brought forth a Son Then having an interruption for four years he brought her to the waters again After a fortnight or three weeks that she had left the waters she conceived again and brought forth a Daughter both which at the first writing hereof were living and healthful Children The Second Case MRs. Elizabeth Turner of Hutton-Pagnel in York-shire whose cure of the Dropsie by the waters is formerly mentioned shortly after which she conceived with Child and brought forth a Son having had no child before of seven years The Third Case MRS. Elizabeth Smith of Scremerston in the
