A special Receipt to make Hens lay Eggs all Winter long. To do this, take the tops of Nettles when they be seeded, and keep them dry, and give a little of the same with Bran, or Barley ground, wet with Beef-broth, or strong Beer: and mix good store of hempseed with it, and give to your Hens, and they will lay you Eggs all the Winter long. 49.

I have many things, and some extraordinary, which I cannot communicate, but them that have need of my help, and will make use of me, I glory not in knowing or doing much, but in doing well that little which I undertake. 1. I take forth hollow teeth or roots, though never so short, with wonderful dexterity and ease. I make smooth and even teeth that are uneven. I put in artificial teeth in the fore part of the mouth. Hollow teeth that you would not have drawn, I can stop them. I can fasten loose teeth. I have as good a secret as the world affords, infallibly to make teeth perfectly white and clean, be they never so black or rusty, in half an hour. I cannot choose but convince their ignorance, that are against drawing of hollow teeth or roots, by reason that all the art in the world cannot make a hollow tooth sound again, nor hinder it from infecting the next adjoining teeth in time. Hollow teeth breeds stinking breath, a Canker in the mouth, and other infirmities, and their intolerable aching is able to bring one into a dangerous fever; all which may be shunned, by taking forth such teeth and stumps neatly: if it be true, that it is good to take the broken from the whole; or that one scabbed sheep may spoil a whole flock; or, it is good to repair imperfections of nature with Art; then all that I have said herein is true. I have a most singular Art in the Drawing forth Corns from the Feet or Toes in a most excellent manner, with the whole substance in length of a Clove, or a Barley-corn, without the appearance of blood, or putting the party to the least pain at all; applying to them a plaster to hinder the growing of them again. Some will say, There is danger in cutting of Corns: The Professor saith so too. But you must conceive it is by those of no judgement; for they miss the Corn, drow blood, cut the Nerves, and so it Gangrenes: which no Patient can say by him, he having performed this Art to thousands in most parts of this Land. He hath a Remedy for the Itch, no ways offensive to the Party, but sweet and pleasant. The Professor hath likewise several Remedies which are profitable for all sorts of people, and good for all these Infirmities here mentioned: which if you know the goodness of them, you would not be without them for ten times the price of them: And with every one of them you have a printed Note to apply every Remedy in its right use and manner. These Remedies will held good 40 years. If you take them together, you shall have them for a shilling: but any one single will cost six pence. The balsam you may have from a six-penny-Box, to a Five-shillings Pot, &c. 1. The first is a most rare and precious approved balsam, which is excellent good for the curing of these Diseases following, It is most excellent for all green wounds, and cuts where no bone is broken. Also for all Aches and pains of the joints, numbness or stiffness of the Limbs, chaps in the Lips or Hands, Skoats or Bruises, broken-heads, Gouts, Sciatica, or Cramps, old or new. 2. Is an ointment for Burnings and Scaldings, and re cool all pains coming of Hot cause, it dyeth and cooleth all kind of Scabs, Sr. Authonie's Fire, Kingworms, sore Breasts, red Faces, Shingles, good to make one sleep, the Temples being anointed with it. 3. Is a cerecloth or plaster for Corns, to give ease to such as cannot come to have them drawn: it is good for Bruises, Squots, boils, Imposthumes, good to draw out Splinters of Woods, or Thorns in the flesh. 4. Is an excellent Remedy for the toothache, to harden the Gums, to fasten and preserve the Teeth, and make a sweet Breath. 5. Is to purge the head of superfluous Humours to strengthen the Memory, and to clear the Sight, and good for Hearing. 6. It is a Powder to make Black and Yellow Teeth White, to preserve them from perishing, and to cause a sweet Breath. 7. It is a Powder for sore Eyes that itch and burn by reason of hot rheums; also for the clearing and preserving of the Sight. 8. Is to clear your Feet from Sweating or Chasing. The Professor hath likewise that most excellent Purging powder, called Panchimagogum, or General Purge, good in all sorts of Agues Leprosies, Scabs, Itch, Worms, Dropsies; for the heaviness or giddiness of the Head; it holds good sixty years. He hath that excellent Licoratia Magistralis, invented by the Eamous Doctor Butler of Cambridge; It's excellent against Consumptions, phthisic, shortness of Breath, Rising or Wind in the Stomach; good upon Travel. He hath excellent Balls for Heats in Face or Hands, 10 fetch out Spors of oil or Grease out of linen, Woollen, or Silk, or lay amongst clothes. Also curious Pomanders, to wear or lay amongst clothes, made in manner of a Heart: And small Cramp-Rings to wear for the preventing of the Cramp. To conclude, as there is no man free from aspersions and slanders of envious tongues, I shall think myself sufficiently vindicated, that the discreeter sort will suspend their judgements at the first view, until they hear what others will say that have been under my hands; for I desire no other praise but what they can justly give me. And hough some rustics there be ●ut of ignorance or malice, or not for lack of both, speak their pleasure of me behind my back, because I use some civil recreation to recreate myself, my friends▪ and sometimes when my Patients are melancholy through pain, to make them merry, with some few feats of slights of hand. I have here discovered many Secrets for your recreation at your leisure; so I wish all men to speak as they find by me, I shall rest your loving friend to serve you in what I may. Richard Amy●● FINIS.
