AN ADVERTISEMENT FROM THE Society of Chemical Physicians, TOUCHING MEDICINES by them prepared, in pursuance of his Majesty's Command, For the Prevention, and for the Cure of the PLAGUE.  
IT Being a matter avowed by the most laborious Physicians practising in this famous City, yea and now openly acknowledged by those also in several Prints, who are principally addicted to Galenick Doctrines and Medicines, that Remedies made by Chemical preparation are of greater Excellence than any other, for preservation from Diseases, as well as for the Cure of them, and that the other failing, the people are to have recourse unto Chemical Medicines, whereby it is clearly given and granted, that they are the most powerful and efficacious Means, and thereupon have been by those worthy Persons particularly recommended for public use, in this sad time and deplorable Estate of Pestilential Contagion; We cannot but with all our hearts congratulate our Brethren, touching this their so seasonable and ingenuous an acknowledgement, rejoicing to see the day, that the unhappy Controversy betwixt us and them, touching the efficacy of Medicines, is now at an end: so that we look on it as a good Omen towards a more full and free coming over to us in the future, even of the most averse of those that till of late have been otherwise inclined; and it gives hope, that we may one day come to a more Brotherly correspondence, and unanimously endeavour to reform and rectify the state of Medidicine, both as to Principles and Practice, according to the Chemical and more ancient way.  
We therefore, the Society of Chemical Physicians of London, being deeply moved with commiseration of the calamity befallen this great City by the Pestilence, and perceiving it every day to increase notwithstanding the use of those common Galenical Medicines, which have been recommended to the people by others, have thought fit, in obedience to his Majesty's command, to hold several meetings, and have thereupon deliberately consulted about the preparation of such Medicines, both Preservative and Curative, by Art Chemical, as are not borrowed out of former Authors, but agreeably devised and fitted to the nature of the present Pest, which in many things differs from the Pests of former times, or in Foreign Countries where those Authors lived. Which Medicines so prepared we here offer to our Countrymen, not doubting but that the great God, who hath given us a heart and light to search into the mysteries of Nature, and the mysterious nature of diseases, will so second our endeavours by his special blessing, as to make us and our Remedies as his own hands, to secure the sound, and save the sick from this devouring Malady.  
In pursuance whereof, it is thought meet to signify the places, to which all persons concerned may repair and be furnished with the Antidotes so by us prepared, at reasonable Rates, with Directions how to use them in order to Preservation, and in case of Cure.  

Viz. at the Houses of  
Dr. William Goddard, in St. John's Close near Clarkenwel.  
Dr. Marchamont Nedham in St. Thomas Apostles.  
Dr. Edward Bolnest in Jewen-street near Cripplegate.  
Dr. Thomas Williams in Two-Cranes Court in Fleetstreet.  
Dr. Everard Manwaring next door to the Blue Boar at the foot of Ludgate Hill without Ludgate.  
Dr. George Thompson next to the Blue Boar Inn without Algate.  
Dr. Thomas O Dowde at his House against St. Clement's Church in the Strand.  
Dr. Richard Barker in Barbican.   
These Places are named, because our Society is not yet provided (as we intent suddenly to be) of a Public House or College, with public Officers, to whom the people might be directed to resort for the Medicines; and there is a necessity of doing somewhat immediately, because of the present distress of his Majesty's Subjects.  
Licenced 28 June 1665.
