Lockyers PILL. portrait of Lionel Lockyer The true Effigies here you may behold Of him who for avoiding others ill Hath gained a Medeine star excelling Gold And known to all'y e World for LOCKYERS PILL coat of arms with three boars 'heads AN ADVERTISEMENT Concerning those most Excellent PILLS, CALLED Pilulae Radiis Solis extractae: Being an Universal medicine, especially in all Chronical and difficult Distempers; as by the ensuing Discourse will most clearly appear. Truly and only prepared by me Lionel Lockyer, licenced Physician; and by me faithfully communicated unto Mr. Tho. Fyge Apothecary, and Mr. John Watts my Nephew which resides with me in my House, and unto none other; from whom only, and from such which they shall appoint, you can have this true Solar Preparation after my Decease. Courteous Reader, HAving through the Blessing of God, ( from whom alone cometh every good and perfect gift) been so successful in my endeavours, especially in the chemical Preparation of Mi●erals, which hath been found, and is generally acknowledged by the most experienced Practitioners in all ages, to be most effectual for the extirpating and rooting out the ground of all Chronical Distempers; which, for the diffi●ulty of their Cures, arising from the want of good Medicines, are generally the shane of Physicians. Having, I say,( through his goodn●s●) attained to the singular preparation of a Medicine thence, which for its excellent efficacy deservedly merits that Title; by which I would more peculiarly express, or give you to conceive by way of Analogy, of its excellent properties, which are of a solar nature, dispelling those Causes in our Bodies, w●ich continued, would not only darken the Lustre, but extinguish the Light of our Microcosmal Sun: which however, that it may more perspicuously appear, I shall give you to understand its Medicinal Properties, which I in my self have experienced for confirmation of the same. I cannot but commend this Medicine to all tender Mothers of children, which although they seem to be very lusty, yet are suddenly snatched away by death, having the Convulsion Fits, and in this Distemper you may give to a child of a month old, the eighth part of one of these Pills in a little of the Mothers breast milk; and after resting three or four days, you may safely give it the child the second time: but if in process of time it shall so happen that the Fits return again, you may increase the Dose, and give the child a little more then at the first time, and so continue as the childs body can bear, until the disease be totally vanquished, And here I cannot but pity the ignorance of some Physicians, which I have known in other Countries, that have given to an Infant new-born a Wine-glass full of water, with a little Pe●al beaten to powder, or the powder of Beasoar ston, which are Medicines of no virtue at all to prevail over such diseases. This Medicine is far more secure, safe and effectual, than all other Medicines whatsoever; for it resists and prevails against all the obstructions of the Spleen, which is the common sure or Scavenger of the body; as namely, for Melancholy, and also all obstructions of the Liver, the which unremoved corrupteth the Blood, from whence flow grievous dis●ases, as the continual pain in the head( the which causeth many a young Miad to descend into her grave, there being the vacuity of the course of Nature.) In Women the Suffocation of the Matrix, Suppression of the Monthly Flowings, Tremblings, Palpitations of the Heart, Swooning, Vertigo of the Head, and especially that hideous Torment,( in that part commonly called) the Mother; fevers, leprosy, Gout, Falling Sickness, dropsy; frenzy, Vertigo, the palsy, Rheums, Defluxions, headache of all kinds, Convulsion-Fits, Difficulty of Breathing, Stoppage of the Stomach, Cough, Ptissick, Inflammation of the Lungs, Consumption, want of Appetite, bad Digestion, pain in the Stomach, Worms of all kinds, the Scurvy, colic, Inflammation and Obstruction of the Liver, Corruption and Putrefaction of blood, jaundice Black and Yellow, hard Swellings, Tympanies, Pain and Inflammation of the Spleen, Overflowing of the gull, Tremblings of the Heart, Swoonings, Stoppage and Scalding of the Urine, Bloody-flux, Gravel and ston in the Reins and Bladder, Rickets in children, Kings-evil, the gonorrhoea or Running of the Reins, the violent hectic fever; Agues Quotidian, Tertian, Quartan; Green-sickness, Fist●la, the Cancer, the Emerods and Piles, stoping of the Terms and Whites. It exalts the Generative virtue, cleanses and strengtheners the spermatic Vessels, resists all foulness and infection in the act of Generation. It mundifieth and cleanseth-the Skin, restoreth and increaseth Beauty, makes old Age comely and beautiful, and the countenances of all to be cheerful and sanguine, and is an Antidote against infectious Diseases; although I have mentioned many Diseases, I might have saved that labour, for of all these and many other such like Diseases known and unknown, being without name or number, this medicine is a full and effectual healer. The Pills may be taken alone; and if the Dose be precisely observed, the Operation will be almost insensible because it works so gently, that it is a Restorative to Nature, it restores the Radical Moisture, which is the magazine of Life, and in a wonderful manner expels all that is noxious out of the body, and will not leave a sluttish corner unswept in any part thereof. It is a Preservative from all Accidents, as contagious Airs, for it stands Sentinel in the body, and will not admit any enemy of Nature to enter: if you increase the Dose, its Operation will be the more active and visi●le, exercising its Virtues upon the body by expelling the Disease; sometimes it works upward, and sometimes downward, and may be both ways at once: For it sweeps every hole clean, and carrieth away what thing soever is offensive or destructive to Nature. And according to the Dose, it works more or less, but always without any violence: I have seen it conquer many peoples Diseases in a very small Dose, and without any visible Operation. It demoilisheth and vanquisheth most, if not all manner of Distempers notwithstanding there are certain Infirmities which have been of long continuance, which have taken root as it were in the body, and these do require a more visible Operation, and cannot be expelled with a small Dose. It is excellent against the leprosy, and such like detestable Diseases where no part is found: there is not in the world a surer, safer, more efficacious and speedier Remedy, provided that Nature be not utterly spent in them that take it. And as for that irksome and unclean Disease, so commonly called the POX, there is nothing more safe and sure, so that the Patient take it in a proper Dose: that is, he begins with two Pills, and so increasing one Pill every day, until he comes to six or seven, that he may sweat, and that the medicine may have its Operation both by Vomit and Stool, and so continuing, without resting one day in a week, and the Cure shall be very well perfected upon him without any other means at all. Now the great difficulty many men make in curing of this Disease, an●… the great charges they put people upon, make them slow, and ashamed t●… go to any for a remedy until they are almost rotten; which I know might b●… prevented, if the party at the first feeling of himself ill will take but on●… of these Boxes of Pills. The Gout, leprosy and dropsy, are esteemed Diseases for the most par●… incurable: towards the cure of which and such Diseases, this medicine is wonderful prevalent beyond credit, and it worketh in a short time more than any medicine in the world ever did, for in a very short time it extracts from the whole body all turbulent, pestilentious, infectious humors, and that many times insensibly, and yet fully and perfectly, but often so mildly, that it is hardly perceivable; and so all true Cures should be wrought: it is not convenient( but destructive) to lay violent hands upon Nature; for all her ways are gentle and mildred, and so should her Cures be. And so in the cure of the Gout, though the wringing Pains thereof are intolerable, but it shall day by day hereby be a little mitigated and assuaged, the Fits every day decreased, and return not so frequenty as at the first, and gradually vanish quiter away never to return again, which is a blessed riddance. They that are well, and desire so to be, let them take the Pills once in a Week. Now all that take these Hills for the Gout and dropsy, let them take three or four Pills every day. Many people of late after they have lost their Agues. have been very much troubled with the swelling in their Legs, which this Pill hath soon cured; and if they had taken it sooner, it would not only have cured the Ague, but prevented the Swelling in their Legs. Also a most wonderful Operation it hath to produce Fertility or Fruitfulness in the most barren of Women, provided the cause be in themselves. This( Gods appointed time being not come) is able to withstand it. This Pill is very necessary for those that take long Voyages to Sea, as to the East and West Indies, in which Voyages, both the Soldiers and Mariners are much weakened and sorely troubled with the Scurvy, and have no Remedy with them, that can do them any or very little good; whereas this Pill will enable them to ●… inish their journey with joy and comfort, both going thither, and also com●… ng home, by the blessing of God. Truly in the Universal Nature I have not hitherto found any medicine near equal to this, by many degrees, which doth so effectually resist all Putrefaction both of blood and Bowels; and this medicine both Soldier and master may car●y, though never so far. It resists also all Obstructions, the prime cause of most Infirmities. Also it never corrupts, though kept an hundred years, which Drugs will quickly do, and lose both savour and virtue. But this, as I said and say again, is a sure medicine, always at hand, easily administered and administrable: In the effects there is no medicine in the whole world more healthful. The master who continues at Sea many months, and the Soldier in the Camp, suffering there all possible or imaginable inconveniences, cannot want, because this is a medicine without a Plaster, it is in itself instead of a Plaster and will cu●e wounds or old Ulcers being taken inwardly, therefore chirurgeons in Ships, and they in the Camp, should take care to be provided with this one medicine above all other; for by it they might preserve the lives of thousands of Mariners and Soldiers, which are under their care and tuition, and one only Ounce alone of these Pills, which is but a very small price, will make above an hundred Doses, and cure the sick with more facility than they can do otherwise by all their Art, though furnished with Chest fulls of medicines; yet not valuable in comparison or competition with this. If Physicians of chirurgeons in the Camp or Navy, were provided but with some few Ounces of these Pills, they might save the lives of ten thousands, which miserable perish through want thereof. It is the duty of a General of an Army, to provide for the Soldiers under his Command, for when they are afflicted with the Plague, Scurvy, Fluxes, and other Epidemical Diseases, they fall like leaves in Autumn from the trees, or like flies in Winter, when the could weather comes, they die by heap for want of help, whereas this incomparable medicine might save the lives, if not of all, yet the greatest part of them. For this ve●y cause, and in commiseration of mankind, who is subject to so many casualties and infirmities, I will hereafter be sufficiently stored with this medicine, which God hath blessed my study and labours with, which many rabbis have enquired for, and mist, and; now I publish it, that they which will, may make use of it. It is a medicine so useful powerful and precious, and yet not costly, that there is not the like. A word or two to ●y kind Country men, that live in Country Villages far from Physicians or Apothecaries: When sickness comes upon them, their wives, children or servants, then for a Garduus Posset, and if that do it not, they are in a strait, and know not what to do; whereas if they had but one of these Boxes of Pills, they might do their family much good, and their poor Neighbours which are about them, if the Lord gave them hearts so to do; and in so doing, you shall manifest yourselves to be like unto our Saviour Christ, of whom the holy Scriptures record, That he went about doing good, Acts 10.38. And this is the practise of some Merchants in this City, and likewise some Gentlemen in the Country, which have many Boxes of these my Pills, to give away to poor people. If any man shall imagine or presume upon my Commendation of this Pill, that therefore any Disease though never so inveterate may be removed, he is deceived, and in this doth orr; for I speak here only of such Diseases as by natural means and Gods Blessing may receive and admit of cure, for in some cases the internal parts, the bowels, are so stuffed and obstructed with ill Humours, that no medicine will prevail, in some their Lungs are rotten and putrefied, and the Liver also, before they think of a Physician, or call for help. In such a case, what physic can help or restore a principal member when it is quiter lost, or make new bowels when the old are perished? And sometimes it pleaseth God to strike a man immediately with a Disease which no man can heal, whereof divers examples are extant in the Word of God, as we may red of Jehoram, it is said, That the Lord smote him in his bowels with an incurable Disease, and in two years his bowels fell out. 2 Chron. 21.18. Likewise Jeroboams hand dried up, 1 King. 13. And likewis● Gehazies leprosy, 2 King. 5.27. Acts 12.13. and such Diseases imposed by a Divine Hand, no human power can mitigate; only Sauls evil spirit, of a melancholy Devil, Davids harp did mitigate, but did not cure, 1 Sam. 16.23. To God all things are possible, whose Hand can only help what the same hard harms; as Miriam's leprosy was cured by the Prayer of Moses, Num. 12.13. Hence it is to be concluded that some Diseases are Incurable, and there my Pill must needs fail: but in Natural distempers they fail not: For my part I take the Pills once every, Week, though I am not troubled with any Disease, only for my Healths sake, and to prevent Diseases, and I find much good by them; for about the sixtieth year of my age, I felt some stiffness in my Limbs, and in regard of my age, I was afraid I should have fallen into such a Distemper as I had twenty years ago, for then I was so lame( and nothing seen) yet in so much pain that I desired death rather then life. But as God would have it, it partend from me: and as it came of itself, I knew not by what means, so( by the Blessing of God( I cured myself of that Distemper: that is I applied myself to these Pills, and by the Blessing of God upon them I was set at Liberty, and my Limbs were as nimble as they were thirty years ago; for now I can Leap, walk, or run, with ease and refreshment, which before was a burden to me; and I find them in myself to be a great Restorer of Nature, for I have used no other physic about this 12 or 14 years; and I intend to use them as long as I live, for I find that they strengthen me very much, ever since I began to take them: and at this time( through the goodness of God) I am not sensible of any Distemper upon me: and although the Winter 1662, was could and long, yet no Wast-coat did come on my back, day nor night, which I had not gone without for thirty years before: One thing also in regard of my Age, makes me marvel, that I am grown two inches bigger in my body within these twelve months. I have also a preparation from the same matter of this Pill, with a little Addition to it, will cure those that have been deaf many years, these Pills are to be taken as the other, and the price 5 s. the box, And I'll tell you, as these Pills are Extracted from the best of Minerals, so they are the best of medicines, and not to be made without great expense, much Pains, Time and Operating in the Fire, the which is something tedious now to me, being the 72 year of my age, only I am assisted by my Cousen John Watts: I have lived in the Parish where now I live, these 18 or 20 years, and have wrought from Animals, Vegetables and Minerals; and although I have found out many pretty Experiments from the two former, yet I affirm Experimentally, None like the Mineral Kingdom for medicines; from which( through the goodness of God) I have gained this great Secret, which is the best that ever I knew, or care to know, nor do, or shall any know it, but them that I have Informed you of. It is objected by some, that the Pill in some bodies doth not operate upwards and downward, as some physic usually doth: yet my Pill, under God, though( insensible, it may be in some bodies) the operation may not be over in a day, or two or three after: It works by expelling wind, water and by sweat and( if need be) in due time by Purge or Vomit,( if there be cause.) Forasmuch as my Pill is well known through most parts of the World, to be a sveraign Remedy for any Diseases; Seamen and Merchants( from experience) having communicated them almost into all parts; some there are that seek to counterfeit my Pill, which Pill they understand as well as Walthams Calf, for it requireth a better wit then lieth in any of their heads, to know the Materials, the Fire and the Water, the Order and the Time to be observed in making thereof; which I have not gained easily, but by long and chargeable experience: But if any of them be able to convert the blood of the Serpent into a Salamander, able to endure a violent fire, and take from him his blood, soul, and spirit, and throw him headlong into the Salt Sea, that man shall be like another conquering Jason deserving great honour, but these deserve an— rather. I understand also by some Persons, that there are great Disputes and Conjectures amongst men, what my Pill is made of; some say it is made of Tu●pethum Minerale, others of sulphur of Antimony, and some say it is made of Crude Mercury or Quicksilver: but not one grain of either of these did I ever use to the making of my Pill. So much for the Negative. It matters not what it's made of, it being so safe and harmless, that women with child do o●st antly take them, and much good they find by them, for they strengthen both them and the child. And I do conclude in the Affirmative, it is good for any Disease( as I said before) curable by physic. Now that none may be deceived for after time in buying Pills for mine which are not, I therefore first declare to all that shall red these lines, that the Pill was never taught me by man, neither do I know any man that can make them but myself. But since the Printing of my Book, May the 2. 1664: I have given my Secret to three persons, one of whom in regard of his Greatness I dare not mention, considering what Solomon saith, The Kings wrath is as the roaring of a lion, but his favour is as the due upon the grass, Prov. 19.12. The other two are, as I told you before, my friend, Mr. Tho. Fyge, and my Nephew Mr. John Watts, of whom, or of them they appoint, the right Pills can only be had after my death. Now forasmuch as my aim in making this medicine, was that all might have benefit thereby, I have so ordered the business that they are to be sold for me in several places of the Nation: but be careful to buy of those whose names are in my Book, I have done enough to keep you from being cheated both now and hereafter, if you are wise; if not I cannot help it. To prevent it if posible, I shall inform you that the great pretenders to know and make my Pills, are several servants that have lived with me, both male and female: now if these thievish servants had stolen no more of my Pills, than they did of the way to make them, it had been some hundreds, if not more in my way; for they are as little skilled in the preparation, as an Horse is in Hebrew: And though every one of them make Pills different from one another, yet they will all assert they are mine, though never a one of them is so truly. The trick they have to vend them by, and put them off with, is that which takes only with simplo folks, that they shall buy them cheaper of them; but it's dear enough that they pay, which take them with the loss of their lives, or sell them to the loss of their credit for them: for if there be an unskilful hand in such preparations, the best medicine will degenerate into the worst and most pernicious. I am informed they much desire my death, supposing that then they may cheat the world without control: but I have ordered the business so, that you may be saved out of such Rooks hands, and buy for many years to come at mine own Hou●e, of my Nephew, such as I have taken care to prepare and provide for posterity when I am dead; they being beter for being older. In this Tract are presented several Cures to your view, and a thousand more might be added, but I need not have mentioned these, but to make some ashamed of their belying so generous and general a Remedy, and because they have been before now often Printed I shall give you the briefer Account. jane Newbury in the Parish of Antony near plymouth, by a grievous Distemper in her head and eyes, at length became blind, was judged by several persons, from whom advice was desired, to be incurable; at last by the counsel of Mr. A. F Practitioner in physic in the same Place, she made use of these Pills and in a short time found great amendment, and a little after a perfect Cure, and enjoys perfect Health and Sight. Octob. 19. 1674. edmond Herring's Child of St. John's in cornwall, being sick and weak for a long time, was under several Physicians hands to little or no purpose, and grew into a Co●sumption, as was judged past recovery; but at last they took themselves to the use of these Pills for the Distemper, which had that happy ●ffect as to restore it perfectly and is now a lusty lively Child. John Blackelere M●ster of a Vessel at plymouth, having strained himself by excessive labour, when his Vessel was in danger of being over-set, had an extraordinary tumour also afflicted him by means of it, for which he used many medicines but in vain, till at length he used these Pills, which did complete his Cure. balthasar Rawlings coming from Newfound-land to plymouth, was looked on by the Doctor and Master as dead, and the Mariners were about to throw him over-bord; but some small Symptoms of life remained in him; being put ashore, he lay at one John Fleetwood's House in plymouth, eight or nine days in a most deplorable condition, and at last fell to the use of these Pills, with the Operation of which he evacuated almost an incredible quantity of corrupt blood and putrid matter, viz. eight or ten times a day about two or three quarts, which made him a sound man, and he went hence into His Majesties Service. John Langham in the City of Exon, having an imposthume gathered in his side, was left by several Doctors as incurable, he growing worse under all their means, at last resolved upon the use of Dr. Lockyer's Pills, which did by degrees through Gods blessing make him perfectly well; the Operation of the Pills bringing away all the impostumated matter and the bag which did contain it, and much congealed Blood with it. Arthur Fisher of S. Tho. Southwark, cured of a violent Spleen, which had been his Companion for 30 years, and under all the means his friends and himself could obtain, could procure no help. The Wife of Mr. John pits, late of London-bridg, Instrument-m●ker, being forc d to the taking these Pills as her last refuge for an exceeding gnawing pain in her bowels, upon the taking 5 of them voided in less then 5 hours by estimation 500 wo●ms, and cleared of all her pain and her worms together. Mr Cook's Child, a Tanner at Rygate, cured of the Convulsion Fits, after all hopes of Cure was past. Mrs. Anne Parsons of Muchwenlock, cured of the Kings evil, to the great wonder of all that knew her. Elizabeth Munns wife of William Munns, of Sheffield in Yorkshire, having her breast Cancerated to that degree that all the Physicians gave her over, yet for 10 s. cost was Cured, and has since that a living Child, and does at this day give suck, and her breast sound. Mr. Barton, 70 years of age, of the same place, with a dropsical tumour that fell into his Leg, was so very bad that the surgeons could do no good on it, but at last came to this that the Leg must be cut off, or no Cure; yet after all, was Cured in a months time, and is at this day a sound man. Friends, THese are to acquaint you, that in the year 1673. I was very much afflicted with the ston, and the pain was so grievous that I could take little rest, or walk upright for certain days, at length being persuaded to make trial of Doctor Lockyer's Pills, in the use of which, through God's blessing, the ston dissolved and came from me in small stones and gravel, of which I voided an incredible number, part of which I have yet by me, to the number of near an hundred, but have lost many more: I thought convenient to mention these things for the encouragement of such as have like trouble, no more but rest lin, Feb. 19. 1675 Robert falconer, Jacob Tyre at the Oil-Mill without lin South-gates, his Daughter having a dry sore head for a long time, and used many Medicines to little or no purpose, only most of them would take it off for the present, but it would come again; at length they concluding it to be a scald, they went to one in lin who is a professed Artist in such Cures, but when the Artist saw it, she would not undertake it unless she might pluck off the hair, which the Childs Mother would not yield to, but followed the Child with the Pills as she was directed, and so the Child received a perfect Cure in a short time, and remains sound to this day, and it is some years since. John Gurten of Woodham-Ferres, Essex, after he had spent above 10 l. i●… Doctors and physic, for the scurvy, wind-gout and wind-colick, bein●… never the better, took Lockyers Pills, the first two boxes enabled him to g●… about. the second two boxes made him perfect well. John Day of the same Parish, was troubled with the dropsy, Wind-gou●… and Sciatica for some years, and when he was confined thereby to his chai●… and as he said, going into the ground, despairing of recovery, because h●… found no relief from the advice of his Physicians; was by four boxes 〈…〉 these Pills restored to his strength and freed from pains, and continues 〈…〉 without any return thereof. A Merchant of D●von troubled for twenty years with a bloody Water, w●… recovered of this sad Distemper by these Pills, when he had spent mar●… pounds on other means to no purpose. A Gentlewoman of Exon through great weakness often miscarried, a●… being persuaded to these Pills when she was with Child, found t●… happy effect in going her out her time, and hath now a lovely child, Mr. W. Veal Minister of Edsligh in the County of Devon, had a Child very sadly afflicted with the Kings-Evil, which was cured by these Pills, after many other means had failed. Mr. John Warren Merchant in exeter, was taken very sadly in his Limbs, so that he could not go, many means were attempted to no purpose, till he took these Pills; he was so weak, especially in his hands, that he could not button his doublet: but after he used the Pills, he increased in strength at this rate, that he could one day bear one pound weight, the second day two pounds, and so on every day proportionably increased in strength, and continues strong and well ever since. I Think it necessary to give an account of the benefit I have received by God's blessing in the use of Doctor Lockyers Pills; I was sorely afflicted with a sore humour in my Legs, and I tried means to divert the same, but to little or no purpose, for by the means I used, all the benefit I received was this; the swelling would be assuaged in the morning, but would be as ill again before night, until at length being persuaded to take these aforesaid Pills, by which in short time I received a perfect Cure, and have remained more healthful ever since( for which I bless God) and it is now near three years since. I know also that the testimony given by Robert falconer is truth and shall be asserted by John Rice. lin this first day of the first Month 1675 / 6 John Hull of March, bought all the Pills I had, and he told me what a great Cure they had done to a Child of his four years of age, that was bursten, that he administered some of those Pills to it, and that he had perfectly ●ured his Child, and that it was very sound and well. I had another of March that came to me yesterday, and he told me he had ●… een with the King for the Evil he had on both sides of his neck, with ●… hree or four holes on each side, and he was wished by a friend to come ●… o me for half a box of my pills, and in taking of them in one fortnights time, is perfectly cured. Your Friend John Tyffin. Nov. 2. 1675. Godmanchester. Mr. Robert Havercamp's Case stated by himself to me. Having received some wounds in the fleshy part of my thigh about two ●… nd twenty years ago, which were ill cured at first, it did with some intermis●… on frequently break out and turn to a fistula, and this last Summer brought ●… one me a desperate lameness and pains to the very small of my Leg, to●… either with a violent fever; and indeed I was even at deaths door: The ●… hirurgeons would not undertake it, unless I would consent to have my Thigh opened to the bone and pay forty pounds for a Cure; the latter whereof did startle me more than the former: So upon your Encouragement I made use of your Pills only, which by Gods help, did so vanquish the humour that fed the part grieved, and also all other Distempers Caused thereby, that in nine weeks I was perfectly recovered, and so coutinue, to the admiration of all that knew me in that weak condition, At Salt-Ash in the County of cornwall, one Mrs. and Binny having her Lips Distempered with a corrupt blood, for several years together: her Husband( being a rich man) made use of several Physicians, who drew from him at least forty pounds, but from his wife not the least of her Distemper, but being persuaded to the use of these Pills, was perfectly cured without the help of any other medicine. Also in St. Stephens by Salt-Ash one Phineas Harwood a Boy of seven years old was perfectly cured of the Kings evil, having no less then fourteen Running Wounds on him( when he began to take them) and the Corruption that was wont to issue out of the Wounds, the Lad vomited up at his Mouth. Likewise one Thomas skin of the same Parish, was bruised in several parts of his Body, insomuch that he was very sick( as was supposed unto death) was perfectly cured by these Pills only, and that very suddenly. One bridget Axford of the same Parish, being in a deep Consumption( as was generally thought) with the use of these Pills was perfectly cured, to the wonder of all her Neighbours, though they had no visible Operation on her Body in at least ten days after her taking them. One Mrs. Dixon was troubled very sadly for two years at the least with gniping gnawing pains in the Belly, and by the use of these Pills and Gods blessing upon it, was cured▪ For before she had taken of my Pills six times she had a live Worm came from her by Siege four yards long. The Woman lives in Deadmans Place in Southwark near unto the Colledge-gate, her Age is about thirty four years, the Worm came from her the latter end of May, 1663 If any desire to see the Worm, I have it by me. She also voided another which was seven yards long. I shall acquaint you of one Mr. Tomlinson at the Sign of the Golden Hat and Feather in St. Olaves Street, who h●d an Ulcer in his Head, which for three years time put him to great misery, and no small expense of money, in which time he had made use of Doctors and chirurgeons, but none could reach his distemper; but by the blessing of God, taking my Pills, they have done it, which is such a Cure that makes all men that know it wonder: for I think such a Cure can hardly be produced. A Friend of mine coming into the company of a young man, who having the POX, made his Condition known to my Friend, who gave him but two Boxes of my Pills, and in three weeks time he was perfectly cured, although he scarce went to bed sober all that time: and within three weeks after he married a Wife, and both of them very well to this day. This was done in December 1662. One thing more I cannot pass by, to acquaint the World withal, Concerning a man in a very sad Condition: For the first time that I came to him, I found him sitting in a Chair, and his Legs laid up upon another Chair, and so full of pain that he was not able to riseout of the place, but by the help of his Wife and Servants. He had kept one in his house some five months, who did administer unto him, but in all that time he found no good; then he took one box of my Pills, and he took them from two to three, four, five and six, and so on, daily increasing, till he took fourteen at one time, and in taking out the whole Box, they never gave him a stool extraordinary( as he thought) nor any Vomit, neither could he find himself one jot the better. Small encouragement( a man would think) to take any more; but I told him, if ever he were cured it must be by these Pills; then he took another Box, and whereas he took till he came to fourteen of the first Box, he could take of the second Box but three or four, because they then wrought so strongly upon him both by Vomit and Stool; and then was the man in good hope of Cure. Well, he took a third Box, and before that was half spent, they broken him out all over his body into Scabs, and sent out his Distemper with a Pox: I set down this example to convince some persons of their Folly, who have had some Distempers upon them many years, and they think by taking of my Pills four or five times to be cured, and if things be not presently according to their expectation, neglect and slight them; not considering that a three, and so a Disease, that hath had a long time in rooting will require so much the longer time to root out again: But to all such persons I say I had rather they would let alone my Pills, and keep their Money and their Diseases too. Sir, At cambden in Gloucester-shire, I gave of your Pills in number eight, to a poor man afflicted with the ston, and his Urine had been stopped for two days: In four hours upon their operation he had ease; and taking a Dose every morning for a week many small Stones and much Sand came away by Urine. A woman who by the Lues Venerea had almost lost her speech, her Uvula being so swelled and the Fauces ulcerated, that she could but whisper, her feet and legs suffered pains like those of the Gout; in the taking of a Box and half of these Pills, was restored to her speech and quit of her pains. These with many more were communicated from one experienced in physic. The Wife of John Wilson of Bourn in Lincolnshire, was swelled with dropsy and Tympany as big as two women, and judged past recovery, was after two years illness cured by these Pills in a little time. LETTERS. Much Honoured Sir, IN general I have found the operation of your Pills to be safe and admirable to remove such infirmities as other physic cannot reach; more particularly I have experience of their efficacy in mine own Family I myself have been sickly from my youth up, and have taken much physic, but never any to be compared to them, for my infirmities increased and natural strength abated yearly, till I met with these excellent Pills. The first occasion of my taking them was an extreme Pain in my head of long continuance, I feared an imposthume, but after I made use of your Pills, I was soon freed from that pain, and also from divers other infirmities; my health and strength renewed to the admiration of all those that knew me formerly: I gave them to my younger Daughter, sickly many years, we feared a Consumption; to mine eldest Daughter, troubled with a tumour in her Ear, the pain so violent that we feared either immediate Death or distraction, but through Gods blessing on your Pills, they were soon rid of their Infirmities. I gave them to my Wife, much subject to the palsy, and great benefit she finds by them. This good success in mine own Family emboldened me to recommend them to many others who find them to be excellent in very many and great distempers and diseases, both acute and chronical. Your much obliged Friend and Servant William Hewson. Dublin, Dec. 17. 1664 Reverend Doctor, I Thought good to give you a Relation of the rare effects of your Pills with us in Ireland. A Servant of my own, William Mathews by name, my Steward, being abroad in my service, was taken seven miles from home, with a violent Stitch in his side, so that being necessitated to ride a foot place, was not able to stand still nor speak, but groaned in most terrible manner with pain: judging it to be a pleurisy, I gave him four of your Pills, which gave him so much Ease, that he fell a sleep, and after one hours waking gave him a Vomit, which eased him so much that he restend well all night, and the next day rose, and was pretty well. To one about twelve years of age, troubled five years with a very great Belly extremely hard, I gave some of your Pills bruised in White-wine, which wrought most upward, and sometimes downward, and sometimes operated no way visible, yet in a months time brought the bigness and hardness of her belly down. Another of my servants about Christmas last became diseased with a languishing Sickness, a hollow Cough, loss of stomach, flesh and spirit, so that he dould digest no sustenance, and was in effect a dying man; I gave him some of your Pills, which before they operated made him so sick, tha the thought he should have died, and about three hours after he vomited twice adust Melancholy and Choler; and making him some comfortable Broth he took it, and thought he should have thrown it up as formerly he did all that he took, but it stayed with him. Being very weak, and the weather extreme frosty, I durst not give him of them often, yet when I though convenient, I gave him again and again, which wrought both ways with him, and most commonly what he voided upward was a gluterous substance, much like the stuff that comes from an old Ulcer, of a most ugly colour and great quantity; but in the end, with the Blessing of God in two months time he was able to ride, work, eat hearty. Another of my Servants was taken with an headache, a●d a pain in his left side, and all night both were so violent, that he was in a high Fever, I gave him three Pills, and about two hours after they gave him a Vomit, which took away much of his pain, and Fever away, so that he restend well that night; and the next day I gave him more Pills, which did not visibly operate; and the next day he was well. A woman being troubled for two years with often Faintings and Swoonings, sometimes twice a day, sometimes once or twice in two or three days, was by your Pills cured, which brought up much Water, Choler and green stuff. I have been myself troubled with the hypochondriac Melancholy, and some time past, the effects have been very tedious and bad; I have these three months past once a week taken of your Pills, and find good by them and trust, with the blessing of God upon them, to live more healthful and comfortable then formerly. I remain, Reverend Sir, Your Friend, R. B. Dunbuan near Dublin. Feb. 4. 1664. Honoured Doctor. HAving this opportunity, I thought to acquaint you with the effect of your Pills upon myself in reference to my distemper( which is the ston both in the Reins and Bladder) I have taken them at times near two years, and I will assure you I did never take them, but they did bring away Stones or Sand or both from me. Except one time that I took them for an extraordinary pain in one of my shoulders, which pain was so exceeding great, that I could not move my Arm to put on my clothes, neither did I take any rest for two or three days and nights: then I took five Pills( which is my usual Do●e) and I could not perceive them to work any where else about me but in my shoulder, where my pain lay, and they did quickly give me ease and cured my shoulder. I seldom find any pain or heat in my back or rei●s, but if I take Pills, I am sure to be well quickly. Not long since I was taken with a violent pain in my back, on the left side, where I used to be pained with the ston, which continued from Monday noon till Thursday mor●ing, all which time I was in much pain: the Thursday morning about five of the clock I took five Pills, which in less than two hours gave me much ease, and I did perceive the stones more down into my bladder, where they did cause much pain some days; then I voided one great ston, a● big and of the same form of a small fill bea●d kernel, it was so big that when I saw the top appear, I was forced to pluck it out with my fingers and with it came many more less; that afternoon I voided above seven score and the next two days about forty more, since which I have felt little pain. Sir, I shall onely say this, that according to my knowledge they have don●… many people good, but did never know them do any one harm. Sir, this is all at present from him that is, Your highly engaged Friend, John Duncombe. Windover June 5. 1665. Noble Doctor, I Have( with some small intermissions) taken your Pills these fifteen Month the necessity of my disease forcing me to make a full experiment of them When I began to take them, I may truly say I was deploratus à medic●, havin●… suffered much from divers learned and worthy men, without any success, besides the increasing of my P●●son-diseases, which were Scurvy, dropsy, Win●… Gout,( the last the worst and most tormenting) These complext and contrar●… Diseases, I laboured under for three years in my Prison, in which, what was a●… ministered against the one, brought and increased the other upon me. Sir, 〈…〉 intend not to trouble you with any large Discourse, I know it would be t●…dious, only in thankfulness to God, from whose influence and blessing alone d●…pends the efficacy of every creature, and in due acknowledgements to you, 〈…〉 think fit to let you know, that by the blessing of God upon your Pills I am( 〈…〉 far as I know) perfectly cured of the dropsy and Scurvy. When I began 〈…〉 take them my teeth were ready to fall out, and my gums festered like a gull Horse back, and I was swelled from head to foot. And as for my other to●…menting Disease( the Wind-gout) though I cannot say I am perfectly cur●… of it, yet I bless God it is so mitigated, that it's tolerable, and though it do return upon me, yet holding on in taking your Pills, they always prev●… against it,( though with great strugglings) and it grows less and less. T●… manner of working these Pills is so various, that I believe none can pr●…mise how they will work three times together; sometimes by Vomit, som●…times by Stool, sometimes by both, sometimes by neither, but most constant by Spitting, and ever concluding with the old Wives remedy for the Win●… The truth is, their operation is as if they were Rational rather than Natur●… Agents; what they find at present most annoying or threatening Nature, th●… they fall upon by affording and applying to Nature a succour and vert●… against it: Sir, God has put a great honour upon you, in making you the i●…strument of bringing this rare Medicament into the World for the good 〈…〉 Mankind, the like to which I do not think hath been since the World bega●… Sir, I am bound to subscribe myself, Your very thankful and obliged Friend and Servant. J. Downs. Tower, May 1. 1665. Sir, I Shall here declare what the goodness of God hath done for me by the means of your Pills; I had some nine or ten years ago taken, by means of my employment at that time, exceeding violent Colds one after another, which did occasion a wind and a water together in my flesh, at some times ●… o such a pain, that I had no rest night nor day, but was so torn, that I could not contain myself from crying out many times in much bitterness, yet ●… o swelling or any thing to be seen. I was so lame that sometimes I have been ●… aken off from my employment six weeks, sometimes eight weeks, nay, ●… ometimes more than ten or eleven weeks together. Then it pleased the Lord I heard of your Pills, and took the quantity of four or five Boxes of ●… hem, by which means I doubt not but there is perfect cure wrought upon ●… e, besides some other inferior distempers quiter removed; so that through ●… ercy, I am in very good health: I desire to give God the glo●y, and you ●… hanks. So I rest Thy Friend in love, Will. Pryer. From Martins Lane in Colchester, April 10. 1665. London, June 14. 1665. Sir, HAving had experience of the incomparable virtue of your famous Pills I have thought good i● gratitude to give you an account of the bene●… ts I have received by them about August last, by the persuasion of some friends ●… eing me in a very sad and deplorable, condition, having then been under the ●… octors and surgeons hands nigh twelve moneths for the cure of a Fistula ●… ana, but found no help for them, but rather after much torture and despair 〈…〉 myself ever to be recovered, I did procure a box of your Pills, which did 〈…〉 my admiration, within three weeks that I made use of them, take away ●… e pain and cause of the Distemper, so that I was able to go healthfully ●… 'bout my occasions, and in November last, rid on horse-back three or four ●… undred miles. Your faithful Friend and Servant. Nich. Hudleston. POSTSCRIPT.

Absalom because he had no Son to keep his Name, he erected a Pillar, and called it after his own Name, 2 Sam c. 18. v. 18. I have had Sons, but they are not, and so I shall call the Pill after my own name, LIONEL LOCKYERS PILL. Directions for the use of the Pill. AS to the manner of its Administration, it is so highly prepared, that it may very conveniently, as well as safely, be administered 〈◇〉 ●ind of persons, whether young or old, strong or weak, Infants new-born, or old men where Nature is much decayed. Every one that makes use of my Pill, must use Discretion in the Do●e,( and in that be a Physician to himself) and take or give it, as strength and the Disease require, and then the Patient shall not fail of his end or desire, nor the Administrer of credit and honour. The general Rules for its use are these: They may be taken at any time of the year, either in hot or could seasons. They ought not to be taken upon a full stomach. Those which are not acquainted with the manner of their operation on themselves, should keep within, or warmer than usual when they take them first. They may be taken at night after a slight supper, or none rather, or early in the morning, and slept after, if you will; or upon necessity, at any time of the day, as in Surfeits, and an hour or two before an Ague fit. To drink Posset-Ale with them when they work much, will be best, a draft of any other warm liquour will serve the turn, though but small Beer; which need not be taken in three or four hours after, except they work sooner. He that takes of them onely for a Purge, and for once, may take about five at a time; which if bruised, and mi●t with a little Honey or Wine, will scarce fail to answer his end. Those which take them for long Chronical Diseases, may begin at two, and so proceed daily to increase the number by one in a day, to seven, eight, or nine, or stop sooner, and take them whole as they be, which way they strengthen most, or beat them to powder, if they would have them to evacuate much. To children one Pill is enough for once, or two at most, and to weak children half an one may serve. To secure the true Preparation in the hands of faithful and intelligent persons, I have given my Receipt to Mr. Tho. Fyge, in which I had no other design but the public good, as I have many years declared; as also to my Nephew Mr. John Watts, Operator in my house, from whom you need not doubt of the true medicine, and all other pretenders to the knowledge of it, I disown and protest against, for all their living with me; and he that takes any Pills but of Mr. Fyge and Mr. Watts after my death, is deceived; for they onely know its due and true chemical Preparation. The Pills are made up in latin Boxes, and sealed with my Coat of Arms, and after my decease to be also sealed with the Arms of Mr. Fyge, to prevent counterseits; and he and my Nephew may take what other course they will for that purpose. The price of a Box which contains about an hundred, a few more or less, according to their bigness, is 4 s. and half a Box is 2 s. and no where to be had but where the Book directs you. ADVERTISEMENT. SInce the decease of Dr. Lockyer, to prevent deceit and mistake, all the Boxes of Pill● are wrapped up in white Paper, and sealed with his Coat of Arms, viz. Three Boars head●, and the Arms of Tho. Fyge, which are the six Flower-de-Liuces and three Spur Rowels; and in the papers are writ the names of Tho. Fyge and John Watts, by which means you may know his from all others: they are now sold by wholesale and retail, by Tho. Fyge at the Sugar loaf without Bishopsgate, John Watts in S. Thomas Southwa●k.
