These Family-Pills are of excellent use for all travellers, Seamen, and such persons who live on bad diet, in ill airs, moist places, and near the sea coast, and of such as are given to excessive drink, and who cannot attend upon a cure, but are forced to go about their business; they may take them to sea with them, (because they keep their virtues many years, nor does the water spoil them) the which will be found to stand them in great stead in all sea-sicknesses, sickly seasons, Calentures, Fevers, Fluxes, Poisons, Agues, Scurvys, Pox, etc. which commonly afflict such as go to Sea. 6. They give present ease, relief, and comfort, working gently by Urine and stool. they strengthen the body, and agree with all constitutions; thereby curing most curable diseases, taking away all pains lameness and inward stoppages: They are an excellent head-purge for all diseases in the head, as headache migraines giddiness and Rheumy Eyes, beyond any medicine ever yet known: and for all such as have spoilt their bodies by heats and colds, or hard-drinking, in their young days; more can scarcely be done by any medicine. 7. They cure the Scurvy, when it is grown so bad, as to become scandalous, so as that many people think it to be the POX: for the Scurvy often causes great pains in the head and nose, shoulders and shin bones, with other pains all over the whole body, dulness and heaviness, and reddish or bluish spots and break out in the skin, weakness in the back and loins, a bad stomach, and sometimes loss of appetite, looseness and soreness of the teeth throat, and mouth, a discoloured skin, with spots, stains, pimples, morphew and scurf, and a general weakness, and faintness all over the whole body, insomuch at last that it gets into the bones, and infects the very marrow of them; this cruel disease these family pills cure at a few times taking. 8. They purge by stool phlegm, choler, and melancholy; they dispose old Ulcers, Fistula's, running sores, sore-Breasts, sore-eyes, scald heads, Kings-evil sores, tetters, ringworms, salt humours, scabs, or any other break out to a speedy healing, by purging away the evil humours which feeds them. 9 They are an excellent help for all rise, Vapours, clogging, stuff, gnawing or illness at the stomach; for such as grow too fat, pursy, sweat or spit much, have costive or hot bodies, and for all such as have lost their complexions by the Scurvy, Jaundice, or green-sickness; such as are overtaken with lingering diseases, growing worse and worse every year than other, with melancholy stoppages in the head and breast, shortness of breath, and ill digestion, till such time as they fall into dropsies, the Jaundice, Hectic fevers or deep Consumptions, lingering and wasting away with dry coughs, wheezings, faint sweats and the like; these my Family-Pills carry off all those diseases the right way, by taking them once twice thrice or four times a month. 10. They are the only Pills now used, in the Cure of all the aforesaid diseases, not only in England, but in many foreign countries and Kingdoms, being cried up, and prized above all other medicines whatsoever, insomuch that in some hundreds of families, on most occasions, they are their only Physic; (and from hence they came to be called Family-Pills) being known to be safe in operation; and certain in the end proposed: for no person curable, troubled with any of the aforesaid diseases, hath failed of Cure, who has continued, (without delaying of time, or taking of other Physic) the use of these pills according to the directions aforesaid. 11. With these my Family Pills, I have cured two hundred and twenty Persons of the Scurvy; one hundred and twelve of the Dropsy; one hundred Eighty Six of the Greensickness; one hundred twenty five of the Evil; one hundred and fourteen of the Headache; ninety seven of Worms; Eighty four of the Jaundice; seventy three of stinking breaths; besides vast numbers of people, (which come daily to me) of most other distempers, with the drops I cured one hundred and thirty of Consumptions; one hundred forty two of pain and weakness of the back: and I have sold them and caused them to be given away to above two thousand persons that have had agues, with a promise to all such as bought them, that if they cured them not, they should have their money again; and yet never heard to this day, that ever they missed the cure of one man, woman, or child; although I have used them upwards of 20 years. By using these pills and drops inwardly, and the balsam outwardly, I have cured above one hundred persons of the Gout, some of which had gone on Crutches above a dozen years. 12. They cure the Gonorrhaa and sharpness of Urine, with all manner of Diseases Veneral, although of many years standing; all ulcers and stoppages in the reins, bladder and womb; they kill all sorts of worms, cause a good appetite and a strong digestion; taking away all swell from the belly, Thighs, and Legs, being the best remedy known in the world for the Dropsy and Gout; taking away all manner of pains from the very bones, when no other means whatsoever 〈…〉 they dissolve the Stone, and bring away slime, Sand, and Gravel causing those to make water plentifully, which could not in many days before; this they have done in several hundreds to admiration. Many bed rid, and given over to all appearance, have unexpectedly met with a cure almost to a miracle; in so much that many learned Physicians, could not but admire at their Virtues. 13. The success and safety of these Pills, have brought them into credit and Estimation, almost through the whole world; forasmuch as they that take these, need not go under long, dangerous and chargeable courses of Physic, suffer by bad medicines, and be driven time after time from one Physician to another. 14. Where the disease has been of long continuance, a perfect Cure cannot be expected in 5 or 6 times taking, in those cases take them in the largest dose; and at le●st ten, fifteen, or twenty times, as need requires, omitting them sometimes a day or two, as you see cause. Lastly, They may be taken without confinement to the house, or keeping 〈…〉 there any positive necessity to take broth or posset drink, or the like with them, as in other Physic, but as the patiented pleases, being safe and gentle in their operation, and fit to be taken by all persons, from half a year old to threescore and upwards, at any time and season of the year.
