This Choice and Noble Preparation is added here as a Seal to all the rest as being a great help for renewing and restoring of Languishing Nature.   

AS the preceding Catalogue informs of some sublime, and other the most useful Chemical Preparations; be pleased to receive this further information concerning some eminent and particular Cures, whereby the Distempers following may be deprived of that advantage they otherwise might arrive at.  

I. Of the Scurvy.  
The Eminently Afflicting Distemper of this Land radically considered, the Learned acquiesce herein, that it is an ill habit of the body, or a disproportion of Humours, commonly called the Scarvy, whose hostile quality assaults nothing less than the purest part of the blood, whence a putrefaction thereof ensues, and consequently an Abridgement of Life, even in Infancy, if a timely Remedy be not found. Wherefore in any Sex or Age or at any season of the Year, in England, Holland, or America, let our Antiscorbutic Medicines be known, and esteemed as true Specificks, which with much ease preserve from, and Cure the Scurvy.  

The Symptoms of the Scurvy in the Phlegmatic and Melancholic are  
Ill digestion of food, extreme cold and dulness of head, shortness and difficulty of breathing, weakness in the back, pain in the Limbs, more especially in the knees and joints of the Arms, swelling in the Legs and Stomach, botches and break forth of the Body, with a heaviness of the whole, and great aptness to sleep.   

For Cure of these, Use  
Spiritus Cochleareae Spirit of Scurvygrass Pilulae Regales Royal Pills Essentia Stomachica Stomach Essence Pill. Polychrest. Pills of great Use.   

Symptoms of the Scurvy in the Sanguine and Choleric.  
Great Drought, and inveterate Headache, pains in the sides, inflammations, especially in the Legs and Face, dizziness in the Head, and great unaptness to sleep, also impostumes, and rise in several parts of the body, which are Cured with  
Elixir Cochleareae Elixir of Scurvygrass Pilulae Regales Royal Pills Spiritus Adjuvans. Helping Drops.  
Descending to particulars we begin with the Head, and Medicines conducing to the Cure thereof.    

II. Diseases of the Head.  
The Head is a noble yet tender part of the Body, and is often weakened by Distempers incident thereunto, which are sufficiently known to the Patient, by the pain and stupidity they expose him to, and to us by Symptoms, Names or Terms appropriate, as Impostumes, Convulsions, Apoplexies, Vertigo, Megrim, Lethargy, Falling Sickness, Palsy, etc. In order to the Curing whereof we have successfully used and do recommend  
Elixir Sulphuris Vitrioli Elixir with the Sulphur Vitriol Pilulae Polychrest. Pills of great Use Spiritus Cephalicus Drops to strengthen the Head Aqua Ophthalmica Eye Water Pilulae Francofortenses. Francfort Pills.   

III. Diseases afflicting the Neck and Throat.  
Some are afflicted with Inflammations, whence arise Cancers and Ulcers, others have hard tumours and swell, called Scrophulae, or the Kings-Evil, which fix themselves there as much as in any part of the Body, and as much as most Enemies to Health.  
For the Cure of which we recommend such Medicinal Preparations as the nature of the grief requires wholly to extinguish both the Diseases and its Symptoms, as are  
Piluae Polychrestae Pills of great Use Pilulae Caeruleae Blue Pills Pulvis Resolutivus Resolving Powder Tinctura digestiva Digestive Tincture Elixir Cochleareae Elixir of Scurvygrass Linimentum Vitrioli. Lineament of Vitriol.   

iv For the Stomach.  
A weak or foul Stomach if the humours annoying it be not evacuated or corrected, it not only is disabled to convert food into good nourishment, but on the contrary corrupts what should nourish, and turns it into an unprofitable mass, whereby the Body suffers, and many distempers follow, which may be prevented or remedied by the Use of such Medicines as are particularly adapted to remove the evil, and settle or establish the good order thereof, viz.  
Pilulae Species (Salutaris) Species Pills Pills Polychrest. Pills of great Use Essentia Stomachica Stomach Essence Aqua Diaphoretica Sudorific Water Acetum Antimonii Vinegar of Antimony Gas Sulphuris. Ens Primum.   

V For the Breast and Lungs.  
The distempers and afflictions of which are inveterate Coughs, Catarrhs, Astmahs, Consumptions, caused by a flux of Humours or rheumatic distillations on the Lungs; attended with shortness of breath, want of appetite, and many other infirmities, which so impaireth the Body, that no part thereof enjoyeth the function, nature hath ordained it for: to cure which we commend such Medicines as are truly renovating and effectually restoring the Patients with ease, viz.  
Balsam. Sulph. Communis Balsam of Sulphur, common Extractum Sulphuris Extract of Sulphur Pilulae pectorals Pectoral Pills Spiritus Adjuvans Helping Drops Acetum Antimonii Vinegar of Antimony Gas Sulphuris Ens primum Remedium Principis. Prince's Drops.   

VI For the Heart.  
The profoundest Students in Nature, and Spagyrical Science in all Ages, esteemed it their duty to regard the Heart as the seat of Life, nor would I appear to have any other than a venerable esteem of this Aphorism, and to tender both the Fabric and Life of Man, as the workmanship and delight of the great Creator. In order whereunto as it hath pleased him to place me, where I might be serviceable to them, so have I made it my study to be faithful herein, and by the same hand have been conveyed unto me such select cordial Medicines, as are necessary to fortify the Heart, and to withstand or overcome the afflicting pains of it; such as are  
Tinctura Lilii Tincture of Lily Elixir Vitae Elixir of Life Essentia Croci Essence of Saffron Spiritus adjuvans Helping Spirit Tinctura Solis Tincture of Gold Aurum Potabile. Potable God.   

VII. Obstructions of the Liver and weakness of the Spleen.  
The Liver being the fountain or spring of the little Rivers or Veins of the Microcosm, if this be obstructed or hindered in its office, the other parts of the body languish and complain thereof, whence dangerous diseases are threatened. The Spleen also when it is beset and overcharged with ill juices commonly called humours, it is afflicted and stirs up the passion thereof, afflicts the vitals, oppresseth the Spirits, and fiills the Body with vapours and melancholy fits, and annoys the head with dizziness and other afflictions, which are so many, that for brevity sake we omit them: however we have Medicines if not Arcanums, that powerfully tend to reconcile the discord in Nature, which ariseth on that account, viz.  
Pilulae Lunares Lunar Pills Pilulae Polychrest. Pills of great Use Pilulae Regales Royal Pills Elixir Cochleareae Elixir of Scurvygrass Tinctura Tartari Tincture of Tartar Tinctura Aurata Golden Tincture Sal Martis. Salt of Mars.   

VIII. For the Bowels and Belly.  
These parts of the Body are also often afflicted, as with Gripe, Excoriations, Bloodyflux, Colic, Iliack-passion, and other violent paint, for which there are special Remedies found to restore them (with God's Blessing) to their natural and ordained ease, viz.  
Bezoardicum Metallicum Metalline Bezoar Species Salutaris Species Powder Elixir Salutis Elixir of Health Elixir Juniperinum Elixir of Juniper-berries Aurum Potabile Potable Gold Pilulae Regalis Pills Royal.   

IX. For the Stone, Gravel of the Kidneys and Stoppage of Urine, also weakness of the Back.  
The Stone and Gravel by their extremity of pain, have exposed many Patients to great Travail and Expense to seek a Remedy, and when they fall into the hand of such as attempt the Cure by way of cutting, it often misseth its desired end, to the Patient's grief, and sadning of their Friends. But the Medicines we give are not only safe, but effectual in dissolving or wasting gradually the hardened matter, to the Comfort of the Patient, as may be experienced in the following Medicines.  
Spiritus Nitri dulcis Spirit of Nitre dulcified Pulvis Lithontripticus Stone Powder Elixir Salutis Elixir of Health Sal Succini Salt of Amber Aqua Nephritica. Nephritick Water.   

X. For the Gout and Sciatica.  
The Gout is attended with pains so violent, that those that feel them think it impossible to express the sense thereof, to speak nothing of the long continuance of the same with some, which at last ushers them to the Shades, yet for this rooted grief is also a Balm afforded, viz.  
Tinctura Digestiva Digestive Tincture Aqua Diaphoretica Sudorific Water Pilulae Antipodagricae Gout Pills Pil. Polychrest. Pills of great Use Balls. Animalis Animal Balsam Ol. Butleri. Butler 's Oil.   

XI. Surfeits.  
Surfeits either of heat or cold, eating or drinking any thing noxious to the Stomach, are incident to most Complexions and Ages, which often bring the strongest to that weakness, which terminates in the Grave. In this cause, without any offence to any, we are furnished with such Remedies as do recover with pleasure and ease. viz.  
Elixir Vitae Elixir of Life Pil. Polychrest. Pills of great Use. Pilulae Regales Pills Royal Essentia Stomachica Stomach Essence Species Salutaris. Species Powder.   

XII. Impostumes and Pleurisies.  
Impostumes proceed from an indisposition of the blood, and thereby become Chronical, or from accident and then they are acute, as in the pleurisy, which often assaults the Life with such violence, as puts the Patient in danger of a speedy death, to prevent which we recommend  
Spiritus Adjuvans Helping Drops Pilulae Regales Royal Pills Pil. Polychrest. Pills of great Use Unguentum Diaphoreticum Diaphoretic Ointment Emplastrum Aureum Golden or Stitch Plaster. Specif. Digestiv. cum Aq. Regin. Hung. Tinctura Digestiva Digestive Tincture Aqua Regin. Hungariae. Queen of Hungaries water.   

XIII. Fevers and Small Pox.  
Fever's are no less than a passion of the blood, which hath often boldly challenged the Physician, by afflicting his Patient, to allay the fury and rage thereof. In this case we advise the region of the Stomach to be anointed with our Diaphoretick Balsam, then take  
Spirit. Adjuvans Helping Drops Pulvis Bezoardicus Bezoartick Powder Circulatum Medium. Middle Circulate.   

XIV. Smallpox.  
When the Small Pox are attended with a kind of Malignant Fever, be the Patiented young or old use the Diaphoretick Balsam to the Stomach, as also to the Reins of the Back, and the side too, in case there be any pain there, which will soon procure ease and bring out the Small Pox, which being out, and any one of the following Medicines being administered, the Sick will find the benefit, and the Observer satisfied.  
Pil. Polychrest. Pills of great Use Spiritus Adjuvans Helping Drops Tinctura Solis Tincture of Gold Aurum Potabile. Potable Gold.   

XV. Tertian or quartan Agues.  
The Cause of Agues is in Man, it being a Creation of his own, a Chaos, made up of passion and fear, by which a matter is contracted, into which a particular spirit enters, of a violent nature, by the continuance of which other diseases are contracted according to the habit of the body, which daily grows weaker, because of the continual assaults of Life, which at last unwillingly yields to leave its habitation: to prevent which the vital spirit is to be assisted, and the accidents removed by such experienced Medicines, to a perfection of the Cure, which hath been often performed in old and young, both Summer and Winter: such are  
Pil. Lunares Lunar Pilln Pil. Polychrestae Pills of great use Aq. Febrifuga Water against Agues Bezoard. Minerale Mineral Bezoar Pil. Regales Royal Pills Emplast. Febrifugum Ague Plaster Elixir Diaphoreticum. Sweat-causing Elixir.   

XVI. Weakness of the Back.  
By reason of relaxation or fluxes, and other griefs, is the back often weakened, and weakness in that part of the Body is an inlet to many distempers, to prevent and restore which, we direct Medicines proper and effectual for the curing thereof, provided the Patient take first for three or four days after another of Antiscorbutic Pills, and then  
Pilulae Roborantes Strengthening Pills Pilulae Polychrest. Pills of great use Extract. Specificum. Specific Extract.   

XVII. For the Dropsy.  
The Dropsy is a Distemper known to reduce the esteemed and worthy Structure of Human Nature into an unprofitable Mass, favouring neither the corpulent nor the slender. But our design here being chief to give a Catalogue of Medicines prepared, and not so much a Treatise of the Cause of Diseases, our omission thereof will be excusable. Yet this we say, whilst the Liver is obstructed, the Reins defective, the Kidneys wasting, and weakness predominant, the event inevitably follows. But the means ordained for the Cure being carefully prepared, hath not returned without the desired Success, being in time carefully administered, such Medicaments are  
Pilulae Lunares Lunar Pills Tinct. Cordialis Cordial Tincture Elixir Vitae Elixir of Life Elixir Salutis Elixir of Health Pilulae Polychrest. Pills of great Use Extract. Hydrop. Extract against Dropsies Aurum Potabile. Potable Gold.   

XVIII. For the Palsy.  
The Palsy afflicts not only the Head, but taketh also possession of other parts, to the debilitating and making useless, part of, if not the whole Body, if seasonable administrations of restorative, vivifying and strengthening Medicines be not procured, for the preventing and speedy Cure of which, we recommend these following Medicines, by which many with the blessing of God have been restored to the activity and use of their Limbs.  
Pilulae Lunares Lunar Pills Pilulae Regales Royal Pills Pilulae Polychrest. Pills of great Use Elixir Lavendulae Elixir of Lavender Spiritus Adjuvans Helping Drops Aurum Potabile. Potable Gold.   

XIX. Ruptures and Broken-Bellies.  
This infirmity often happens to many, either by violent exercise, as hard riding, sudden lifting or overstreaching of the body, or from indispositions, as ventrosities and extreme cold, when the body is reduced to impotency by continued and weakening afflictions. Those that are bowed down and labour under the deviding violenqu thereof, are most sensible of the misery they endure. Would to God they might be sensible of his Mercies herein, that puts me, as experienced in the effectual curing hereof, to publish the same for the content and satisfaction of many. And please to be informed, that to avoid prolixity, we delight not in the tedious commendations either of these or any other Medicinal Preparations: yet I doubt not that those who shall have occasion to use them, may find the benefit thereof, in a far higher degree of Service, than I commend them.  
Pilulae Regales Royal Pills Pilulae Roborantes Strengthening Pills Spirit. Adjuvans Helping Drops Unguent. Primum First Ointment Unguent. Socundum Second Ointment Emplastrum Tertium. Third Plaster.   

XX. Fistula's and stubborn Ulcers.  
Fistula's when once settled have always been difficult to remove, the humours which cause it being so corroding and fretting, that it forceth a current where Nature never intended it, and that often near the Eye, a place for its tenderness very remarkable, as well as in other parts of the body, for which we are stored with excellent Balm and Specific Remedies appropriated to the several members, wheresoever they happen to fix themselves, as  
Aqua Diaphoretica Sudorific Water Pilulae Ceruleae Blue Pills Pilulae Regales Royal Pills Extract. Animale Animal Extract Extract. Vegetabile Vegetable Extract Pilulae Polychrestae Pills of great Use.   

XXI. Leprosy and Tetters.  
No doubt but those who are troubled with this Evil, would be glad to be clear of it, for nature allows as little of deformity as pain: neither can these diseases be said to be without pain, for they are numbered among the Enemies of Life. However effectual Remedies are here prescribed for the rooting of them out, as also for preserving the inward parts from being hurt thereby, and consequently from the danger that would ensue: for the Cure of these make use of  
Aqua Diaphoretica Sudorific Water Pilulae Ceruleae Blue Pills Extract. Animale Animal Extract Tinctura Digestiva Digestive Tincture Unguent. Flavum. Yellow Ointment.   

XXII. Sore Breasts and Cancers.  
The Breasts and Paps are known to be very tender parts, and subject to many griefs, which some have found mortal, others given over as incurable, especially in Cancers. To be silent in what God hath discovered to us herein, were to obscure a Blessing many might desire, and in a modest sense have right to enjoy. Is there not a Balm ordained for the afflictions of any part of the Body? Except we prove ungrateful to God and unjust to ourselves, we cannot plead ignorance, as to the order and manner to the aforesaid griefs, in any part of the Body, whilst they are yet growing, for several have found the certainty of it to their comfort and our Satisfaction, the Medicines are  
Pilulae Polychrest. Pills of great Use Extract. Animale Animal Extract Mercur. Diaphoreticus Mercury causing Sweat Elixir Cochleareae Elixir of Scurvygrass Ens Veneris Ens of Venus Oleum Butleri Butler 's Oil Pilulae Gallicae. Gallican Pills.   

XXIII. Barrenness.  
Barrenness may not justly be attributed to Nature, for Nature was ordained to bear and bring forth, and therefore rarely nourisheth any thing that opposeth her course herein: nevertheless accidents often prevail against Nature, whence obstructions proceed, and unnatural consequences do follow. But having by God's permission contemplated the state of things that are, I took Liberty to write of this Subject, seeing that many in a married state, who might have expected to bear Children, have proved Barren; and know this to be a certain Truth, that unnatural defects and obstructions may by a Divine Blessing on Physical Means be effectually removed, and Nature restored to enjoy its decreed and ultimate end or honour. Whence know that our consideration and studies herein for Medicines, have plentifully furnished us to the certain content and satisfaction of many. Which follow:  
Elixir Cordiale Cordial Elixir Pilulae Polychrest. Pills of great Use Tinct. Corallorum Tincture of Corals Tinct. Solis Tincture of Gold Aurum Potabile. Potable Gold.   

XXIV. Of Children and Rickets.  
The Tenderness of the Ancients towards Children in the time of breeding their Teeth, extended to careful search of such means as might contribute to their Ease and Relief in the Extremity and Violence thereof, the Knowledge of which we Promote and Esteem, having found profitable,  
Manila Necklaces Pilulae Polychrest. Pills of great Use Tinct. Antimonii Tincture of Antimony Aurum Potabile Potable Gold Extractum Catholicum Universal Extract Remedium Principis. Prince's Drops.   

Besides the forerecited Maladies, there is one more which those that are afflicted with, never desire to possess one year, much less to Entail it on their Posterity; the malignity whereof infects the Bones that flourish with Marrow, and the Breasts that flow with Milk, fills the Body with Wounds, unnatural Sores and Putrefactions, but before it arrive to such an exalted degree of danger, it is attended with Syptoms of less Note, sufficiently known not to be repeated here.  
The Cure whereof in that regular way as Nature requires, we most approve and esteem of, which is carefully practised by us, whereby to rectify the great indisposition of the Body, and to recover the corrupted mass of the blood to health, in order to which make use of  
Aqua Diaphoretica Sudorific Water Pilulae Gallicae Gallican Pills Aq. Expulsiva Expulsive Water Pilulae Polychrest. Pills of great Use Merc. Diaphoreticus. Mercury causing sweat.   

The Conclusion.  
Other Diseases, Sicknesses and Infirmities not mentioned here were omitted for Convenience sake, and not of neglect, or for want of a due consideration of the Cause and Cure thereof: but we would esteem the Opinion of the Ancients in this matter, whose Labour and Care was undoubtedly great, both to preserve and recover health, as their large Volumes extant witness for them; as also to honour this Worthy, Princely and Ancient if not Sacred Science, and would not so much as have the terms thereof prostituted to every uncultivated mind, but with Gravity, commended and admired as the necessary means to enjoy Health, during the time of our Pilgrimage, or sojourning here: whereby, if the Divine Power permit, we may arrive to a full Age, which was in days past accounted a great Blessing.    The Fear of the Lord prolongeth Life; for of the Most High cometh Healing.
