Elixir Magnum Vitae: OR, The Great ELIXIR of LIFE, Being the most admirable Cordial-Drink, and its singular Virtues, never before made Public; is now exposed to Sale, as the most excellent Preservative of Humane Bodies, for the general good of all Persons.  

THis Famous ELIXIR VITAE, was first brought into England by a Person of Quality, that for many years had traveled into most parts of the Christian World; who being a Curious Inspector into Nature, and about Forty years a Student in Physic, for his own Delight and Satisfaction, (but never for Profit or Gain) most happily found out this Secret or Arcanum, the only immediate Helper or Restorer of Nature; and has freely Administered the same, very frequently to his Friends in particular that stood in need thereof, as also to divers other Persons in his Travels, both Rich and Poor, to his great Commendation; and that is that Medicament that he always made use of, and called it his Jewel.   trademark 
And Note, That this Cordial-Drink, or Great Elixir, is generally esteemed (and highly valued) by all persons, that have tried it to be the most Incomparable, and far exceeding all Drinks or Elixirs, that has hitherto been exposed to Sale in this Nation.   

The Virtues of this Great ELIXIR of Life, are these, viz.  
IT is very prevalent against all inveterate pains of the Head, and defends the Brain from all noxious Fumes that arise from a foul Stomach, or the defects of the Spleen, watery and windy Vapours, which cause remaining unremoved occasions very unwelcome (and sometimes fatal) effects, as the Vertigo Megrim, or Giddiness or Swimming in the Head, also a Mist before the Sight, or an uncomfortable Dimness in the Eyes; in some persons they feel as it were a heavy weight on their Heads, others are subject to fall, like those with an Epilepsy, or much discomposed like those who are Paraletical; in others it produces Vomiting, and pains in the Head by fits, which is occasioned by a Costive body, but if this Elixir be applied, it certainly keeps the whole body open, and carries off the cause of these and almost innumerable other Maladies to admiration. It is most excellent in the cure of Sore and Rheumatic Eeys; for it takes away the internal cause, and wonderfully strengthens the Sight, it also diverts sharp Rheums that fall upon the Throat and Lungs from the Head; thereby causing sometimes Imposthumations, Quinseys', dry Coughs, or Hoarseness; and in short, so much impares the Lungs, that a shortness of breath, or Ptisick follows, and in some, tedious and linger Consumptions.  
It is infallible in the recovery of those that have lost their Smelling, or Tasting, it cures Imposthumes or Stuffing in the Head, or Noise in the Ears occasioned by cold; it preserves Hearing even to old age, and very much strengthens the Memory, and comforts the Animal, Vital, and Natural Spirits.  
'Tis of excellent operation in procuring a lost Appetite, helps bad Digestion, and the stoppage of the Stomach; and thereby restores languishing Nature and Melancholy, drooping Spirits. After any long sickness it procures a fresh quick and lively habit of Body, it powerfully opposes all black, adust, and complicated Humours, which are the grand Enemies of Nature, this Elixir being frequently taken, draws them out of the Veins and Arteries, and thereby purifies the whole Mass of Blood. It also removes all pains from the Heart, and perfectly cures all stoppage of Phlegm in such persons that are frequently in danger of being stifled in their sleep for want of breath; it also gives ease to aged persons in the Ptisick, and infallibly cures those that are young.  
If this Rich Cordial be constantly taken for some considerable time, it certainly cures the GOUT in those that have been long tormented therewith; in others it stifles it as it were in the Birth, extracting from all parts of the Body, those crude and viscous Humours, which may well be called the very Spawn and Noursher thereof, and this has been often verified in many persons by experience to their great satisfaction, it also frees the Joints of all Diseases incident unto them, to admiration; and infallibly expels clotted and putrified blood or corrupt matter by Stool and Urine, and thereby many internal Diseases have been cured, as Imposthumations in the Kidneys or inward parts, Ulcers therein, or in the Bladder, Surfeits of many years standing, or dangerous Impediments occasioned by inward cold, which otherwise might have ended in Death; and be assured there is no Medicament in the World comparable unto it in carrying off the dangerous effects of Drinking and Debauchery; for it immediately settles the Brain and Stomach, sweetens the Breath, which will be strongly tainted thereby, and procure a good Appetite It also brings away the Stone or Cravel by degrees, either in Bladder or Kidneys, to a Miracle; nor is there a better or more effectual Remedy to be had; for first it dissolves the Stone, and then expels it into Sand as fine as Flower, in the Urine; and not only so, but it totally destroys the Matter or Humour, which is the original cause thereof. This Famous Elixir, never fails to repair or restore the decayed or wasting Kidneys of Men or Women, and it certainly cleanseth both those, and the Reins also of all Putrefaction and Imperfections whatsoever, and thereby creates a free and wholesome passage of Urine.  
It is singularly prevalent against the Kings-Evil, Jaundice, Dropsy, and Scurvy; and 'tis a most sure Remedy against the Colic, or Griping of the Guts; and Bloodyflux in young or old; it stops Vomiting to admiration. Also this incomparable Elixir of Life, is so great a Friend to the Female Sex, that they cannot desire a greater, as relating to Health, which by all rational persons is (or aught to be) esteemed above all the Wealth in the World. It infallibly cures them of all unhappy Obstructions in Body, and thereby makes them capable of Conception.  
'Tis a certain Remedy against the Green-sickness of all sorts, and supports Nature in her pristine Strength and Vigour, procures a good Complexion, sweetens the Blood, and in fine puts the body into a very sound and healthful posture, as can in reason be desired.  
Moreover, it is most admirable in killing the Worms of all kinds, in young or old, as has been experienced by Thousands to their great comfort: and it speedily (and no less effectually) frees the Liver and Spleen from all Obstructions, and thereby cures the Fits of the Mother and Spleen, Falling-sickness, and all other Fits; It is a most excellent Medicine for Nurses, for it cleanses and throughly purifies the Blood, and thence proceeds good and wholesome Milk, and consequently healthy Children.  
This Elixir of Life never fails in curing the Rickets in Children, as also the Chincough, by opening the passages, it strengthens, cleanseth and heals, and carries off those sharp Humours that occasion the same.  
It is most excellent in the alleviating the Burning heat in the Parlms of the Hands or Soles of the Feet, for by a due application hereof, it gives the Patiented convenient refreshment, and is so friendly to nature, that it rarely fails to take away the cause of a Distemper, and then it follows most certainly that the effects must cease.  
It cleanseth the Spermatick Vessels of all crude Seed and Matter, and maketh the body lively and fit for Generation, and by that means helpeth Barrenness It also expels Poison, and is very effectual in rooting out the cause of all Agues, and Fevers; and is not only an Antidote, but a most excellent Cordial, in that Infectious and Mortal Disease of the Plague, from which, Good Lord deliver us.  
This incomparable Elixir is more precious than Gold, and will certainly (by God's assistance) preserve life in the greatest danger; therefore let none spoil its Operation in using their bodies to other Physic, if a sick person be not doomed to Death, or his life by Divine Permission not yet Terminated, no better Medicament need be administered, and whoever uses themselves to this Elixir, will very rarely have the Small Pox or Meosles  
It is a most excellent Medicine for those that go long Voyages to Sea, and preserves, as well as cures, those which are afflicted with the Scurvy, and 'tis no less excellent for all persons that in the Summer time frequently drink Mineral Waters, for it carries off the Dregs and Fecies that are usally left, and too often of very dangerous consequence.  
The World would undoubtedly put a high value upon this Elixir, did they but know its admirable Virtues, in purifying and sweetening the whole Mass of Blood, and consequently fortifying the Spirits, and thereby put the whole body in so sound and healthful a condition, that few Diseases shall be able to assault or offend it, since most Distempers must certainly veil (if Life be not terminated by God Almighty) to its innocent, but prevalent Virtue and Operation.   

Directions for the Administration of this Great Elixir of Life.  
THe Dose must be given thus, (consideration being had to the age and strength of the Patient) from the age of twenty and upwards, no person need take any more than three or four spoonfuls at most, except it be in very strong Robust bodies, who are naturally Costive; but in bodies of a more tender nature, they may being with two spoonfuls, or less if they please; but it must be taken at night going to bed, be it two, three, or four spoonfuls, and the same quantity must be taken also the next Morning. The manner of its Operation will be as it finds cause, in some it will work in six hours, in others in eight or ten, according as Humours abound, and the body is afflicted with different Distempers. this Cordial works frequently by Stool Urine and Sweat, but never by Vomit; 'tis a Medicine of searching nature, and thereby expels those occult Maladies which are destructive in the end to all humane kind, nor is like to other Purging Medicines which usually leave an uneasy binding or astringent quality behind, but 'tis in reality of a Balsamic nature, that heals and strengthens so accurately, that it leaves the body in a most excellent vigorous condition to administration. Children in the Month may take it thus, viz six, eight, or ten drops in any distilled Water as shall be thought fit, and as the Infant, grows on from one month old to twelve, you may increase your drops (as reason and discretion will direct) till it amounts to half a spoonful, and then also qualify as aforesaid, and to Children of two years old, give them one moderate spoonful, and to those of four years old, a spoonful and a half, for those of seven years of age, two spoonfuls, and for such as are older, use your discretion.  
All persons that accustom themselves to the use of this Cordial-drink, will from its first dose be very sensible of its strengthening quality it leaves behind, and so gradually increases or augment the same, till by God's assistance an infallible cure be perfected.  
For all sudden Indispositions, or Cold taken, use this Elixir for three Mornings and three Nights together, and by the blessing of God, it will very rarely fail to perform a cure, let the Malady be what it will; but for old Distempers that have been habitual and continue inveterate, no person can reasonably expect that a small quantity should effect a cure; but having followed the aforesaid Directions, let the person take two spoonfuls at Night, and the same the next Morning for eight or ten days, after which rest a week from taking any more, that nature may receive the undoubted benefit intended by this admirable Cordial; in any fits give a large dose.  
Note, That the first two or three days doses, do but stir up the Humours, which are afterwards by a continuation thereof, most happily carried off; and the Disease (by God's blessing upon the means) perfectly cured, and Health restored, to the great joy of the Patient that long languished under the malignancy of his Distemper.  
Now in the Griping of the Guts, according to the strength of the Patient, may be taken four or five spoonfuls, less or more, as cause requires, and it must be repeated again in five or six hours, and the same again the third time, if need require, and you not doubt of a cure.  
This Elixir is very excellent for such persons that are weak and Consumptive, and for such also that have a weak Digestion, for it very much comforts and strengthens the Stomach, as is before expressed; and in order to this, the Patient may take a spoonful before Dinner, and another after a few days, in the performance whereof the Stomach will be so well cleansed and strengthened, that of necessity the Patient will have a most excellent Appetite: Take the same quantity aforesaid in an old Ptisick-Cough, either before the fit, or after.  
Note, Likewise, that this most excellent Elixir of Life, doth far exceed all Cordial-Drinks, Waters or Sweeting Medicines whatever, for they cause great weakening Sweats, and fails in carrying off the grosser matter, but this Cordial expels much of the peccant Humour by a kind of Transpiration or breathing through the Pores, and lastly evacuates the grosser matter from the very Centre of the Body, to the great comfort and satisfaction of the Patient.  
And let me advise all persons for their own good, as they expect the benefit of this Elixir, to be very exact and careful in following these full Directions.  
And lastly observe, that it may be taken in a small quantity at any time of the day, as an Antidote to prevent Diseases, for 'twill be no hindrance to business, nor need it be seconded with Broth or Posset-drink, as other Purging Physic is: It is safe for all ages, persons, and Seasons, in the hottest Summer and coldest Winter, when critical Diseases reign most, and other Physic cannot be safely, then may this.  
In all fits give a large Dose. It has been found by experience to be a most incomparable Remedy in the highest Fever, even when they Rave: It may be taken at any time, according to the persons strength, for it immediately quiets the Spirits, and cheers and comforts them; and at the same time strengthens the Heart, and drives out the orginal cause by Sweeting and by Stool; so that in few days the person will be refreshed, and the Fever abated to a miracle: They must apply it two or three times, or as there is occasion; this has in five or six hours infallibly cured many persons, as is found by daily experience, which no reasonable person can deny.  
This great Cordial comfortably cleanseth the Bodies of Women after Childbearing; and it also effectually cleanseth the bodies of all persons after the Smallpox, or Measles, and carries off all Dregs and poisonous blood which the Distemper has left behind: It is likewise good for those that are well, to take two or three Bottles of it at Spring and Fall, by the way of prevention; for note, That all violent Purges fail in doing what this Cordial daily does, for their great speedy passing through the Body, generally leaves the ill effects of the Distemper behind.
