Horseradish far exceeds Scurvy grass in curing the Scurvy, Dropsy, Stone, or Gravel, or any other Disease appropriated to Scurvy grass, or the Spirit thereof; by reason it abounds more with Volatile Salt, and by partaking more of the bitter property; which makes it a greater Opener of Obstructions and Allayer of Sharpness: and being prepared as this 〈◊〉 Elixir is, exceeds any Distilled Spirits; for in such preparations no Glass is able to contain its volatile Mercurial Salt, when agitated by that force of Fire which must be used in Common Distillation: for indeed all Vegetable Bodies so prepared, lose their Natural Gifts, and are no more the Medicine they were when at Unity in the Concrete. Therefore the better to inform the Reader touching the Difference between such a Spirit and an Elixir of a Plant or Herb; know that an Elixir is an Essential seminal balsamic Liquor (by some called the Crasis of a Plant) raised to a new or regenerate life, after putrefaction in a proper Dissolvent; and this separated purity I call Elixir, and such preparations as these are fitted for Nature's Reception; that she may dispose of them for those great Uses and Ends they were ordained, etc. Take half a spoonful of this Elixir of Horseradish Morning and Night in a little White Wine, or with Sugar, etc. Note, Any may take these Elixirs in Spring Water, or Water and Sugar, Cider, Tee or Thee, Coffee or Ale; but Canary that is neat and clean is the best to take it in; but Water is better than bad Wine, etc. Price of this Elixir of Horseradish is One shilling a Glass. ☞ Those that have occasion to make use of any ●f the Elixirs, may be furnished with them at the place aforesaid, and in no other place, till farther notice be given by me of other Sellers.
